What's with the new format. When I enter and go to flightsim.com, it goes to a new forum page and I can't seem to navigate to the FS9 downloads as I used to. Also asking me to sign in with my email instead of my regular username. What gives ?

Yes, they have redone the forum and the file library. The download links on my page still work, but to the old library. I don't know how long that will last, and I don't plan on changing all of the links to the new library (at least for now).
The pictures now look horrible and the full description is not available in the main file listing. It also now takes two clicks to download a file, then another click back to the main listing. Ugh...

surprised by the new format, what garbage! Trying to browse the file database is impossible. This is going to ruin Flightsim.com, people will go to Avsim instead

My Flightsim account is borked. My password is no longer recognised and attempts to reset it using the "Forgot Password" link gets no response despite multiple tries. Same thing happened with my SimOuthouse account as repeated requests for help to fix the issues go unanswered. Oh, well.

Just had a look at the new format. What on earth are they thinking. And whatever happened to the old adage "if it isn't broken, don't fix it".
I can log into it with my password etc. but strangely enough when I go to the site in my bookmarks, the old layout still opens. Hopefully that will keep going.

Sorry, but have you tried to download something? Bernard

Yes, the old home page can still be accessed and file searches conducted but a sign-in with the new, broken system is necessary to download anything.

I just triedthat alternative link and it doesn’t work as Bernard suggest. What a cluster this new site is. Not user friendly at all. I had to set up a new account as I could not figure out how to log in with my email and old password. Haven’t been back since. I did eventually figured out how to find and download KPIT 62 which I discovered I had missed somehow, so I guess if I get desperate enough for a file, perhaps I can still figure out how to get at it on Flightsim. Now, wonder what kind of cluster it is going to be to upload my upcoming sceneries.

I heard that flightsim got new owners and new management.
I am always satisfied with flightsim and have NO complaints about flightsim. Checking Flightsim website now and I still see same existing format. I do not see anything new.
As for downloading addons, I always use avsim as avsim offers download speed of 1 or 2 mb per second while flightsim offers 56kb per second.
Regards,
Aharon

So now all of my flightsim.com download links are invalid - it takes you through the process OK, but in the last step it fails. I'm very disappointed - I have to think about what to do next...

You still need to be logged to download but Flightsim.com no longer recognizes my password and will not allow me to fix the problem or log in at all. Requests for support have gone unanswered and unacknowledged.
