Hi,


Yes, .. and it looks like quite a few have been receiving them, judging by the activity on the ED forums.

No official word from ED yet.


Cheers

Yeah, looks like everyone's getting them. Apparently the ED forumites can't quite grasp the idea that it doesn't require a new thread for every person affected, though:

It's the middle of the night over in Moscow, so that'll be a pleasant surprise for ED to wake up to. biggrin

Got a couple myself. Good to know I'm not specifically being targeted.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

I had 2 last night, kind of surprised me as I rarely post, even browse, over there.

Official response from forums:
We had password change request attack. You don't need to change your password. Attacker was blocked. User accounts were not affected.

One shouldn't be so quick to rush to judgment, when one is not is possession of the facts, .. or, not there at the time.

3 or 4 of us posted at the EXACT same time, .. or within a few seconds of one another.

When I started a new topic, there were NO other threads about the issue.

As soon as I posted and the thread reloaded, .. there were suddenly 3 or 4.

It happens .. sigh

I had one .. but it coincided with me buying the fw190 and the mig 21 on steam ... and having to install dcs world on steam ... so i thought it was something to do with having two dcs world sign on's with the same user name


Dont think of it as being vastly outnumbered ... but just having a large target selection.

The only thing more accurate than incoming fire, is incoming friendly fire
