Vehicle spawn changed in 1.7.2.6?

Recommended Posts

So, in 1.7.2.5. I found a Huey in Skalisty Island, it took me some hours to repair it, but when I was flying with it, the server gave me a message that the server is going to restart in 3 minutes, so me and my friends, landed it and saved, the server restart and when we came back it wasnt there. I read on the internet that the vehicles were not saving in 1.7.2.5, so I waited till .6 and tryed to find q Huey on Skalisty, but no servers I joined had one, and before 1.7.2.6, I could find a Huey on basicly any server. So my question is : have the vehicle spawn changed?

Because vehicles now save properly, it's worth more to have a Heli then before. So people now want a heli because it WILL stay. Also, the spawn is still the same.

You can almost never find a helicopter at their normal spawn point. The reason they were always there before, was that they didn't save right, so as you discovered, they reset after every server restart.

Not only Vehicles but I noticed Heli Crashes have been spawning more and different locations on my Server, I have only seen the Fixable at the island on the server also - I like it though

But what happen when the heli explode? After the server restart it spawns at the normal spawns like Skalisty Island...

That's true, but since the guys who owned it probably have decent infrastructure and a strong presence on the server, they'll be online moments after the next server restart either standing at each helo spawn or zipping between them on ATVs or dirt bikes to reclaim their whirlybird. They'll have all the parts in a truck or boat and they'll get that sucker up and running inside of twenty minutes, and then they're back in control of the skies.
