Indeed as well I have had an issue somewhat like this, thought i just had the worst luck ever, stumbled upon 2 damaged Striders, both missing a few wheels. I was a repair man with a toolkit, so I was like mini jackpot baby! I walked up to the first, started the repair, and poof, despawn. I was like fuck i obviously just missed the 30min despawn timer. Walked up to the 2nd, started repairing and poof again.

TL

R Tried to repair 2 vehicles back to back, both despawned

Had a similar "WTF", while towing a battered turtle to base loaded with barriers, weapons and what not... unloaded the front vehicle and really thought some one was messing with me when I didn't see the turtle in the back when I got back... lesson: unload when you get there.. then move them..

Still buggy, 50%. and to reiterate what Nuckle said, obviously the Blackfoot was not sitting on a rock or a tree, it was on the tarmac.

Yeah I have fixed it in my local version, will release this weekend.

Now that's weird... I did make it so the vehicle respawn timer starts if an item gets taken from the inventory, but I dunno if its related... will look into it.

EDIT: Meh, 5 seconds in the code and I could already see the error... Basically, I made a small mistake which prevents the respawn timer from resetting when someone gets in the vehicle. Will fix before weekend.

Thanks Rev!

Can you look into the crates. As of today I still can not move any crates or load them in Vehicles. Its odd.

Just got down playing on my private Vehicle Test Bed server. So much learned! #1 IFVs are insanely powerful and awesome.

Most importantly, I finally figured out how to reload armed vehicles/helicopters. In Arma 2, you simply drove up/landed next to a Supply truck. This is no longer the case.

A new item called, Supply Crate - Vehicle Ammo, is in the game, pull up next to it, and your vehicle slowly starts to automatically reload. Rev I figure you can put them into the crate missions as a rare crate? That fucker would be a precious precious item!

Also Rev can you look into making Armed Hunters/Ifrits/Striders that just spawn into the map regular, but at a very rare %. Perhaps 1-10% of the chance of a regular one. With all the new Armor thats finding its way into the maps, we need more stuff to fight against this shit. Most APCs last a very long time once spawned in as they are currently a bitch to fight against!
