Colin - The trouble in that it's impossible to be anything like realistic for this era. Even by lateish Cold War, it was all dominated by radar, SAMs and above all ECM.

And those ECM details were incredibly highly classified, because if you knew how to jam the opponent's data comms to their SAMs it was game-over.
That's particularly true of Soviet/Russian SAMs because almost all of them are centrally controlled by the engagement radar.
The analogue era ended some time ago.

Likewise for air-to-air, it all became beyond-visual-range and ECM four decades ago.

None of this can be realistically modelled in a sim, because the sim makers won't have the information.

This is why I rarely fly anything post-war. It's pure fantasy.

Along video forget about the some of the stuff, but what I thought was good about it was the scale of the operation and that someone was prepared to put it together.

Looked impressive.

Been flying DCS most of the week flying the MkIX and F-86 on the Quest 2 which runs DCS a lot better than the Index. The Quest 2 with ASW 90hz to 45hz but @2704x2736 (Index 2016x2240) and higher in game settings, it has less ghosting hardly any.
