Why is an add-on or mod not available?

There are a few reasons why a file you want to download may be unavailable. In this article, we'll go over some common causes and what you can do to resolve the issue.

The uploader has deleted their mod

One possible reason for a file being unavailable is that it is no longer available on our platform. This could be due to the file being deleted by the author or uploader. On Flightsim.to, every creator can delete their mod if they wish to do so. The author also has the option to temporarily disable downloads of their files. This feature can be useful in scenarios such as when a mod becomes incompatible with the latest game version, requires updates to maintain functionality, or when the author decides to take a break from flight simming.

If this is the case, there is unfortunately nothing you can do to download the file. You might reach out to the uploader via Direct Messaging for further information.

The mod is pending approval

Another reason for a file being unavailable is that it is currently pending approval. At Flightsim.to, we prioritize the safety and integrity of our platform. As part of our efforts to maintain these standards, we conduct random checks of user uploads. This means that occasionally, a file may be temporarily removed for approval or may be pending approval. If you are experiencing this issue, please do not worry. This is a normal part of our process and your file should become available as soon as it is approved. Find more information here. Flightsim.to also removes files that violate our Upload Guidelines or Terms of Service.
