Contents Updates
Hey admins, is it possible you could update the contents list to include the recently added vehicles? Cheers. --Skunkfu (talk) 09:09, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Skoda Location - EliteASH_11
I added the location of the vehicle I believe is a Skoda go check it out, It wasn't there the first time I visited tulga but was there after a server restart

Questions to be Answered
1. After a vehicle is repaired and moved from its original spawn location, will another spawn in its place? -> no

2. How long does it take for a vehicle to re-spawn? ->7 days currently but it bugs a lot so it mostly respawns after restart

3. Will a vehicle's location after been moved remain persistent between sessions for the same server? -> yes, at least from mod.version 1.7.2.4

4. If a vehicle is flipped on its side, can it be pushed back over? -> yes its risky though

5. Are there a finite number of vehicles? (I.e., 4 ATVs in total.)

 * 1. There are fixed spawn locations for vehicles, so the possibility that another vehicles will spawn at the same location is there. However, it might not be the same vehicle or it may spawn at another location. Also see 5.
 * Would like to know how to directly view these spawn locations, I have looked all over the source, and although I find the function that spawns vehicles I can't find where it is actually called -Billw 06:24, 12 June 2012 (MDT)
 * After intense search in the code files, I think that there are server files, which we don't have. (for example serverObjectMonitor) - Leucetius 08:24, 12 June 2012 (MDT)
 * There is the SP version of DayZ, maybe I will look at that tonight, assuming it includes the vehicle spawning. -Billw 06:28, 13 June 2012 (MDT)
 * It's outdated since rocket forbid the further development. (look in forum for reason) - Leucetius 02:36, 17 June 2012 (MDT)
 * And I've found the code ... analysing it now - Leucetius 02:45, 17 June 2012 (MDT)
 * 2. If I remember correctly this is 24 hours after the previous got destroyed.
 * 3. Currently no. Vehicles get removed when the server resets, since this data is not stored anywhere. Might change in the future, but it might be too hard.
 * 4. Technically; yes. The ARMA2 engine allows it and I've done it before. However you'll need another vehicles and might damage both in the process. I have never tested it with the vanilla version though (I have a shitload of mods running).
 * 5. Yes. Each server has a fixed maximum of vehicles (eg. 3 Hueys, 6 trucks, 1 bus, etc.). Each vehicle has it's own spawnlocations (with overlap). It's not a garantee that the maximum is reached, however the longer the server runs, the more chance it will have all available vehicles.


 * Please note, these are not facts but from what I know by reading the forums and studying the source code. Someone else might have better/more accurate answers and we might try to ask these questions at the forums to be sure. - Grezvany13 01:38, 11 June 2012 (MDT)


 * It wasnt my questions i pasted here - But questions posted on the page itself. - But anyways... - Would be nice to merge the Q&A's and put it in the Vehicles heading. - sEi (Talk) 01:54, 11 June 2012 (MDT)

Huey item capacity
I'm part of a group that has a Huey, but we aren't able to put more than 20 items in it.

Some items require more than 1 item slot. So if you don't specify what type of items you put in the Huey, then this question may not be answered.

More question (s)
Does a vehicle with a damaged fuel tank leak when it's parked?

no it doesnt unless the fuel tank is deatroyed (completely red not just orange etc.) but the Huey does always leak unless fully repaired once.

The PBX has only 4 seats. not actually a question but right anyways ...

White Sedan - very rare
Found a WHITE sedan (unlike all the other I have seen, which are red). Location: 123 - 045 (Khelm)

Phatom SUV
I found an SUV and I'm sure it's not hacked, admin says there's one on the server log. What are the stats for this machine does anyone know? I've recorded 115k on tarmac and 74k off road but got 85k going down a steep hill. I don't know about items/weapons/backpacks yet or fuel capacity. It needed a fueltank and two wheels when I found it at Gzovdno near where the GAZ is supposed to be. All in all it's very fast both on and off road and can take a fair amount of punishment. I have flipped it onto it's roof once but it was back on it's wheels after a server restart.


 * I've seen this SUV too, its pretty great. I don't know much about it either though, sadly. Pathogen-David (talk) 23:49, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Confirmed on a Public Server in 1211 as a natural spawn located at 091043 were the dirt bike belongs. Spawn rate is low at .001% I believe (I cant find any reference on the percentage) The stats are as follows:

Fuel capacity: 130 liters Capacity: 6 seats Inventory: 50 items/10 weapons/2 backpacks That should help. --HacksawJack (talk) 02:10, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Question: Vehicles spawning when in vehicles?
Will other vehicles spawn when driving a vehicle?--JohnSixxScott (talk) 00:19, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Vehicles spawn on server resets (or after 7 days, depending on whether or not the server decides to bug a bit), so, yes and no. They are already spawned when you arrive, whether it's on foot or in a vehicle. 64.253.217.55 04:09, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Rare Spawns
Hey I'm looking for a HMMVW I know that they spawn, and rarely at that. But if anyone has found one send me the coordinates of the spawn, map, and condition it is in. I just am trying to find a main area of there spawn. Also if you find any other rare spawn vehicles I want the same info, once I know this I will put it up here.


 * This should help you with finding your vehicle spawns, no matter what vehicle you're looking for. It's also a great tool to use for searching for just about everything else!

Additional Information
Hello,

it would be great if you could add the database ids/class names to the table.
