HELI NOT SPAWNING

[Helion (DayZ) 0]

hello everyone

i got a wierd and frustrating problem

i bought a server 10 days ago with my friends from vilayer.com , its white listed and hive conected

the day the server was first up , more than 35+ players joined and palyed ( guess some of them were scripters)

and i guess some of them, maybe found and crashed the heli , either in the water or at some end of the map idk what to be honest.

Since then it doesent spawn no where , we havent even heard of it , not one player on the server saw or heard the helicopter.

So i dont know what to do now , how to re-spawn and debug that heli , whereever it is.

Cuz i dont want that my server is handicaped because scripters and noobs fuc... up the heli

Can someone give me a advice how to debug that heli and let it respawn?

its been 11 days and still no heli

kind regards

Same thing has happened on my server. Someone found our chopper and has crashed it half under water near Stalinsky Island. It's been stuck there now for over a week and no matter what we do we can't destroy it to force a respawn. Kinda annoying that we have no heli to battle over on my server.

so then , as admins we cant do shi.. about fixing our helis? that is just retarded , server without a heli is crippled

Same problem here.

there must be a way to reset that heli spawn , maybe to delete and re copy some cfg file in the ftop of the server?

i've sent the vilayer support team a ticket about the heli problem , but they just ctl-v'ed me with the answer that it has nothing to do with them,, but the hive

Yes I have the same problem our heli was found over a week ago on a small Island not skaliske island. We can see the heli but it's not been saved for a week, so what can we do to get this back in the loot cycle?? Surely 7 days is too long to wait and even now it's still in the same place half in the water. If you get in you die...

We just started our new server got camped at heli spawn location long story short they got the better of us. They fly off and a we have a 2nd sighting of the heli later that day. End of the 1st Day

Day 2.5 We find the heli on a little island in the middle of nowhere using the PBX but every time the server restarted it was on a slight downward angle on the island causing the heli to slide into the ocean. How long will it take for the heli to get filtered back into the loot cycle? Anyone know? Because there's no way we could push this heli back into a safe spot to take off in as when you got into the heli whist it's just touching water you die as the heli explodes... :o

so what are we supposed to do then? buy a new server everytime someone fu... up the heli? lol

Do a server reset, see if that helps. I dont mean restart RESET. You might lose your vehicles and tents, but if the heli is worth that much to you, then your going to have to.

now it's still in the same place half in the water. If you get in you die...

Same thing on our server. It has respawned twice in the water. Everytime you get in she blows up. Server restart does nothing to fix.

Have you try'd to restart the server as soon as someone jumps in the heli, Also try saving it once it has been blowen up?
