Helicopters in the game?

[notemedown 2]

I have heard they are, and are not, in the game.

So i would just like to clarify, are they?

Me and 6 other friends are at every spawn point...on a freshly restarted, updated server...no choppers...

May take a "moment" for them to spawn in.

You didn't update to 1.7.2.4. If you did, you'd be saying that you can't join any servers.

Updated perfectly fine to 1.7.2.4.

Server is running it, we're all running it. Logged in. Got that new loading picture with "DayZ" lettering.

Vehicles aren't guaranteed to spawn on a restart. When we got out fresh server with a brand new instance ID it took about 4 days before the first vehicle was spotted, there are no guarantees Helicopters are going to instantly spawn in... and if the past is any indication, they are going to spawn in like once a week.

When we bought the server. It was setup within the hour. All the vehicles had spawned. We had a bus and were driving through the main cities finding vehicles left right and center, we couldn't get them all...
