    Works fine for me. That looks more like slowness to the point where some of the web page files are not loading correctly, not necessarily hacked.

    Starting to think you're right

    Hi there,

    I think there's definitely something wrong there, too - something to do with security certificates, I am led to believe. I've been battling to access the website for about two months. The only browser that works for me is Tor - but beware, this browser can also take you to places you may not want to go, so use wisely and with utmost discretion.

    No problem here. Could it be a problem with certain browsers? I'm on Chrome.

    Thanks - Rob

    I managed to download the Wozza AT-6 Texan and accompanying mods. All I noticed it was very slow at times...
