October 20, 20214 yr I was reluctant to use this site at first, but their EGSU Duxford Aerodrome got my attention. At first I was discouraged because I was having difficulty in understanding how to unzip the files and get them into the Community folder. Have finally figured that out. Have browsed their catalogue and saw not only that there are hundreds (thousands?) of sceneries and aircraft, with a very clever navigation technique, which includes graphic samples of the product. The lack of graphic sample views has been one of the limitations of sites like Avsim and Flightsim.com that have offered freeware as a sideline. (I think the value of these two sites is primarily their forums.) I have now downloaded EGKK Gatwick, EGKB Biggin Hill, Tours City (France) and La Rochelle City (France).They are all really good, and definitely worth a donation. I spent a couple of hours today browsing and have identified several more I intend to download soon.

October 20, 20214 yr Yeah it's pretty much the place to go. Gets slow on weekends with their new queue system but not really a big deal.

Why did the 'reverse reading' logos appear in MSFS 2020 and why does it seem so difficult to fix? I don't paint, so an answer 'like I'm five' would be great.

October 20, 20214 yr Just a remark: Flightsim.to is a goldmine no doubt. But they carry payware now, too. There is nothing wrong with this as such, but keep in mind several of the payware addons becoming available there have been on offer elsewhere for some time. I juggest carefully checking back if you already bought an addon elsewhere before pressing the "Buy Now" button. I made this experience myself, thus I can confirm it may happen.😕 Kind regards, Michael Intel i7-13700K / AsRock Z790 / Crucial 32 GB DDR 5 / ASUS RTX 4080OC 16GB / BeQuiet ATX 1000W / WD m.2 NVMe 2TB (System) / WD m.2 NVMe 4 TB (MSFS) / WD HDD 10 TB / XTOP+Saitek hardware panel / LG 34UM95 3440 x 1440 / HP Reverb 1 (2160x2160 per eye) / Win 11

Click the blue one left of the heart icon whenever you download something you like and you will get a notification every time there is an update.

October 20, 20214 yr If you join their Discord channel you can see all of the latest mods as they are posted in "addon postings" and "update postings" groups. One click on the heading opens up your browser on the download page, where you can preview the mod and download.
October 20, 20214 yr It may sound weird, but I like that a lot of airports use assets in community libraries and therefore the actual sizes of the files are extremely small. Payware sceneries are nice, but they take up a lot of storage space.
