Buyer beware the down load version does not come with mid air refuelling or the British C-130 air base seen in the video. I recommend buying the CD version which has this features for a couple of more euros you will get a lot more value for you Euros.
This aside this is an amazing aircraft which you will find hard not to want to fly all the time.
