Flightsim.to: What's Going On?

Here's our summary of this week's reporting from FSElite, FSNews, HeliSimmer.com, and MSFS Addons.

 

On February 11, MSFS mods and add-on site Flightsim.to announced some changes to its platform—and the reaction was...significant. Developers of both freeware and payware content expressed concerns about terms of service that prevented file deletion and suggested a boycott

 

Some developers left the platform and at least one popular freeware-payware add-on creator was removed entirely.

 

As of February 24, the platform has released a new policy designed to address developer concerns. Flightsim.to also rolled out its new Premium service with pricing ranging from US$2-16. Read the full summary of the latest news here.

The feature is part of the HPG H145 and it does not require any external applications.

The new mobile apps come with the same set of features as the tablet, and are available for both iOS and Android.

Editor's note: per FSElite, their January review of the Honeycomb Rudder Pedals was inaccurate. We wanted to include this new link to the updated/corrected version. 

Bottom line – these pedals are great if they meet your use case, but they won’t be for everyone.
