Not on my end it doesn't. They are probably experiencing some technical issues, which a lot of forums appear to be having as well. This was possibly a temporary fix?Been to the AlphaSim site, lately? Interesting...

Nothing going on over at Alphasim. Just the same problem as SOH here with the forum database. The gallery seems to be effected as well but otherwise, business as usual. The main page has been up and running through it all.

I wonder if this has anything to do with anything.
Flight 1 Partners With Alpha Simulations
Posted: Thursday, October 2, 2008 - 0:43
Flight1 is excited to announce its partnership with renowned flight simulation developers, Alpha Simulations. The first release available from Flight1 (in both download and boxed editions) is AlphaSim's acclaimed simulation of the Hawker Hunter.
The legendary Hawker Hunter is one of the most admired fighter aircraft of all time and its beautiful lines have often resulted in it being referred to as the Spitfire of the jet age. Designed by Sir Sidney Camm, an engineer whose designs span biplane to jump jet, the Hunter is a remarkable machine. The Rolls Royce Avon will propel you at Mach 0.94 at sea level, and let you climb at no less than 10,500ft/min to 'touch the face of God' at 51,000ft. Hunters were the chosen mount of the famous Black Arrows, their livery one of many in this simulation. Their 22-plane formation loop, set a record which stands to this day.
Developed by AlphaSim for FS2004 and FSX this new simulator is now available on general release. It includes subtle reflectivity, bump mapping, self-shadowing and bloom and even signs of weathering. The static realization includes the cockpit ladder engine covers and pitot tags. The speedbrake is restricted to operate only with wheels up - just as in the real Hunter. The simulation covers 7 unique variants and 8 texture sets including the Black Arrows, and the famous Swiss air force examples where the pilots were often part-time and the runways empty motorways! Looking into the cockpit the auto-animated avatar even has correct insignia on his arm patches.

Probably has nothing to do with it as this seems to be just a way for AlphaSim to sell their boxed products.
Database issues for the forum. Well kindah strange not to be able to go there. I hope they'll have it up and running again soon!

Well with Phil's inclination to go with the civilian type models I am not surprised with the Flight1 announcement. Wonder if all of the AS offerings will use the Flight1 wrapper from now on?
