Hi all,

I’m writing this with a heavy heart:
Flight-Sim.org is shutting down and the entire website including all uploaded files will be deleted on December 31, 2025. The server contract has been cancelled, and unless we act now, Filebase, forum posts, screenshots, descriptions, comments - everything - will disappear and will be lost forever.

Flight-Sim.org has been the main and biggest addon website for repaints, sceneries, tools and tutorials. If you have uploads there, please back up your files immediately. We likely can’t save the original site and infrastructure anymore, so focus on backups, reuploads and archiving.

I've been in contact with Jens (higgy), the site’s founder, and he has confirmed it himself.

Important: a full “mirror” of all files isn’t realistic because each upload is copyrighted by its creator. The only reliable way for content to survive is that authors re-upload their own work (or explicitly give permission).

Good news: the Filebase pages can now be saved by the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, Jens has fixed the Terms-of-Use redirect! You can save and preserve your addon pages (descriptions + images) here https://web.archive.org/save. I’m currently archiving my own pages and downloading my uploads.

Please take this seriously – we have less than 2 weeks left.

• Let others know – many creators don’t even know the site is shutting down!
• Reupload your work somewhere safe (Google Drive, Onedrive, etc.)

Thanks

Thank you to Jens for hosting this amazing site for so long.
But now it’s up to us to make sure the Aerofly community’s work isn’t lost and forgotten.

I feel better now (paint it for 1h)

I can do much better, I am a master of Photoshop.

What do you think?

Quote from Tomfa

MSFS is besides the king of bugs, and I know what I'm talking about.

What kind of bugs do you have there? I don't have any besides the terrible helicopter and default aircraft physics.

Do you know the FSR 3 frame gen mod and Lossless Scaling frame generation program?

Quote from FlyingDylan

I asked him, but it's been a while since he played the game he doesn't remember

Here you can clearly see that the aircraft converter made previews and everything. Have you seen and tried it?

I don't remember if I published this video or not, I uploaded it at July 3rd, 2022. One day after that at July 4th, the AFS4 was released. I think I canceled the video because I thought everything, like the aircraft converter program, was going to change and that then the official paint kit would be released.
2 years seem to have passed and looks like nothing have changed. The downloads section in this forum seems to have been removed entirely.

Recently, I did some liveries for MSFS with Blender and Photoshop and I was blown away what kind of quality I can achieve with 8192x8192 textures and vector graphics logos. For example the entire vertical stabilizer (tail) is one 8192x8192 texture. And MSFS uses open-source .dds files which is very easy to edit and modify.

So sad to see Aerofly like this

The new MSFS frame generation mods and programs double or triple the framerate.

Anyone who has made Boeing 777 livery, please provide me with the method of drawing Boeing 777 livery. Or you can send a picture of the front painting before conversion, thank you

Hey there! Here I can send my livery files before the conversion, you are welcome!

Hello, I've played Aerofly FS 4 for about an hour now and I have got to say: I love it!

But an aspect of the sim left me wondering: is it possible to ever get better looking sky textures? Especially during sunset/sunrise, IMO a sunset that's less pink-ish would make the game instantly look 10x better than it already does..

You can try ReShade!

Quote from Overloaded

Has anyone got a colour adjustment that makes the 737 watchable at night? All I can get is shades of mud, I have used the cockpit lights.

Download reshade!

Go to fscloudport.com select help and it lists the admins email. Otherwise find Phil through https://authentikit.org/ and explain you would like an fscloudport account

Thanks

Quote from Pilot boy

I don't know. Ask Spit40

I would, BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE, have a look:

Quote from TomB

One reason is certainly that one knows who has built a particular airport because that one is then kind of occupied and noone else can do it or change it.

What is the solution then? That no one can create airports?

Quote from Pilot boy

You only need an account if you want to build airports.

WHY???

Quote from Enzo A380

How you added runways in the fscloudport airports?

How do you even access fscloudport?

It isn't free and it needs account and password.

Quote from AOB

As an owner of the other sim

What do you think about X-Plane 11?

Quote from Smberger4619

I am trying to create airports on FSCloudPort but I do not have access. Instructions state to come on this forum and start a conversation with Spit40. Spit40 as too many conversations open so I can not communicate with him on this forum. Would someone who can communicate with him ask him to contact me or add my account to FSCloudport steamid and account here are smberger4619.

I also don't understand why it is like that. Why you have to make an account? He should open up the Fscloudport for free for everyone. What do you think?

Quote from pryerlee

I want to know how we can do this and map images too, any help would be appreciated.

You can check out this thread and try it Aeroscenery/Geoconvert option to export .ttc textures to display properly on Android platform

I tried it, but nothing worked and no one helped me

Quote from AOB

Any chance of getting ORBX back on board with the upcoming FS4 release? Maybe send them an evaluation copy or something like that. Having ORBX support adds to the credentials of any sim.

I agree! But I'm afraid that ORBX is busy right now with MSFS 2020

Quote from FrankLFRS

It is one of the controllers natively supported by all Apple devices.

So are you just buying it because Apple supports it? Do you have actually no real reason or need for that?

Quote from FrankLFRS

I don’t play games

Why you need PS5 controller then?

Quote from FrankLFRS

To have something more wearable and also useful for other things. If I could I would have made without.

Do you mean you want to play games on a mac?

Quote from Jet-Pack (IPACS)

I expect there will be new SDK Tools and new converters but I can't promise that yet.

I'm looking forward to it!

I hope there will be SDK tools with much better graphical user interface, for example X-Plane has World Editor and I really like that.

In addition, Blender and SketchUp plugins would be very much needed. Also, I hope we don't have to use coding and plain text editors to make scenery, because these are very confusing and primitive.
