Volhov and Neva complexes simulation.

I posted a thread about this over on the tanksim board, as they are well... land based systems. OTOH their purpose is to deny airspace to hostile aircraft, so I'm reposting here to catch some of those who don't follow the land board.

Simulation of S75M3 Volhoz (SA2E Guideline) and S125M1 (SA3B Goa) surface to air complexes - IADS, local search radar, tracking radar, launch systems and reloads.

No 3d world, so no optical channel, graphics requires a fixed resolution of 1280*1024, so may not work with some LCD panels or (very) old CRT.

Currently a free download, so worth a look if only for giggles.

The youtube videos are good for basic use of the system (S75 only so far), and are slightly easier to understand than the manual (mostly due to there being a lot of submodes, switch functions and other stuff scattered over the 3-4 control panels).
I've got to the point where I can reliably splash two aircraft from a multi-plane formation in two engagements, regardless of altitude, speed or jamming with the IADS functioning, and one or two with manual search and designation of targets. Running out of ready to fire missiles is a big problem, as you only have two 'engagements' worth of missiles in an S75 battalion ready to fire, and another two on reload trucks (3 missiles per target). The S125 is slightly better, with 8 'engagements' worth on the 4 quad firing vehicles, and a similar number on the reload trucks (2 missiles per target).
Crew workload is fairly high, but made much less so with the use of the 1980's addition of an IADS for missile/radar cueing.
