September 17Sep 17 I really don't have a problem with websites being supported by adverts if it makes the service they provide free of charge to the customer and am happy to support that approach and do from time to time respond to the adverts shown. However flightsim.to is now going a bit over the top in that respect and is affecting user experience to the point that we may end up going elsewhere as competing services spring up. That would be a shame as it is good to be able to find nearly everything you may want in one place.I don't use any ad blockers, by the way.

It won't be the first time, such an server was hacked and serves malware.If flightsim.to will block access, fine with me but then I'm out.

September 18Sep 18 I just checked flightsim.to and the request to disable ad blockers now has an option to "Continue without supporting us" option.That should satisfy most of us.

But what I have noticed is that the "Disable your adblocker / continue without supporting us" message is popping up very regularly for me. Let's say I go there to download 3 mods... it is now popping up each time I access the pages, and then again each time I hit download. So I had 6 of these begging letters during a <5 min session there, to download 3 tiny (2Mb each) files.I use firefox with uOrigin add blocker. I've never seen an ad on AVSIM in about 10 years with this, btw.

I'm lucky to have the Creator status on flightsim.to from the early beginning. Among more than a hundred. As far as I understand the Creator program has some strong requirements, not easy to achieve or get these days. So, I'm fortunate to have a free Premium access, store coupons, discount on the product store and a monthly reward pool (few bucks based on my activity and contributions). It's a small part of the reason, for now, I'm staying with them.I would move on and search for new development opportunities; to be honest with you the winner here is fs.to not you.
