Just came back to say, thanks ED. Only took 4 years.

Yeah I'd like to report a bug. Coupled with the AWACS on multiplayer servers, the F-18 can just fly around with the radar off and see everyone. Makes for really fun gameplay.

I stand corrected, but he stays conscious from 14:10 to 14:40 8G with the most abysmal technique I've ever seen. I don't know how they let him pass. But even more evidence the G-LOC onset is ridiculous in DCS. Here's this guy pulling 12G for longer than we can pull 7G sustained in DCS.

EDIT: He pulls 8G for 30 seconds at the end of the video with terrible technique. I've been seeing a lot of people making things up about how hard it is to sustain 9Gs and F-16 "realism." Below is a Navy Ensign fighter *STUDENT* pulling 9Gs in the centrifuge for 30 seconds and we can't even pull 9Gs in DCS for like 5 seconds. I rest my case.

To be fair, fatter dudes with slower blood flow actually have a higher tolerance to G in theory.. haha

It helps indirectly. It forces air down your throat making it easier to breathe. Since it's hard to breathe in general at 9G the mask helps a lot with allowing you to breathe easier during an "anti-G straining maneuver" and therefore sustain the G's for longer periods of time.

We can't pull 9G in the Viper without blacking out (please support my post on the issue https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=273887 to get more visibility). But I have to disagree with you. Since we can't pull 9G, this question has a definitive answer in my view: yes the F-14 can out turn the F-16. The F-16 can't pull any alpha and it can't out rate you because neither plane can go above 7.1G without passing out. So it gets slow and now the F-14 with it's huge control surfaces and no limiter to stop you, can pull huge amounts of alpha and always win.

Exactly. This guy does 10 seconds at 12G and I can't pull 8G for 3 seconds in DCS:

We should also account for dehydration of the pilot, how much sleep he got, what his psychological state is, if he worked out legs yesterday... :megalol: joking aside: They don't need to model this perfectly, it just needs to be way easier to pull g's so that the the viper isn't useless in a dogfight. Some of the modeling you are talking about is extremely detailed and I don't think it's really that necessary. Going in assumptions should just be 1. professional pilot, 2. modern g-suit, 3. warmed up. F-16 has arguably the highest G-onset of any aircraft since you can just pull immediately to the limiter without worrying about over-g, but even so, professional pilots don't have issues with it.

The point of the Viper having a G-limiter is so that you can pull 9 G sustained. Right now you pass out at 9G after like 5 seconds which is a severe disadvantage. With the simulated "black out" G effects you are actually limited to about 7G in the Viper... From a balancing aspect, the F-16 just gets annihilated by the F-18/Flanker/Mirage and other fighters that can pull high alpha and point at you. In order for the F-16 to have a chance, the G-LOC resistance needs to be increased, imo for every fighter, because it is far to easy to start seeing black at the first sign of 7G+, but especially for the viper since the 9G limiter is the main advantage it has in a dogfight.

RIO Can I have my brother as a RIO if I fly a F-14?

I have a great system---1080, 16GB RAM, i7, SSD---and never had an issue until 2.5. I can't join any multiplayer without it freezing and eventually crashing at the role select screen. I've tried pagefile increases, administrator, reinstalling. At this point, starting to agree with most people here: this is a DCS software issue.

Apparently many people would buy this and defend it with their lives on this forum. :megalol:

I don't care about the F/A-18. I could care less which two seat fighter they could have spent more time making instead of the L-39. But you're pretty much agreeing with me: Players want more...more maps, assets, tankers, AWACS, transport instead of a out of place L-39.

I'm not suggesting they release a bare-bones/incomplete aircraft for purchase. I was merely suggesting they could use one for testing the concept of multicrew as opposed to developing a complete aircraft for that purpose. Although, speaking of incompleteness, arguably that was what the last Mirage release was... (I don't believe they have even fixed the IFF yet).
