Skipping this site until they revert back. What a mess.

Welp! Looks like it's your final goodbye!🤣

Are there any other sites with addons for MSFS, cause Flightsim.to is a total mess and I honestly DISLIKE it (I don't know if the h... word is allowed in here) since the new design, and unfortunately they don't have any plans of reverting to the old one.

Nothing that matches the volume and quality of what's on .to unfortunately. For as bad as the front end is, the library and content hosting side is really nice.

In hindsight they didn't bother to back the old one up and just want to make everyone accept the new bad layout.

As a creator, I don't like it. It's much more convoluted and difficult. What used to take one or two clicks now takes several more, and it's more difficult to find things. I wasn't a big fan of FS.to's previous iteration, but at least it was concise and straightforward. With the new site, it feels as if there is too much information on each page. They were so busy wondering if they could, they never stopped to ask if they should. Nevermind the fact that us creators no longer can upload multiple files (which is possible on other sites) and the new site has broken several large and popular addon packages.

FS.to has a tendency to try to reinvent the wheel for anything and everything (and often screws over us creators). While I appreciate the forward thinking, if it isn't broken, don't fix it, as some have already said. At this point, I'd prefer if FS.to just emulated what every other forum or download site template has. These redesigns and constant changes every other month are cumbersome and frustrating. If there was an alternative that could match the audience and support of FS.to, I'd definitely switch; however, we don't have any meaningful alternatives with the same reach and audience, so we have to play with the cards we're dealt with.

I've been "trying out" all the FS.to options, pages, procedures and now am pretty comfortable and happy with the new site.

It is very  different than the old one, and as many have said, is a little more convoluted and maybe difficult to use.  But, now that I've invested the time to learn how it all connects and interacts - I like it!  

I would still prefer the old FS.to but am pretty sure the new site will work just fine for me.

The biggest issue for me is "too much information on one page" as others have said.

Probably because they don't recognize a good joke when they see one. 😄

Sorry to those who like it, but I now have to go through loads of aircraft liveries and coffee cups

I guess you don't like house blend coffee. 🙂 

Lots of virtual coffee cups on screens. This cup on a 27-in screen is way way bigger than the real thing. I wonder how that coffee cup show on larger screens.

I went at it with an open mind and took my time to figure out what is where and where is what. Nobody likes change, especially when you get so content with how things are. Give it a week or two with the new website and we'll all be muscle memory clicking around in it like we were in the previous version. Some things I do like about it is the dark theme, I'm a sucker for those. The My Downloads page now has integrated the what used to be Mod Manager I believe it was, and what needs to be updated all in to one section so that is cool. You can search your downloads now which I don't believe being able to do that before? Correct me if I'm wrong.

But anyhow, I know when us simmers get an unexpected change in our world we often grab our pitchforks and torches without a second thought. Give it time, things will be okay.
