Pretty much just like when you're using Oculus. The fights seem a little like slo-mo.
Flight Leader: "Bogeys at 2 o'clock!"
Wingman: "Roger, It's 1:30 now, what do I do 'til then?"

Those look like Yak trainers (circa 1970s) like Yak-50/52's. Which explains why they are slower ( http://50-is-the-new-30.blogspot.com/2010/08/flying-in-frostys-yak-52.html )

sigh Yak-3 joyrides... near me... dat price  :(
