[Flightgear-devel] wiki spammer

Looks like our wiki is the target of a pr0n spam bot. It obviously uses zombies, and there's no reasonable way to block it other than with making logging in mandatory. Blocking IP addresses is pointless and will lead nowhere. I don't even consider mandatory login a bad thing -- why would we want

Hi Guys, We had to put logins onto the X-Plane SDK wiki - we got spammed pretty hard. Since the auth was put in we've had no problems. *cheers* Ben Melchior FRANZ wrote: Looks like our wiki is the target of a pr0n spam bot. It obviously uses zombies, and there's no reasonable way to block

Hi, Great to see how the state of the heli simulation goes on! Great! Hope to see the better bo 105 soon. Quote:No, but I guess one could fake that by taking the 2blade helicoptersound and blend it in. I'll try once I know how the stall valuelooks like Sounds nice, but I hope you will perhaps

Hi, How you can improve the weather in Flightgear? Well, I tried the bigstorm_demo.xml and it's great! But it looks of coirse not very well. Well, my question is how the 3D clouds are generated? Is this a ac.-format, or somthing else? Thanx HHS
