May 11, 20233 yr Anyway, I've just tried to update some freeware of flightsim.to and I get a message saying Turn of your Adblocker. Fine I look at adblocker plus and see that its already set to allow adds in flightsim.to. I then look at the fine print and apparently they want me to scourer to find out whats interfering with their website and suggesting I use another browwer other than Firefox which I've used for years. Not worth the effort. Bye bye. What the main alternative to flightsim.to for MSFS Freeware?

May 11, 20233 yr I stopped using Firefox ages ago and just went back to Edge, which pretty much does everything now and pretty well. Does the Avsim Library still get used ?

May 11, 20233 yr There is no alternative to Flightsim.to, at least in the capacity that it serves. Maybe, just deal with the minimal ads and enjoy lots of really good and free content?

Some of the ads are pretty irritating I must admit.

The one thing I like about Edge is its ability to save web pages as you see it into .mhtml files. Copies everything on the webpage to your local drive. Reminds me of 'spider' programs. Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space. Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).
May 11, 20233 yr I use Edge with Addblocker off for this particular site. No problem. As I can see, none of the old freeware libraries (FS.com, Avsim etc.) have caught up with the MSFS freeware explosion, for some reasons.

May 11, 20233 yr I use Firefox with addblocker and switched addblocker of for flightsim.to. But if you are done with it you're done and that's your choice. I9-14900K, Gigabyte B760 Aorus Elite AX, RTX 4080, 32 ram.1 tb nvme M.2 SSD, MSFS 2020 on 2 tb nvme m.2 SSD
May 11, 20233 yr They have ads there ? Didn't even know. I use Edge with Ad Nauseam for most my surfing. Edited May 11, 20233 yr by darshonaut my African sceneries for MSFS : https://darshonaut.blogspot.com/p/msfs-2020.html

May 11, 20233 yr You want another website because you can not undermin its financing method with ads? Have fun @ other ad infested sites with less content.

May 11, 20233 yr Some people want everything for free. The ads are there to finance the webserver etc etc. MSI Tomahawk Z790, I7-13700K, DDR5 6000mhz, MSI 4090, 3x SSD 980 PRO, Corsair 360 Liguid CPU cooler, Corsair H1200V2 power.

I'm a Web Developer in RL and can tell you that hosting a popular/busy site (with correspondingly large file storage) can get *very* expensive. I really hate advertising - and am old enough to remember when it didn't permeate every aspect of our lives but, in this case, I'm happy to put up with them because the site is well organised, easy to use - and (of course) has lots of MSFS goodies!
