It's been some time since we last checked in with some news about the state of the union - or rather, the state of the website. Over the last few weeks we have made some changes to Flightsim.to and in the coming weeks there will be more changes that we look forward to with confidence. First of all, I would like to personally apologise for the lack of communication and information during these weeks. Staying in touch with our community is a serious concern for me personally, and we all know full well that the success of Flightsim.to depends not only on fantastic creators who upload their add-ons, liveries and mods here, but also on the community who download, use and share these add-ons on a daily basis. We want Flightsim.to to remain a community project and it is unequivocally clear that we have to rely on the voices of the community to achieve this.
However, we have been holding back on the information as we simply haven't found a suitable time to reach you with news as we have never really been fully satisfied with the changes so far. Flightsim.to strives for perfection - and perfection is something that is difficult to achieve, as you probably know. We prefer to announce changes when they have been fully planned, implemented, tested and drilled to perfection: But this is exactly what takes time. Summer is coming, we all have real lives besides Flight Simulation, and time slots we liked to have were not always available. But we are very confident that we want to do things well and conscientiously, and if it takes more time, so be it. It's time for a few words about what we've been working on over the last few days.
A few days ago, we also implemented a change that affects file downloads. While the waiting time before a download starts is nothing new, we have changed this to the effect that during the waiting time - i.e. while the countdown is running - you have to remain active on the respective browser window or browser tab. The timer would no longer count down if you switched tabs or browsed pages in between. We have received mixed feedback on this change. First of all, we'll explain what our intention was and how we saw things:
So, here's your feedback: There were some users who didn't really care and were happy to put up with these few seconds if they could download at a faster speed. For others, the "activity requirement" during the countdown was a significant problem. And admittedly: Even if it was never our intention, it was annoying. Based on your feedback, we have decided to reverse this change. If you want to be a big help to Flightsim.to, you can voluntarily leave the tab active until the timer counts down, and if you have other things to do at that moment - for example watching cute cat videos on YouTube - you can also switch between tabs.
But you can do both: Enjoy fast, easy downloads and support Flightsim.to at the same time. Based on your feedback, we will offer an optional Premium Membership in a few days for those who want to actively support Flightsim.to. No worries, we are not making any changes for non-premium users - that goes against our philosophy. Premium users can simply skip the countdowns and are directly routed through a global content delivery network to realize even faster download speeds - up to 10 times faster, to be precise, as Premium traffic is completely cut from all other traffic happening on Flightsim.to.
At the same time, Premium Members are not only supporting Flightsim.to, but also one of their favourite creators - because we will be donating a share of the price directly to a creator of their choice. We will tell you more details when the time comes!
We already announced a few months ago that we would soon offer payware add-ons as well. We are happy that more than 40 potential payware partners have already contacted us who would like to sell high-quality items on Flightsim.to. We are working on getting everything in place and we are confident that it will be ready soon.
So, if you are still reading this, you are a true fan and supporter of Flightsim.to - thank you for that! Now the summer holidays are coming up in many countries and we need a holiday too. We are actively looking for fellows to help us run and moderate the site. Specifically we are looking for: News Reporters, Video Producers and Site Moderators. Please come to our Community Discord server over here to find out how to apply.
See you then, have a good flight!
