AVSIM site update

[Sbob]

I just noticed that AVSIM has updated their software.
RIP Zipdive, it seems. This was a handy feature for checking out download contents.

Just noticed that myself, checking the screenshots included in a zip was always useful, cant really understand what they gain by dropping it

Who cares about that there?

The Forum software was updated several months ago. The File Library software, different system thus the additional sign in, was recently updated to correspond
to the new Forum software. Some older files were corrupted and removed.

Is it possible to list what is in the categories of the file software library, as we used to be able to, instead of just searching?

Not to my knowledge!

Robin, with the "new experience" stuff going on at sites like FS.com and Avsim, I've found it easier to do any FS searches using Google.
Maybe they'll fix it, eventually..

Maybe, or maybe not... that's progress?? Things should be getting easier,

In would not advise holding your breath until it happens!

To put it in perspective, I mentioned looking for an AFCAD for Buckley AFB in Colorado.
I searched the big sites using FS9, Buckley, the ICAO code, ANG, USAF, etc. and found nothing.

I ran a search in Google and found a link to FS.com in MAIW's forum.
Its a great download. You get AFCADs for multiple ANG bases plus AI planes and traffic, PLUS EVP files ( even a better RED EYE callsign than the one I hacked out ).

So, yes, you're both right. It shouldn't be this tough.

Found Heather's Travel Air in Avsim, nothing in FlightSim. Conclusion: we have to deal with all libraries available in a way or another, and as they are. Remember 2014 ...
