Help in setting up a Dutch/Russian scenario

Hi Forumites,

Just wondering what the place is for questions like the following?

I am building a small fictional scenario (air intercept)set in/around Dutch airspace. Trying to get things as right as possible; so I added the Air Operations and Control Station from which Dutch airspace is monitored (and the quick reaction aircraft are directed from).
When looking at information on the internet about the AOCS, I found out two radarsets that are used: the german TRLM (in the database!) and a french
"Thomson-CSF ARES Medium Power Radar (MPR)" with a stated range of around 450KM. Can anyone point me to the right entry to use in the DB3000 database? For now I settled for the TRS 2201 Palmier [MPR] as that seems to fit the bill most closely. But am I close? Or did I pick the wrong system?

Apart from that: does anyone know the positions (approximately) and type of primary airsearch radars in the Netherlands? There seem to be a few more in existence but I only can find information about radar stations that are no longer in use.

Want to build a few scenarios about the current Dutch-Russian diplomatic tensions erupting into something more ugly ;)

Cheers,

d0mbo.

Sean's IMINT and Analysis site should show locations for Dutch sites.

If you filter under DB3000 for the Dutch radars is it only the one type showing?
