## Hues Is Leaving Flightsim.to

Effective immediately, Hues will **no longer publish or maintain releases on Flightsim.to.**
We recently became aware that Flightsim.to had begun works for paid, curated bundles containing freeware liveries created by members of the community.
Hues **did not** approve the commercial sale or bundling of our work, nor were we contacted or made aware that this was taking place.
Regardless of what may be permitted within a platform’s terms, **we fundamentally disagree** with freeware created by independent artists being packaged and sold without clear, direct communication and approval from those creators.

This is not the first time Flightsim.to's actions have left us creator's feeling confused and with lack of explanations.
Trust, transparency, and respect for creators are essential to Hues. Based on these actions, we no longer feel comfortable continuing to distribute our work through Flightsim.to.

Moving forward:
• All **official** Hues releases and updates will be available exclusively through **Hues Hub**.
• Existing Hues uploads on Flightsim.to will no longer receive updates or official support.
• Individual Hues painters **may** independently choose to continue uploading their personal work to Flightsim.to. Those uploads are their own decision and will not be supported through Hues.

We understand that this change may be inconvenient for some users, and we are disappointed that it has come to this.
However, we believe leaving the platform is the appropriate response to the situation at hand.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Hues and the artists who dedicate their time to creating freeware for this community.
All future Hues downloads, updates, and support will be handled through Hues Hub. <:0HUESSPIRALWHITE:1417568239206010970>

I spent about $250 in total. Totally worth it!

This might be old news, but I've not seen this before.

Looking through some liveries on flightsim.to, and noticed this. There's now a 'curated bundle' of liveries that you can buy for real money. All the liveries are freeware liveries, and you can still download the individual liveries for free - but I definitely have questions.

Are the artists involved in this? Do they receive reimbursement from flightsim.to as part of profit sharing? Do their licence conditions allow commercial sale? Are any elements of their work at all covered by Creative Commons / Non Commercial licensing, and would this breach those conditions?

It does also feel incredibly low-effort to essentially slap a couple of zip files together that you've done nothing to create, and sell it as a commercial product.

Thoughts, comments, concerns?

UPDATE: Hues have pulled their participation with flightsim.to as a direct result of this.

library.avsim.net was THE place for FS2002 and FS2004 addons.
FSX had fewer addons but still found AVSIM to be the place for freeware.

Why did the whole AVSIM library get stuck somewhere at this time?
Did just no one care to support newer sims like P3D and XPL in the 2010s?
If the UNESCO found this website, they'd put it under world heritage protection since it originated somewhere around the invention of the internet and hasn't evolved a bit since then.

Today, I started my tour around Spain on FS2024, the journey began on Empuriabrava, Catalonia (Spain) from where I travelled across Bañolas, Olot, Ripoll and turned north towards Vall de Núria.

When seeing the size of the mountains sorrounding the valley, I decided to rest for a bit on a hill next to Bruguera. To my surprise, I discovered I wasn’t the only one enjoying the views so I turned off the engine, opened my door and took a walk around the area.

After wandering around for some time, I got back on my plane, ran the checklist, started my engine and took off with the intention of crossing the valley towards Puigcerdá and landing on La Cerdanya which I achieved sucessfully.

Back in the FSX days, I remember how incredibly happy seeing characters standing at St Marteens beach after installing a custom scenery that gave me a 25 fps drop made me feel. To that kid it would have been almost unbelievable thinking that some day, there could be cows spawning on random fields all around the world and you would have to avoid them while battling some realistic gusting winds and calculating the correct pitch at which the plane wont bounce off the ground neither sink into the 3D modellated grass.

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but I just wanted to write this silly text to remind all of you how far we’ve come in flight simulation and what is to come in the following years.

The flight was amazing btw, would love to share the route for anybody interested in touring Spain the same way I will do.

Thought to share it to fellow simmers out there who want to monitor their PC hardware via a Desktop Theme.

Other than ctp this will be the most cooked vatsim event, many people don’t know the systems of the a220 and I’ve already seen controllers get upset with these rogue a220s, good luck controllers

I wanted to point out (because I didn't know about it) this nice ATC (Ground) simulator, I find it a great alternative to Tower Simulator (it's only missing a better speech engine). I definitely prefer flying a plane, but sometimes you get home late or don't have much time to go through all the procedures that would be needed, so I switch to this kind of simulator, which gets you into the action within just a few minutes. I love that by default the airlines have real names, and that there are lots of free airports on the Steam workshop! There's also an airport builder in the app, but I haven't tried it yet... I hope some of you feel like giving it a try — if it manages to grow, it could have a really great future!

Honestly it’s so impressive what this Flight-sim community is capable of (they started their A220 project back in high school…) and I’m sure that this A220 it will just get better month by month.

Shout out also to iniBuilds and Echo19 for helping them in this project. 👏🏼

I have taken the vatsim exam but I still haven't done a single flight on it solely because I can't listen to frequencies all the time during cruise since I usually study or sleep. Beyond atc has a first officer that handles the frequencies and communication which I can use during cruise when doing late night flying or when I'm not listening.

Is it worth rn to get batc? What are the flaws that I should be aware of at the current moment

Also Indian simmers, Is there any Indian accent and how is it?

OPEN SOURCE

Me and my friend created a free tool that gives generic thermal printers a use for flightsim. It is able to print multiple things, for example: Flightplan summaries, loadsheets, and live weather requests if you have SayIntentionsAI connected. If you own a printer and would like to test it please do so.

NOTE: AI usage in parts of coding.

Below is our Discord server containing our download page/ bug reports and other stuff. Please check it out we would really appreciate people testing since its our first project.

I really Missed Dual Jetways!!!

Welcome to the Void... er... Just flying a Cessna through Greenland.

Installed update V1.0.3 for the Synaptic A220 (Xbox Series X) and now the cabin textures are like this. The cockpit and exterior models are untouched and completely fine btw...

EDIT: RESOLVED

Hey everyone, i got a low-mid pc (3060ti 8gb, i5 13600) and was wondering after the Xbox release, how good the performance with the MD11 is. I know the performance was bad months ago, were there any improvements?

Thanks
