The site wouldn’t accept my password, so a new account was necessary.

I think in time we will all adapt to the new arrangements but at the moment it looks a bit unfinished. For instance I have "bookmarked" FS2004 files, which is the only place I will generally be looking, but that page says "No files in this category yet" although they are all present in the sub-categories.
It would have helped to have some warning of the changes, I notice that some comments I have posted (presumably after the switch date) in the old forum have not been carried over to the new one.
But I'm sure we will get used to it in time and later think nothing of it. Personally I felt the downloads area did look extremely dated against competing services. If it is under new management, I hope the ethics are better - years ago when I regularly uploaded files to AVSIM, they would all intriguingly appear at Flightsim.com within days. It saved me a bit of work, anyway.
Best regards,
John

So I decided to take a chance and ask them what the process was for getting my uploads associated with my account. Adrian K, an admin, responded pretty quickly and said he could associate my uploads if I gave him my name. He could do a search and then associate them. Sure enough a few hours latter I get a message saying it was done. Now any uploads that contained my name is associated with my account including a few that had Von in them that had nothing to do with me. Also an upload can only have one owner so projects Ken and I worked on but Ken was primary still ended up with me so still have some issues to work out .
Tom, I would assume they could also do this for all your archives. Having them associated to your account gives you full control over updates, pictures etc… but may take a few passes to get it right.
I spent some time with the site yesterday and am getting a little more comfortable with it but it is not very intuitive, you have to work at it to figure it out unlike most other Flightsim sites. Hopefully it will improve over time

I have started the process to change the links to the new library, I’ll do a few pages each day. I’ve done the cv-580 and AI Aircraft pages so far. As I do that I am sending a message to Adrian with a list of files to change to my account.

They’ve transferred 3 files of mine so far, but I’ve requested more than that. You can see what files they’ve done by clicking your account name in the upper left and choosing Profile.

You're right, it's incredibly fast.
The search is a little clunky, but hopefully they iron out the issues. Seems okay to me.

Keyword: Freeware Scenery. All FlightSim entries are now invalid.
I find it more and more difficult to remain indulgent towards those in charge!

Old saying:
"If it works, change it."
Once again, thank you Tom for all your work, and once again setting up all the new links...

I had no trouble setting up a new login using my email address and existing password, but I have to login twice. Still roaming around trying to learn the new software.

I've been having to log in twice as well.
Been setting up some new bank accounts, 3 to be exact, all with different usernames and passwords. In the confusion, when logging in to Flighjtsim.com this morning, I discovered I couldn't remember my password. Hit the "Forgot Password" button and was directed to fill in my email and hit the reset password button which I did. Had to go to my email to get the verification that was sent. On THAT page had to fill in my email again and hit the reset password button and was sent back to the opening page of Flightsim. This began a vicious circle of the same thing over and over. If I try to re-sign in from scratch, it won't allow me as it says the email address is already in use.
So basically I can no longer access the site. Nor can I find a way to get to intoany kind of support for help..
Can anyone help ?
