    The new and upgraded AVSIM changed your username if it was not the same as your Display Name. When you logon, use your Display Name. Members who have problems signing into AVSIM will be locked out after three (3) failed attempts. We usually reset the locked accounts within 24 hours but, members having issues signing in should contact us (click on the 'Contact Us' Tab above) and tell us you are having problems signing in. We fully understand some members will forget their password and, when using the 'forgot password' option, they will have problems getting the password as the e-mail address they used to sign up is no longer in use. We can fix these issues via the…

    Members can change their e-mail address at any time via their respective profile. If, for any reason, the change is unsuccessful, please contact us using the form in the "Contact Us" menu above and we will assist. Many members have not signed on for several months or years and their password is no longer valid. Our "forgot password" feature will send a new password to your registered e-mail address and, if not received immediately, your registered e-mail address is probably no longer valid. Just contact us and we will change your password and/or e-mail address for you so you can get logged on again as quickly as possible. Please do not set up a new account if…

  3. When you create a new account, a validation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address used in your registration. We have seen many cases where the e-mail provider erroneously places the validation e-mail into the users junk/spam mail folder so please check that folder first for the validation e-mail. The validation e-mail was definitely sent. Our system does not make mistakes. The validation e-mail is either in your junk mail folder or you accidentally misspelled your e-mail address. In this case, contact us using the form under the "Contact Us" tab above and ask for assistance. Please validate your account as soon as possible as new accounts that have not …

    Members can change their password via their respective profile when logged on. Please keep your password in a safe place that you can go to in the event you forgot your password. If you cannot logon, you can use our "forgot password" feature when signing/logging on. A new password will be immediately sent to your registered e-mail address so make sure you keep your e-mail address up-to-date. If you do not receive the new password immediately (within 10-15 minutes), check your spam or junk mail folder for the e-mail. If it is not in your spam or junk mail folder, then contact us via the form in the "Contact Us" menu above and indicate you have checked your spam a…

    Members and potential members are reminded that the AVSIM Terms of Service (ToS) do not allow for multiple accounts (see the AVSIM ToS, link located under Forums menu). If a multiple account is discovered, it will be merged with the oldest account or, in some cases deleted (i.e., duplicate accounts found while validating or the duplicate account was never used and there are no posts). You will not be notified of the action taken in most cases as we do not have the manpower to provide the notification. Current members can send me a PM or use the form in the "Contact Us" menu above if they know they have a duplicate account and want to have the accounts merged. …

    Hi, I didn't receive mail notifications on topics I subscribed to since July 2024. I tried several measures, including changing mail address, was even in contact with @Bob Scott who told me at a point about a software/configuration change, but nothing did help. I was not banned, I could mail, and I received notifications from other fora like the MSFS official fora and ORBX, just not AVSIM. I finally lost interest in AVSIM and - for some more reasons - in flight simulation in general. Now, out of a sudden, I keep getting mail notifications again starting January 25. This message is to i) Inform those responsible that the measure they obviously took, ha…

    Hi, I can't sign in from my Smartphome, because the "Existing User Sign In" is hidden by a Google ad, no matter if I use Google or Firefox Browser. Any way to remove this ads on the upper side ? Mike EDIT : Please disregard, solved by installing Adblocker.

    Well.... Woke up this morning and suddenly unable to reach Avsim from any computer or tablet in the house. All sorts of cache clearing, dns tomfoolery and etc proved futile, and now wondering if I am now part of some blocked ip range. Not wanting to spend all day fiddling with it, I dropped the subject. A few minutes ago, I joined some free, probably fly by night vpn and got through just fine, though still unable to access the site in any other way. Any suggestions?

On my profile I can read -inactive member-. I´m able to login to both the forum and the download library but can´t post at all. I already tried your contact us form many times with no answer. My original user name is Charlie_TJ Can you please help? Thanks!

    I'm having trouble logging in. Each time I try it doesn't recognise my password or user name, which one is the problem I'm not sure. I then request a lost password email which arrives OK, then I create another password, log in OK but the next time I use it, it won't let me in. An error message flashes up on the screen and then disappears so I have to request a new password email again. I've done this about 5 times since yesterday!!! I'm using either an iPad or iMac. Can you help please? Regards Colonel25

    Having an unusual problem: I need to update my signature; so I go into my user file, select ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then select SIGNATURE, the display image starts vibrating very rapidly. So I have not been able to select anything to modify once I select SIGNATURE. I am able to select any of the other menu selections in my ACCOUNT SETTINGS without getting this problem. Any suggestions what might be the problem?

    Hi guys, I've been forced to start a new account as it has been impossible to log into my original account, I'm fully aware of the rules but i don't see any other way out. Normally i log in via facebook but i now receive the following error: App not set up: This app is still in development mode, and you don't have access to it. Switch to a registered test user or ask an app admin for permissions. Tried looking into this but have no idea why it's started doing this, as far as i know my facebook account is active and don't know about a development mode?

    Hello, Prior to today 21.5.2018 I was known as Richard Welsh b.21.2.37 here on Avsim with the email address richard(DOT)welsh(AT)btinternet(DOT)com which I should have changed a long time ago but due to age and other excuses I failed to do so and ask forgiveness. This anomaly occurred due to my noticing that on 3.5.18 I made a donation to Avsim item No. 134519 $20 via Paypal which was not acknowledged by Avsim. May I suggest that my previous identity both name and email be erased and substituted with Rickie Welsh and richardwelsh21(AT)gmail(DOT)com. I sincerely hope this mail is understood and thank you for your understanding for the situation. Rickie Welsh.
