HereForTheBeer: That must have been crazy-cool. Don't suppose they allowed you to take any photos?
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.
