Requesting a new category
Creating a new category on Flightsim.to can help organize content and make it easier for users to find specific add-ons. However, to maintain clarity and avoid unnecessary fragmentation, there are specific guidelines to follow when requesting a new category.
When Can You Request a New Category?
A new category can be requested when there is a sufficient number of related items or uploads on Flightsim.to. Specifically:
-
At Least 5 Liveries or Similar Uploads: Before a new category can be requested, there must be at least 5 liveries or similar uploads that would belong to this new category.
How to Request a New Category
If the above criteria are met, you can request a new category by writing to Flightsim.to support and providing the following information:
- Category Name: What you propose the new category should be called.
- External Link to the Product: Provide a link to the product for which you want to create a category.
- List of At Least 5 Uploads: Include a list of at least 5 uploads that should belong in this new category.
- Justification for the New Category: Explain why this new category is necessary and how it will benefit the Flightsim.to community.
What to Do While Waiting for a New Category
While there is no specific category available for your uploads, you can use the "Other Liveries" category to upload your files. For non-livery uploads, you can use "Misc" or "Others".
Processing Your Request
Once Flightsim.to receives your request with the necessary information, it will be processed, and a new category may be created. Please note:
- Niche or Low-Demand Products: A category may not be created if it pertains to a niche product or a product that is not in high demand.
