As an aside and a little light relief, the most fun to be had in the BVR combat sims is in the pre-trial testing of the software/dataset/modelling. Instead of paying for an entire team of frontline pilots to fly the sims, the scientists and programmers that do the clever numbers fly the sims along with a few pilots. While the boffins had a very limited knowledge of combat tactics, radar and aircraft handling, etc, they could often be unbeatable if they go, say, 4v4 against the pilots. Their manoeuvre based on their knowledge of the modelling and missile performance data (kinematic and guidance) beats the pilots' realistic tactics.
