HoratioWondersocks Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Hello All I like the look of the new site.......but I am finding it very slow and sluggish to navigate through. It may be my cheap and cheerful tablet(although I had no problems with the old site) Hopefully things will improve with time as possible glitches etc become sorted out. Good luck to you Nels. And thanks for your time ànd efforts with Flightsim.com Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derekv Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I love the new site, but I would like to see an option to select complete aircraft like on the old website, so you know if you are downloading a complete aircraft or just the textures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked same question in original tread concerning new site. One answer either here or there will work. This is coming together nicely, really liking the new format.

I still remember when we didn't have that feature, it was added due to user demand and proved very popular. Hopefully this new software will support it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhrogPhlyer Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Thanks Nels for the update. Slow and steady wins the race (and in this case the best flight sim site and community on the web).

beroun Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hi all and yes getting used to the new site. In my case speed does not seem to be an issue. BUT! Really, would like to see the Latest Uploads listed, showing the newest one on top. Always looked at it first in old site. The Hot Files are OK but list the uploads by the number of downloads, not by the dates uploaded. Or maybe I am missing something? Peter Bendl ex.

No real worries though. Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leuen Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 You ask us to go through every subcategory. Why other sites are able to show the newest uploads in one and unique list? Bernard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAD1 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Oh, wow, a new site! First seen today Fri Jan 27, a bit of a shock! Been offline re FlightSim since Xmas, busy buying a new house. Will take time to get used to it (and like most things, just makes me feel even older!). Best wishes Nels, as others have said, time to take it a little easier.

Cricket29 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Nice looking website. I would like to see the option to select COMPLETE AIRCRAFT in each aircraft category as mentioned before by others. I would also like to see the PANEL CONFIGURATION FILE to make sure there is a VC before downloading like before with the older site. And the ability to view new downloads as before. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnuss Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Just a note to compliment the Admin folks: They really do listen to us. I just discovered that they have split the forums to a separate page so that we can access new if we wish but can also go direct to the forums. Great Job Admins! Larry N.

Cricket29 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Eventually, will we be able to see the entire aircraft in the picture of the aircraft download file and not just the mid section of the aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket29 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Please forgive me and disregard my last entry. I found how to view the entire aircraft. I just need to be patient and explore the site more thoroughly. I'm actually liking this site more and more each time I visit. Thanks for all your hard work.

hjonesky Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I am grateful for all the work you have put into the site. Things change and upgrades must be made. There seem to be a lot of comments on the search and I'm struggling with that too. All I can ask is that you put some of the suggestions on your undoubtedly long to-do list. Some features I've been looking for- The ability to locate aircraft from the original author Search results which give complete description, file name, author, creation date, etc compared to snippets of search terms Search results that return only aircraft/scenery/panles as opposed to anything with the search terms (I have seen how the drill down works but it's still not easy) Thanks again for your hard work!

ColR1948 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I too would like to see if model is included in the downloads section, I like the new look by the way, some ppl don't like change but you soon get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColR1948 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A gentle nudge on my avove post about notice of if model is included in the download. In some of the text it is hard to say if it is just textures or model as well, in some cases I downloaded only to find no model. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I agree; a simple notification of "complete aircraft" or "repaint"; and if a repaint, a link the the relevant aircraft would be nice (I've often d/l'd an aircraft simply because i found an attractive livery for it).
