......... As srgalahad said, many modelers and painters uploaded only to AvSim, many modelers stated that repaints could only be uploaded to AvSim. With those files being no where else (except maybe on Simnetwork since that site is always uploading files to their site without permission), many many files may never be seen again.

FSDome is another that does the same, its a shame yes, but if you google long and hard enough, most MSFS/CFS files will pitch up on another server somewhere, those who will be hardest hit are the small developers and supporters of 'historic' programs such as Flight Unlimited II/III, Fly!,Pro-Pilot and maybe Flightgear and Orbiter, for whom Avsim was a major,if not the only,repository for user tweeks and program upgrades.
