Flightsim.to has changed again

[collensr]

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:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 | MSFS Mods, Add-Ons & Liveries - Flightsim.to

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:

Thanks chaps !

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.

Guess they washed their hands of P3D material. I am done with them.

 

[DennyA]

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:

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

Explore thousands of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 scenery addons, airports, and landmarks on an interactive world map. Discover, filter, and download the best MSFS scenery from the community.

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....
