Where are all the vehicles :S

[gardiner83@hotmail.co.uk 14]

Initially i thought clans took all the vehicles to the north edges of the map however i went raiding with a bicycle i found near some flats & found atleast 6 tents but no vehicles... If they aren't storred up north, where are they?

Not just north, the western boarders as well as in any forest that isn't near an important point on the map are usual spots. People can hide vehicles ANYWHERE on the map though.

[Kyzahh 127]

Respawning.

Or anywhere else they may hide them on the map.

is it possible to hide them "outside" the map? Like when your ingame map hight coordinates go back to 999? There are no trees there, and no detail, you can see a clear line between coordinates 000 and 999. But do they respawn when you hide a vehicle there or is it like any other place on the map?

Maybe, i found a tent on the outside of the map & it was completely locked down & stuck.

Not in .5 they don't.

Not in .5 they don't.

So it's instant? or they just don't respawn at all?

I've found its harder to find vehicles, spawns or other peoples.

They spawn in the exact same place they were destroyed.

I usually find them in the woods, with a camping sniper not far away. Found a bicycle today, was having fun until I rode it into a pond...

lol ....

i found a bike near some flats but there was no-one insight. i.e. i spawn the zombies so i just rode off with it asap. Who leaves uncamped vehicles :/

Ok, can someone explain how the vehicles spawn exactly?

I've found multiple vehicles in the past at their spawn points, especially bicycles at the lighthouse inbetween electro & cherno.

The way i thought vehicles spawn is that the Dayz team triggers the event that vehicles spawn at their locations regardless if the original vehicles are still alive? However this event doesn't happen very often either.

Whilst on some bugged servers, we found the vehicles just respawn back to their spawn place in their initial condition (broken) after a server restart. i.e. the bus in cherno, repaired it then it dissapeared after a restart (not taken, we were online) then a fews days later i spotted it back in cherno & some poor guy was running around looking for repairs :)

[ANSWER]

It's not random, they are either there or someone has taken them, if they are destroyed they respawn on the next restart afaik

Yes, it is possible. Me and my friends successfully saved and recovered a bus twice about 5000m from the treeline (in 1.7.2.5. btw). However, there seems to be a limit to that. Once we've tried to save a boat at the tiny island about 13km to the south east. We both respawned at the shore on the next log in, since these coordinates seem to be out of bound for saving.

They spawn in the exact same place they were destroyed.

AFAIK they spawn in their original spawn locations (those marked in the online maps) after the server restarts if they are destroyed (or not saved). Otherwise there wouldn't be any vehicles left at their original spawns after a couple of hours, right?

Oh believe me, the clans do have them, and some will be stored up north, others to the west, but many will also be around the map... whats the point of a vehicle after all if its stashed in the middle of nowhere.

But yeah, speaking as a clanner myself, clans usually have most of the vehicles, and in fact spend most of their time stealing them from each other.
