vehicle disapearing after server restart

[Northling 39]

so to make a long story short me and my friends found our very first helicopter and when we parked it and looted a place everyone got "session lost" message and when we enter the game again the helicopter is gone and its not at the last save point. where could it be?

Probably a hacked heli. I heard they disappear after server restarts, I may be wrong though.

All spawned in vehicles (not in the DB) disappear after server restarts. This is because vehicles not in the database cannot be manually saved to the database by a player.

it could be at the place where u found it.

we also found a chopper, fixed it, flew around, saved it. after a serverrestart the chopper was gone. after checking all places we landed we finally found it where we found it first.

this actually happens after every serverrestart...

we found it broken on top of klen (the mountain next to khelm) is there a chopper spawn there?

I have tried this 3 days in a row now and can confirm that the helicopter keeps respawning at the same original spawn place (the island) after every server restart. Makes it useless to even bother fixing it now. (Version 1.7.2.5 no issues in .4)

Same issue here.

Looks like only a revert to 1.7.2.4 could work or.. wait for the hotfix.
