Uncontrolable aircraft under heavy G-force
#1

This is not realistic that aircraft is uncontrolable under heavy G.
It will be more interesting and realistic when we will be able to control the aircraft under heavy G, under blind Big Grin

What are you think about this ? Can you fix it ?

Under high G loading the pilot is under extreme physical pressure, controlling the aircraft with a central control column would require more physical effort.. This was made easier in modern combat aircraft by putting the 'joystick' down on the right hand side of the pilot so he only has to move his hand and wrist to remain in control..

i think it's also meant to simulate the pilot passing out from the heavy g-forces, which happened a lot until the advent of the G-suit which under G would apply pressure to the lower parts of the body such as the legs to keep blood from being forced out of the head and help the pilot retain vision and consciousness when pulling heavy maneuvers. just my opinion Smile.

I have read many books, because I'm not fighter pilot Big Grin , and I have never been in real dogfight.
But in most situations when pilots went out from fast dive, they were completely blind but still able to pull out aircraft from dive.

Then you will also have read that many pilots also 'piled in' because they were unable to retain control..
This effect you are looking for has many variables.. For instance, the shorter, stockier pilot was generaly able to withstand more G loading than a taller, slimmer pilot.. A pilots fitness level and more importantly his experience at being subjected to high G combat loads also has an impact..
Lets not forget 'combat fatigue'... It's not all black and white I'm afraid, there's many factors to consider if this is to be implemented.

You read the accounts of the survivors, the others were not still around to tell thier story....

A better mod would be to have the pilot's head banging all around the cockpit and canopy when they are throwing the joystick around like they are flying with a Playstation gamepad. Smile

Can we simulate the 'seeing stars' thing...? Big Grin

If not at least the stars flying around in a ring, around the pilots head:

As a side note... I've noticed that once in a blue moon, you still have control over the aircraft when blacked out... not very dramaticly controlable, but enough to occasionally save your ass (read: very small changes in 3d direction). I dont know if this is actually a bug with the game, or its intended to be like that... but it happens every now and again...

To be honest, Whiskey has a point, and I also think that the 'blacking out' feature is not exactly right in game either, but I suspect, to implement some of the factors I've mentioned above was maybe far to complicated for Oleg to model exactly, so we just have this generic effect so that everyone is equal..
In real life however, everyone wasn't equal, some pilots were able to sustain more than others..

We should somehow simulate the g force straining manauver that all fighter pilots are taught. It is exactly like being constipated and trying to take the biggest dump of you life don't you know.. Big Grin

A blue angels pilot that crashed recently blacked out because he didn't do this technique enough in a high g turn don't you know. It was the finding of a military air crash investigations board! Confusedhock:
