Flightsim.to's new look......

Flightsim.to apparently has a new look. My first impression? Am not liking it. So far I have not found a page that lists new downloads. Unless you have to pay for Premium, which I ain't gonna do.. NCIf you look at the bottom of their website page, there are links to social media sites they link to. For me, at least, I will be downloading new files via their Discord channel, which is one of the links.
 
Just stumbled over it and all the clarity and sitestructure seems gone. Moreover the dark color really adds to the lack of usability.

No more updates vissible, only when you look them up etc.

If they only give you a usable overview for premium accounts that´s a poor move indeed...

For now not really happy with the result

The newly uploaded files are visible simply by scrolling down the main page (after the "social media" style section).
However, it seems there's no more way to filter the new uploads by category (aircraft, repaints, sceneries etc...). All is mixed together, which is opposite to any 'improvement' their marketing guy is trying to throw at our faces.

I'll probably sound like an old fart, but that new website really sucks. I guess the previous one was too easy and comfortable to use. Unacceptable, by today's standard. A good and modern UI should help your transit, if I understood correctly.
 
Why did they change it !? The original was clear, superbly laid out and easy to find everything. Bonkers
 
Apparently we have to create a new account to download? Could not find the log in , only a sign up. Indeed, at first blush the new site is a mess.
 
I clicked on the Discord link at the bottom of their page, which took me to a "Invite" to their Discord channel.

Then, on the left side of their Discord page, you will see a link to the "Addon-postings". NC

I didn't need to create a new account to download a livery from the new website. I agree with previous comments that the new layout is a jumbled mess, even when you use the 'menu' options down the left of the screen. We've seen 'em come and we've seen 'em go, this one is looking like another 'also-ran'.

Perhaps they brought on a few chaps from Apple and Microsoft...they are "experts" at fixing what formerly worked superbly...

Agreed...the site is more painful to check now.

Just my .02 cents.

Gents,Can we please use a bit of restraint here. I have no comment on whether or not this change is an improvement or not, but it's far from broken. It took me about 20s to locate DC-3 liveries and sort/filter by 'Recent', 'Recently Updated', 'Most Downloaded', or 'Personally Downloaded'. In fact, it took me longer to write out these three sentences. I would rank this as minor inconvenience. Steps:1) Select category of add-on from top menu bar. ('Liveries')2) Search or manually select the category of choice ('DC-3')3) Filter results as desired
 
Funny note, I tried to upload a few pictures to show steps above and it broke all the formatting / spacing in my reply. So problems can appear anywhere
 
Hey guys, slow down and look. I found everything I wanted and had been using. It just looks different. You can find it too.
 
Attempt #2, here are the steps needed to find the download of your choice:

1) Select add-on category from top menu ('Liveries')

2) Search or manually select category of choice ('DC-3)

3) Filter based on desired selection criteria ('New', 'Recently Updated', 'Most Downloads', Personally Downloaded')
