Don't miss this one, and many others!
Wonder how long this "Sale" will last, and how many folk will open their wallets for it?
Maybe AI produced..

I'm wondering whether they're reacting to the recently arrived competition: Hangar Addons ...

:D

I tried the arithmetic every which way: I could not get to 25% from the "Sale" price to the "original", or even vice versa.
Maybe they did what everyone else does: put UP the price, then announce a "Sale"

Perhaps if they just started paying us direct?

Hmmmm ... ORBX has it at US$16.19. 25% off that would bring it to US$12.14. Clearly some gouging going on!

The whole of the Flightsim.to store is infected with this pricing gibberish.

A while back, I was in the supermarket to get a 400gm jar of something I usually buy, and I noticed that right beside them were 250gm jars on special, so I grabbed two of them for less than the price of the 400gm one :wub:

I have raised the issue with Flightsim.to. They asked for screenshots, which I provided. It seems odd that it has been like this for so long.

Goodonya.
I cannot even figure out how to look for a specific file on that site, let alone actually communicate with it.

Does the search field (in the header menu, top right) not work for you? You can then filter the results in the L.H. pane.

I'm still hoping that Hangar Addons grows in popularity ...

You'd think so, wouldn't you?
My weapon of choice is Chrome, you can have a conversation with it, very 21st Century.
And the result is just so much better in every respect.
Like this, I type:
Adamski msfs
and get
"Adamski" (often posting as Adamski_NZ or simply Adam) is a prominent community member, screenshot artist, and flight simulation enthusiast within the New Zealand Flight Sim community.

and will continue to list, if allowed:
  • Community Freeware & Custom Packs
  • High-Quality Screenshots & Content Showcases
  • Aircraft & Addon Testing
and probably could get to his BMI if pushed.

No clumsy "Search Term" hit or miss for me... :radar:

LOL! That's one of the reasons I avoid Chrome like the plague. It sends way too much back to the Google data centres.
