MSFS Library is up!

[Andreas Stangenes 1,628]

The library basically seems to be for the 2004 and fsx oddball? I'm sorry to say, even though there are many good things about avsim, the library is totally outdated compared to the competitors.

You can wildcard search.  *.zip and you'll basically get all the library results.

Oh boy... I really tried... I wanted to upload my apparently popular Toronto Area scenery to the AVSIM library. I really really tried... I registered a separate account for the library (why separate from the forum?), I suffered through the horribly outdated interface, I overcompressed images because the library wouldn't accept image files over 200kb in size (duh!), I shortened my description and info because the interface would mash all text together without any linebreaks or paragraphs or any formatting at all (ouch!), and then after filling everything in - the max file size allwoed is only 500Mb !!! This is a joke, clearly, as many decent MSFS scenery addons (and for other sims too) are larger. Mine is just under 900Mb, but many others are over a gigabyte in size, easy. The library is just unusable at this state. It's stuck in 1996, evidently. If it's fixed - I will upload there. But most people would just give up. Compared with flightsim.to and Vortex mods websites, with their large file size limits, drag-and-drop interfaces, rich text editors, easy graphical real-time searches, ratings, comment system, messages, rolling image galleries - this library is stuck in a different era apparently. I am a web designer/developer by the way, I know what I am talking about 🙂 Looking at this thread, people even have problem seeing any files at all, let alone searching and browsing... Oh, well...

I also notices that Avsim doesn't appear in the list of sites recommended on the official MSFS website, which is either an oversight or a snub - I don't know which.

Where was the list posted. Can you please post a link

This thread is a wasted sticky. I vote to unsticky it!
