Anybody else notice the irony?... a thread about the hijacking of a website has been hijacked itself...

Cheers!

Not anymore and not in the near future.

Hey kevin,

 

Just found out SB4 should not be started within fsx, that may have been an issue for me - I was also getting a lot of tearing also, which isn't there when offline.

 

I will retry tomorrow starting SB from start menu

Interesting. I wouldn't know, as I use FS9.

Yes start up SB4 after FSX is started outside of fsx

I thought that sites had a way of storing passwords that meant that they couldn't be easily accessed in reverse, hashing and salting I think it's called? Works easily one way but not the other...

It is trivial to determine since the vast majority of VATSIM passwords are six characters long, all digits. If you are a VATSIM member, you should probably assume that your password has been compromised.

I make simFDR, the most advanced flight data recorder for FSX, Prepar3D and X-Plane.

When I tried to log in to Vatsim forum via Tapatalk I got the message; "We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forgive. Do not forget us.".

 

What a bunch of sorry ...

 

Good for nothing hacker can't even get his own tagline right...

Vatsim as a warm up maybe? I don't know, a banned member seems plausible

I highly doubt a former member of a flight sim community did it... (After all, we don't know our ways with computers, do we?  :P) It seems like it's a chain of hacks that is going on right now. Except for Apple, they're targeting small communities.

Ha, I see what you mean yeah..still the Ubuntu community would be bigger then the vatsim community, maybe not.

 

Any news on how Vatsim is doing? You'd think they'd say something on vatsim.net but they haven't yet.
