This is an expansion: you still need to buy IL-2: Forgotten Battles. That being said, this appears to enhance the original FB; the graphics appear to be better and the AI (friendly as well as enemy) sharper. I've had pilot training and find this flight sim to have an accurate feel.
Your Eastern Front pilot careers now include French (Normandie sqdn), Romanian and Polish pilots, complete with their languages chattering on your radio during missions; same for Quick Missions, where, for instance, you can fly the Romanian IAR80 fighter to see how it performs, not simply fight it as a Soviet pilot. Same for assorted Italian and British aircraft that fought on the Eastern Front, including Fiat and Gladiator biplanes, which you can fly. Cockpits seem to be unique to each plane, not generic.
The FB: AEP expansion throws in a Normandy campaign (maps, careers) and even some Pacific stuff, though there the aircraft are limited (Japanese are limited to 2 models each of the Ki-84 and Zero fighter). It also includes exotica like the YP-80 jet and German (prototype, never flown) Go229 flying wing, so you now have a game that includes biplane fighters and jets, which covers the rapid progress of flight 1939-45 and, even if somewhat anacronistic in an Eastern Front sim, will still save you the price of some of the other flight sims and allow you more flight cross-training.
Still, if all you want is an improvement on a great flight sim -- Forgotten Battles -- this will add value and lifespan to it. If you're new to it and are interested in a realistic flight sim, get FB, get the AEP, and go to it. Disclaimers: You'll need strong computer speed and graphics, and I also recommend flight pedals (the CH model is a good one) to go with your joystick.
