[1.7.2.4] Helicopters available?

[vendaar 18]

Hello,

I would like to know if helicopters are in game yet.

Found different statements about "not yet" to "yes they are" .. nothing proof.

Greetings

From what I understand yes. But they may not have spawned yet. Patch wise yes, actually spawned yet.. no real confirmation.

[Puffler 36]

They should be now. They were re-added in the .4 update.

[Nille (DayZ) 35]

They are back without radar

It is supposed to take something like 34 hours to begin spawning.. just what I heard elsewhere. Can't promise that number is accurate.

They are not added yet. Only the radar is disabled now for the servers which have spawning helicopters.

Confirming this. Stary Sobor is usually a tad risky - mostly because you can run into others looting the place. However, since the update I've run into camping snipers around that place on three different servers (got away twice because they were terrible shots, died the third time. Must've been lucky or skilled. I'm placing my bets on "luck" but ended up too dead to verify). Only afterwards I realized that in addition to having some juicy military tents, there is a helicopter spawn point there...

Avoiding the place like plague for now.

Anyone else found helis today?

[ponc 100]

[okano666@hotmail.co.uk 81]

legit copters will be back tomorrow morning

[assibaer3 3]

from who do u know that?

[Yoko (DayZ) 20]

From what i have been hearing and reading helicopters should be in some time soon as they are waiting a day for server to update to the new patch as the data server is being changed over to a new one.

[assibaer3 3]

that means tomorrow?

Does the time depend on server restart?

Vehicle spawns do not come from the server, no.

They are controlled by the hive, and run on secret intervals not related to the servers themselves.

[vendaar 18]

are they ingame yet?

saw 4 guys with a chopper on my server today..

hacked?

do vehicles spawn as soon as the prior spawned ones are gone or do they spawn randomly at those known places?
