The home page has "Recent Uploads," "Latest Posts." and lists of all the forums with their most recent comment date.

I find this easy to use since I scroll to the forum topics of interest with ease.

 

So Forums is where I find the latest news? For example, lets just say the newest FS Traffic program gets released for MSFS. Where would I see the news article that it has been released with a short write up....like we always saw on the front page of the old site?

Ok, update - good news.

Now I was able to search the file library (download portal now) and all my files came up. Across all simulators starting with FS2000. 

Not sure if I missed this yesterday or if it is already a fix (I think so) but, in any case, thank you.

Missing:

The ability to exclude a word/words ... like "textures only".

Good question, something to ask the admins here. I don't focus on payware so I don't find this an issue.

Good luck with the new website!

Looking forward to see it finished.

Just noticed that the top tab, Popular Downloads/FSX Aircraft, takes you to FSX Jetliners instead of FSX.

Thx.

What about access to the files at "Freeware Scenery"? Everything lost and everthing a hugh mess! Under these circumstances not easy to stay civilised.

I believe it is now. I'ev clocked multiple links from here and they all worked fine.

Links yes, downloads no, of course.

A step in the right direction but still some room for improvement.

R.I.P. flightsim.com, used to be my 1st stop for flightsim news, now that's over.  Oh well, no more, heading off to msfsaddons.com and fselite.net, stormbirds.blog is good, too.

You really gave things a chance, didn't you?

Well, there are those that just don't like change, but wakeup call..... That's part of life!!

Isn't it great that you have a choice.....

Ah I see now.

Adrian, might we consider using the MSFS 2020 Screen Shots forum for all versions of FS, even if slightly renamed?

I think one location allows all users to share and visually experience the greater universe of FS.

I totally need to buy more popcorn at Sams Club. I feel like I'm in the middle of a town hall debate of diatribe nonsense.

Hmm, when I look at the number of new downloads and compare it with AVSIM, I notice a significant difference.

Is it because of that I simply can’t find that section any more, or could it be that there is a quiet unappointed "upload boycott" going on, because fs community people don’t like to be involved in a public alpha-test of an "amazing" new forum software?

I think it's a third reason: something to do with tin foil and making a hat from it.

I just visited AVSim and I haven't found anything better or clearer. And what I certainly dislike, is a site that runs scripts from near to 40 other companies to evaluate your clicks. Here a selection - they didn't fit into the window. But everybody as he or she likes.

I could swear I just heard the announcer yell "Let's get ready to rumble!!!!"

[phlyer66]

I'm getting used to the new format and like it.

Much faster download speeds too!

Old site now gone!  RIP!  Overture, curtain, lights!  This is it, we'll hit the heights!  No more rehearsing or nursing of parts, we know every part by heart!  Etc! <------- Imitation Bugs Bunny!
