I flew the RF-4C for the USAF, 1971-1976. The creator of this animation probably saw a photo of an RF-4C cockpit and assumed those were both radar screens. Wrong! The one on the left was radar, forward looking and also had terrain following guidance for low level at night, down to 250' above ground. But the one on the right is an optical VIEWFINDER, you could see the ground right below you thru it! And it had 'traveling grid' to match camera speed with ground movement. Nice!
Granted there was an error, but I'm just promoting this model for a flight simulator. Yeah i know the inaccuracy, my father worked on the RF-4s in the 70's...
2 radar screens with 360deg sweep?!? :O

I'm currently flying an RF-4C in the ODS campaign for WOE. Somewhere, someone fixed the error.
Incredible aircraft!
