24 pilots on according to the Vatsim homepage
No aircraft according to Servinfo
No luck on trying to log on
This is definitely a first for me. Wow

VATSIM is under a DDOS attack, and they're struggling to deal with it. At some point in the future I might manage to eke out some sympathy for them.
Cheers!

Hmmm, well it is not that much flying off-line but at least we have ACARS going. This is getting old.
Kevin, I took my Private pilot check flight at Murfreesboro over 30 years back. Check pilot was Rock Merriweather. MTSU is one great aviation school.

I just kind of gave up trying to connect, it was screwing with my computer.
Scott, MTSU is a great school. I am finishing up the Professional Pilot program here and should graduate by December. Working on the Flight Instructor Certificates now.

Kevin, I got my CFI at Nashville and I flew for a number of years as a CFI and charter pilot in the southeast out of Smyrna (KMQY) and KBNA.
My best friend graduated from MTSU flight program and will retire this year from US Air and although he has griped over the last few years he has had a great career.

I wonder if Vatsim forgot to patch some servers or firewalls.

I dont understand why anyone would want to DDoS VATSIM....
Then again I dont understand why anyone would like to write a virus or use cheats on an online game such as battlefied or Call of duty.
There really are some idiots out there and unfortunately i can't reach throught the internet and throttle them. It really would be a public service removing the fingers of scumbags like that, no fingers, no ability to use their computers to ruin things for decent honest folks.
Sorry if my views seem a little extreme, but after 3 years of playing battlefield2 and having to tollerate 1000's of cheats running game hacks, then 100's of hack attempts per month on our clan website; I have a very dim view of how to deal with toilets like that.
Rant over, time to take a chill pill me thinks.

Our clan is going through the same problem on Wolfenstein: ET at the minute...in the past week we have banned over 30 people for game hacks and for hacking into the server and changing the passwords....thats one thing i like about flight sim you can fly and not have to worry about botters wiping you out every 5 seconds lol
