If you've recently uploaded a file to Flightsim.to and noticed that your upload is still pending, don't worry! At Flightsim.to, we take the integrity and safety of our content very seriously. To prevent abuse, spam, or the distribution of malicious content, it is our duty to perform checks on the addons that are uploaded to our platform. We employ a variety of security algorithms and artificial intelligence technologies to identify which addons require additional verification. To complement this approach, we also conduct random checks to ensure thorough assessment.
While new users are typically subject to a higher probability of file verification checks due to our security algorithms, experienced creators with a history of uploads are naturally less likely to be checked. However, it's important to note that all files are still subject to random scanning and all creators are affected, regardless of user status.
Duration
The duration of the check can vary, but typically completes in less than three hours. During weekends or holiday seasons, checks might take up to 48 hours. Addons that necessitate team discussion or present uncertainty regarding their nature may prolong the verification process. However, our goal is to complete these checks within 48 hours whenever possible. Adherence to our Community Guidelines facilitates quicker completion of the verification checks.
Frequency of Checks
The frequency of manual checks also depends on the user's history. If you are new to Flightsim.to, manual checks are more common for your initial uploads. The more uploads you have, the less frequently your files will be subject to manual checks.
Please note that our security algorithms take a number of factors into account when determining which files to review, such as your upload history, whether you have other rejected files, the percentage of files that have been rejected on your account, the percentage of how many of your files have been reported, and many more. This process is fully automated.
While waiting, please ensure that your file complies with all Flightsim.to guidelines and policies. We understand that waiting for a file to be approved can be frustrating, but these checks are essential to maintaining a safe and trustworthy platform for all users. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to ensure that Flightsim.to remains a reliable and enjoyable community for flight simulation enthusiasts.
