I think you are refering to 61.58, a PIC proficiency check for an aircraft that requires more than one pilot or is turbo-jet powered. 61.58 says within the last 12 months you must have a PC in an aircraft requiring more than one pilot and within the last 24 months you must have a PC in that type aircraft. So if you are flying a Lear and Gulfstream you could have a PC in one type and the next year in the other type.
It goes on to say the PC must be given by an authorized instructor, which means either a CFI with that type rating or a person on staff at a 142 school approved to give the check. Since you are saying sim, you are talking about a 142 school. As jr51xx said, if you can find a 142 school in Europe (or anywhere), you are covered.
