FR1 last crash despawned heli

[vpope 28]

Has anyone else encountered this in 1.5.4 , i thought the vehicle saves had been fixed in this patch, but i managed to finally fix a heli and fly it away only to hear that the FR1 server just crashed and restarted and now the heli is gone.....

My rage is obviously huge but Im more concerned as to weather or not the vehicle saves are broken for everyone of its just a single server issue.

The heli was moved about 9 or 10 hrs ago, it was stationary from that time , i interacted with it after we landed it (twice) i got in it and i put items inside. I logged in about 6 hours ago before work to check it was till there and it was , i again interacted with the inventory. About 2 hours ago my freinds logged in and it was still there , they got into it and out and interacted with the inventory, the server crashed not long ago , within the last 30 mins. Once it came back up my freinds logged back in and it is gone, they logged in with the first wave on entreis so they would have seen it fly away if it had been taken, (that and its in a well hidden spot) I had them check the original spawn potition of the heli to see if it had been re-spawned in a damaged state (like used to happen in 1.5.3) and its not there.

If any of the admins could check the DB and jsut see if the thing even still exists that would be something.....

Update

I have conformation that one of the guys guarding it was in within 60 seconds of the server starting up , so its can not have been stolen , the only conclusion we can come to is that it re-spawned and someone fixed it up (at its original location) and flew it off.....

I realise this is not exactly of any consequence but if someone could spare just a few moments to look into it for us we would be extremely greatfull. As it was being used as temp storage since our tents all vanished in the 1.5.4 update..

It's back. Server crashed a second time, when we logged back in it was there again.

can you provide some more detail about what state it is? compared to what state you would expect it to be in now?

It's the same as we left it. Everything green. There is 0 fuel though. There was a blinking red sliver before hand that has now disappeared.

It's in the place we moved it to though, rather than the place it spawns in. So what happened has happened before with our tents. We put tents down, server restarted they were all gone, server restarted again and they came back. Now it's happened with the Huey. We lost 3 tents the other day that we haven't got back, but the Huey has reappeared.

That generally happens when the admins restart HIVE it desync's with the ArmA2 server during startup. If they're lazy - they will restart HIVE and everything continues as if the initialization has been done. If they're smart - they will restart the arma2 server and leave hive up.
