Some lessons learned about the Huey.

[Larce 8]

Backstory:

So my clan finds the Huey spawn on our server after they were added back in yesterday, it's damaged, needs fuel, etc. We spend about 4 hours total gathering parts and fuel for this beast to get it up and running, going back and forth to it, and making it a team project. We assigned certain members to look for parts, get fuel, play overwatch, and just guard the general area for intruders.

It was quite fun, although labor intensive since we had to hit a few cities to get everything.

Anyways, after taking off a few things happened while flying around.....

1. You might find easter eggs:

2. Don't attempt to parachute out of a moving Huey, make sure auto hover is on first:

(I got sucked into the back rotor)

3. Never fly one if you lag or desync a lot, you may crash it like our pilot did:

(Skip to 2 minute mark if don't have patience)

4. Don't go out to a crash site, you may die:

In part 4 what happened was about 6 guys showed up at our crash site shortly after we wrecked the huey. Our pilot who didn't die, (he just spawned where he desynced on the ground) saw these guys looting our bodies. He nailed all of them (he thought) and then the Hive took a dump. After we logged back in, we were looting their corpses only to find one of them was alive and hiding in the bodies, he killed our pilot, but I killed him, we had a 9mmSD battle lol.

I also would like to note the players that showed up had a lot of nice gear, either farmers or dupers, hard to say. All of them had rangfinders, gps, maps, compass, NV goggles, and SD pistols (pretty suspect in my opinion). We've had a problem lately of duper camps on our server.

4 hours of work, 1 hour of flight, 30sec desync of doom, 10 bodies in a 50ft radius.

Priceless

That Desync is hilarious ...

wait 7 days for respawn and you get to do it all over again :P

Indeed! Next time the euro player won't be flying it though.... lulz.

Never seen an RGO Frag Grenade before (#4 Link @ 4:55), is that a legit item?

Desync only occures like that to the passengers, your pilot actually failed on the flying part... FPS lag? Could be, but him flipping over is him doing it as he streams HIS location and angle to the server, not the other way around.

He was kicked by battle eye for ping time out when he crashed, right before that happened we had the huey bouncing all over the place, you can even hear him say he got kicked for high ping right after the odd desync we were all seeing, wasn't his flying. He's a vet player of ARMA II and his job was/is to fly transports.

Go to the 44 minute mark, this is what he saw: Link

I was wondering that too, I put it down after picking it up since I had not seen them before, but I don't pick up nades often anyways.

Oh cool, thanks for letting me know, we had no idea what the hell it said lol.

I'll bite, whats script restriction #55?

[slyder73 94]

yeah, what is the script restriction #55. My buddy got kicked with that one last night and our little red tractor disappeared.

I fixed up a UAZ that had 10 of these in it, and I wasnt sure about them so I dropped them. I couldnt imagine trying to get the Heli going, it took me 2-3hrs of running around just to get the UAZ going....then of course it was found when I logged after work. So it really wasnt worth it for the time that I put into it. The 55 error is really odd, Im starting to believe it is a hack? Because it seems to only happen to me on my home server...and it seems to come up at really inconvenient times.(driving vehicles, looting crashed heli's etc.) Ive also had vehicles disappear on me after being kicked with the same error.

Aw, only 4 Lessons Learned? Damn, just one short...
