    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Flightsim.to has changed again

Been out of the Country for 10 days and it seems they have completely changed the .TO site UI.

The most useful part for me was the "updates since last visit" - can anyone help me with how to find that now please?
 
Look under your account and select "what's new" after reviewing, don't forget to tap "save last visit" or your cookie won't get saved for the next visit. I don't care for this change either. Seems they can't leave well enough alone. Every ninety days the site gets tinkered with...:(

Thanks - it's so frustrating it really is!

They put the "updates of stuff you've downloaded" direct URL link back after I complained:

And "updates since last visit" is here:

Highly recommend checking out WIndsailor. It not only has buttons to take you directly to new files, etc. but it automatically decompresses and installs downloads, and can do so in the directory of your choice if you use Addons Linker:

Have to say: I find the site is HUGELY improved.
One does sort of just dive in, and things aren't where they used to be, but spend the time looking around and you will see!
Big feature I found was filtering out FS2024 stuff.
Also: Updates have a better, fully described tab with changelog info.
I had missed many - ended in a download binge.
 
I don't think they ever had P3D? Just MSFS and X-Plane. Are you thinking of Flightsim.com?

(Of course, Flightsim.com washed its hands of all material for the moment...)
 
After a few days back I actually find this new site design to be so muddled and unintuitive and such an effort to navigate that it's cured me of my daily addiction. So I think I will hence forth just use what I have and leave .TO to other more agile minded/fingered folk...
 
I never could get their search to find a file that I know exists. So I cheat. I put the name of the product along with "MSFS" into Google and get a direct link to exactly what I'm looking for!

My only real gripe is that they put the link to their most useful feature - the scenery map - at the bottom of every page, leaving you to scroll (and scroll, and scroll) to find the link. Thankfully, I have it bookmarked:

map.flightsim.to

Flightsim.to World Explorer - Your Interactive Microsoft Flight Simulator Map

Never every managing to search successfully for anything I use the exact same search technique as you Tom - bullet proof! A sad indictment that the one really useful thing they could change (the search function!) they don't but then change virtually everything else....
