Bugged chopper on FR4 causing havoc

[mrtavish 0]

Date/Time: Over the past week

What happened: Much mayhem over confusion of bugged chopper on Elektro fire station roof

Where you were: Elektro

What you were doing: Observing others trying to repair and executing repairs myself

*Current installed version: 1.5.7 and 1.5.8.2

*Server(s) you were on: FR4

*Your system specs:

Intel Core i7 2600 3.4Ghz on a ASUS P8Z68-V PRO, 8GB DDR3, GTX 560 TI

*Timeline of events before/after error:

The chopper on the main Fire Station roof in Elektro has been the source of much entertainment over the last week - due to the awesome challenge of trying to sneak into town with all the necessary supplies and get the chopper working, without getting shot or eaten.

There is a chopper has been repaired multiple times but sadly the Hull never repairs (around 20 scrap metal added), and therefore cannot refuel Heli (almost 30 jerry cans wasted).

Also, the damage to hull and engine seems to always gets slightly worse after a server restart, even though the vehicle had been saved.

A few groups and individuals have tried hard in vein to get the bird in the air. Some players last night added 18 scrap, 2 engines and 12 fuel cans. These supplies took literally hours and days to gather. It's disheartening to say the least, when all theose supplies go to waste. Some players spent all day yesterday trying to get it fixed but couldn't.

I suggest, if possible, could it be destroyed? So it respawns somewhere else.

I love the idea and challenge of a copper on a roof top in a busy town! It just needs to be repairable :)

What do you guys think? Any other problems like this?

Cheers,

Tav

Yes, on US12 there is a similar issue with a chopper in starry sobor. Impossible to fix, impossible to fuel. :C

There was also an issue similar to this on Atlanta 1 west of the airfield near Lopatino. Many hours were put into fixing it.

I wonder if destroying the chopper so it can respawn will fix the issue?
