axchicago 13 Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone.So here's the deal. I need your help and advice. My group and I found a Chopper, not a crash site, one you can fix. BUT...notice the big "but" the god damn thing is under water. lol. haha. yea get it out. It's the most annoying thing ever! (no i won't say where or what server)...SO, we have seemingly figured out a way to fix the thing...but here is the deal...the first time one of my guys got in the thing, it fucken EXPLODED!Now here's my actual question...Once we complete all the repairs on the thing and obviously fill her up, is it just going to explode again becuase it's in the water, or did it just explode becuase we didn't have it completely fixed? I'd really like a response...so I know whether or not to spend some time on this thing or to let it go...Thanks in advance for your response. +Ch!cago+ Edited August 1, 2012 by +Ch!cago+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

axchicago 13 Posted August 1, 2012 It will explode, after you replace the part it will instantly break again.Becuase it's in the water? I mean, i've seen one flying since the new update... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaeLK 16 Posted August 1, 2012 I wouldn't suggest to keep trying with it.probably due to it being bugged underwater whenever someone enters and it tries to sync up with that person it explodes.so....my advice is don't do it, you have less than 1% chance to get it working 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axchicago 13 Posted August 1, 2012 so....my advice is don't do it, you have less than 1% chance to get it working-Noted-might dink around a bit more, but I was kind of already feeling the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
umandez 139 Posted August 1, 2012 Best Chance is to prolly hope Anders sees this or pm him asking nicely to respawn it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jameson369 0 Posted August 29, 2012 I am having the same problem, only the chopper is in the ocean...and i havent tried to carry items out to fix it in the ocean becauase i figure even if i can fix it, it will blow up upon take off...SO, i restart the server, but nothing, it's still there in the water...i even tried shooting the tale of the chopper with a as50 to blow it up thinking that would hlep it repawn but not luck...anybody have this problem or any way to fix it?

coolcow 1 Posted September 10, 2012 Same problem on my server. :(Entering as pilot blows instandly the heli up. No way to getting it out of water. After each restart it spawns on the same place under water, repairable but...And the real problem is, that the arma2oaserver.RPT file grows rapidly up to many Gigabytes due to the dammage messages of the underwater-heli.Must i realy go to the dark side and use a vehicle teleport hack, just for fixing the bugy heli ??!!

venthos 605 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Yeah, water will make it explode every time. Copters + water = angries!If you explode the chopper and then SAVE the exploded chopper, it should disappear on next restart and respawn at a random chopper spawn location in 7 days.

jason_m_perry@hotmail.com 38 Posted September 10, 2012 Fix it a little....satchel charge it. Wait 7 days for it to respawn. Success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolcow 1 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Ok, here is the trick:* Go to the chopper.* if you can't enter the chopper while swimming, ask someone to break your leg.* enter the chopper as pilot and let it blow up.* die* come back to the chopper* if you can't save the chopper while swimming, ask someone to break your leg.* save the chopper* wait for the next server restart, or restart it yourself if you can.* enjoy to see that the chopper doesnt spawn anymore under water* wait a week for the next chopper spawn at one of the spawn points Edited September 12, 2012 by coolcow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
