Client not responding and Heli crashed after kick

[polli 57]

Yesterday we lost our heli. Shit happens, no problem.

But the way we lost it, was not so funny. My girlfriend, who sit next to me, and is on the same connection as i, and also two friends where with me inside the heli. I was kicked off from my server with "client not responding". But that only happens to me. All my friends where killed because the heli crashed. As i logged back in, I was still alive with all my stuff at the position i was kicked out. My friends had to start with new characters. Sorry for that mates.

The server running fine at this time and my girlfriend still stays in the game. My PC also running smooth with no obviously issues.

The lost of the heli isn´t a big problem, but that all passengers where killed for an error that comes from an other reason than from the pilot is not so funny.

Now my question. Could this be an hive issue? What can i do to give the server more time to wait for the client responding? And if it´s not possibel, isn´t it better when another passenger can take seat when the pilot was kicked? You can switch positions between the gunners but not to the pilot seat. A better solution imo can be that the heli stand still when the pilot was kicked. So it can run out of fuel and than chrash, or an other passenger can take the pilot seat. What do you think?

Sorry for my bad english and thanks for your help/opinion :)
