soulres 1 Posted July 25, 2012 finnally got in the mood to play this game and i saw helicopters were disabled,are they still currently disabled? if so anyone know when they will re-enable them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klu 20 Posted July 25, 2012 I haven't heard they were disabled...However, if you're just now starting the game, helicopters will be the least of your worries for the forseeable future :beans: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huey (DayZ) 87 Posted July 25, 2012 I haven't heard they were disabled...However, if you're just now starting the game, helicopters will be the least of your worries for the forseeable future :beans:Hehe,Yes disabled atm, some very old servers still may have one but most you see now are cheated in..I expect the HUEY heli`s back in 2-3 patches.

soulres 1 Posted July 25, 2012 I haven't heard they were disabled...However, if you're just now starting the game, helicopters will be the least of your worries for the forseeable future :beans:not just starting,more of waiting for things to be fixed,and the more i start to search and dig for things the more disapointed i get,(llike Dayz being a paid standalone) i like dayz only thing i dont like is,if a zombie sees you,you cant get away from it,only if the AI glitches cause they run through buildings,dont get tired,a gun makes the equation worse, a fireaxe was pointless cuase ide get hit twice before i swing.their is alot wrong that should of been fixed,making the game harder might of been a good idea for veteran players,but the single worst idea for new players. this game just has bad news encoded into it.Hehe,Yes disabled atm, some very old servers still may have one but most you see now are cheated in..I expect the HUEY heli`s back in 2-3 patches.

johannesmp 2 Posted July 25, 2012 thats very disapointing, any reason they were removed? or was it just too many complaints?There were some desync issues that caused passengers in Huey's to randomly die, and they were quite buggy in general.

nufcmickey 32 Posted July 25, 2012 Yer I watched an Interview with Rocket on You Tube today, He said he took them out because they where way too laggy, But weirdly all road vehicles are also laggy as hell but they still in the game, Think he said he bringing them back when its all fixed.

LeOverlord 150 Posted July 26, 2012 Some can still be in the game...If the group owning them has saved them for sometime...But 90% of the Huey's in game are hacked in... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloud (DayZ) 3 Posted July 26, 2012 I'm not saying I flew a hacked-in heli that I didn't spawn (I really didn't spawn it) but me and 4 others (me as pilot, but the heli doesn't exist so how could i of piloted it?) flew all around chernarus doing some badass raiding. I landed next to crashed helis.. landed next to markets.. I even landed right on the factory rooftop that's south east of Polana. Desyncs happened every few minutes except for the pilot (me but I didn't pilot anything) but when the desyncs happened.. it looks like I crash the heli or whatever for others but for me (the pilot) I never desync. I really don't know what the problem is with helis other than the desyncing issue which is just a pseudo-reality when it happens as everybody resyncs a few seconds later.:) Oh and Helicopters are awesome other than the fact you can just just look straight down and see EVERY SINGLE THING through the miles of trees. Can see stashed vehicles and tents easily. Sorta kills the point of spending hours trying to find a hidden camp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulres 1 Posted July 26, 2012 Some can still be in the game...If the group owning them has saved them for sometime...But 90% of the Huey's in game are hacked in...no like i saw someone say their legitidmtly back. like their actual spawns are enabled now cause they fixed the De-sync issue with todays patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red_orchestra@msn.com 112 Posted July 26, 2012 Helicopters are commonly scripted in by hackers. So yes they're in the game but they're gone in the sense that they're not suppose to be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloud (DayZ) 3 Posted July 26, 2012 I'm sure if helicopters were re-introduced into the game it would be more publicized. I think it's safe to say natural helicopter spawns aren't in the game again yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bust3d 0 Posted July 26, 2012 no like i saw someone say their legitidmtly back. like their actual spawns are enabled now cause they fixed the De-sync issue with todays patchI honestly don't think they are fixed yet. We stole a server admin's Huey the other day, and my mate got killed by desynch.(Server admin wasn't too happy about the theft though, pilot was killed by a hacker when he logged on later. Just by chance i guess :P)And huey's have a radar function, that enables them to track vehicles & tents. Making it extremely easy to find larger camps & stashed vehicles.Im guessing that's the main reason it got removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slyder73 94 Posted July 26, 2012 Some of the other RPG mods for Arma2 have heli's in them, no problem. It shouldn't be long for the DayZ team to replicate the stability those others have.Having played Arma2 from the start, including the RPG mods, having a helicopter is most often a liability unless you have a VERY organized, disciplined group who take their role seriously. It is also important for large groups to have a leader or all hell breaks loose and the whole "Leroy Jenkins" scene replays all over again including a big helicopter explosion or theft.I will stick to the ground. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
