FlightSim.com I honestly think is GONE.
Speaking AS someone in the I.T. field, (since 1984), I find it HILARIOUS, it's taking those bunch of clowns as long as it is to re-do!
A visual, makeover should take NO MORE that 3-4 months tops, not 6+ and counting!
I think you will find FlightSim.to has quietly taken it's place, (but you aren't supposed to know that!).
As I said earlier, "bunch of clowns", and we ALL know it!

FlightSim.to is pointless to me, I've never been there and have no desire to go as I don't use any of the new MSFS products and never will.
I only upload my creations to SOH but I wonder if the former Flightsim.com members who only uploaded their files to the Flightsim.com library have any legal grounds regarding the fact that their files are no longer available to the public thanks to the removal of the site from public access?
I guess that would depend on what was in the fine print when they uploaded to the library and whether there was any comeback for failure to make available.
Much confusion..
Flightsim.to is NOT the same as Flightsim.com!!
Flightsim.to caters for the MSFS2020/2024 guys exclusively, Flightsim.com - everyone else.
Everyone, members & uploaders, got plenty of notice that Flightsim was shutting shop for a while..
Seriously.. legal grounds for 'missing' freeware?
At the moment Flightsim.com caters to no-one!
Anything is possible if a lawyer gets paid enough, look at all the lawsuits currently being fought for stupid reasons! If a developer submitted their files to a file library on an exclusive basis and that file library then with-holds access to those files then a canny lawyer could argue that the public is being denied access to those files by the actions of the file library owner. Stranger things happen in courts across the USA every day!

The fact is that the new owners of Flightsim.com have got day jobs and family commitments just like the rest of us.
They are NOT full-time Flightsim.com employees or contractors.
If the new website takes longer than estimated to create and launch, so be it - projects like this usually do.
Maybe a progress update on the Flightsim.com landing page would be very much appreciated, in place of this message:
