You;re absolutely right - when you go to Evolution in the store, without comment the price is reduced by $30.I don't believe it's an upgrade per se. I think you might have to go shopping in Steam for RF 9.5S or Evo, at which point it would offer you a discounted price.
Hi RyanI'm not sure what makes you think RealFlight is no longer available on Steam, but I can assure you it is.

Trainer Edition has a much more limited feature set than our flagship product, Evolution. You are correct that it does not include the ability to import additional models.
If you're interested in upgrading to Evolution, you will see three separate purchase options its store page. Be sure to select the "Upgrade from RealFlight Trainer Edition" one to get your discount.
AI at work. Gotta love it. It answered the question, but then rambled on with details that don't pertain to the question ("multi-purpose aircraft...")A Google search with this search text "is the fms 1220 ranger in realflight evolution" returned this.
No, the FMS 1220 Ranger is not in RealFlight Evolution, but it is a multi-purpose aircraft with a realistic design and stable flight characteristics that is suitable for pilots.
