Given this solution, do we really need more complex dots?
It's still not realistic since by using the 30/70 FOV function (who I use too ) is like looking through a tube. Your SA is too much limited.

The 30 FOV in a sim is there to give the real detail of an object but we can't see anything around us, while the 90 FOV is there to give us more SA but all the 3d objects become too small.

In real life vision skill is an improved version of these both combined.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
