Does anyone know if the Steam version includes the expansion?

HereForTheBeer: Ya know, I am absolutely confusing my titles. EF2000 is what I was thinking about.

awalterj: I got a chance to try out a Eurofighter military training simulator a couple years ago with real cockpit and all (supervised by 2 friendly & patient pilots from the German Luftwaffe) and thanks to having played EF2000, I didn't make a complete ass of myself. But I must admit, a simulator with full blown cockpit is totally different than playing a PC game, and I think I'd be positively lost if I had to fly the real thing. At least I know how to eject so I'd survive but the poor plane would probably not...
That must have been crazy-cool. Don't suppose they allowed you to take any photos?
My dream for GOG sims: SU27 ( SSI ), MiG Alley and European Air War...None off them still available here:(

But dammit, getting in a military sim....I hate you:)

The simulator was visited mostly by aviation fans many of whom brought their kids along and almost everyone took photos (I didn't, I only take pics when I can sit inside or stand next to a 'full version' vehicle at a flight show for example). I waited until shortly before closing time when all the families had left as I didn't want to get in line before the kids to whom the experience would mean a lot more than to me. I must admit it was pretty cool though getting my hands (and feet!) on the authentic controls. The graphics weren't anything special as this was not a game but a military sim used to train pilots. All they need is realism in the way the aircraft behaves. In fact, the graphics looked more like the old EF2000 game and not like Battlefield 4 or anything like that.

PS: The whole thing was intended as a PR event, trying to win public approval for the Eurofighter which was one of the 3 jets the Swiss government was looking into for our Air Force (the other 2 being the Saab Gripen and the Dassault Rafale).
Getting such contracts are big deals for these companies - even if the potential client is a small country so they go all out with their PR.

It's also available drm-free on Dotemu. And it was on sale there last week-end. :)
