One of the other big areas that people forget about is the ability to exploit the ergonomic limits of the real aircraft when in the simulator. Currently in the Kurfurst you can fly the aircraft while changing the throttle position and operating the flap wheel and the trim wheel while checking your six at 5G. Similarly you can apply force from two hands on the stick while simultaneously trimming to pull out of a dive. This applies to all aircraft but the Kurfirst benefits the most by far.

@Sith & Sobek I don't see why this would be a terrible idea. A pilots G tolerance on any given day is subject to such a large range of human factors that any aircraft design decisions are only comparable when talking about a pilot experiencing the exact same human performance limitations. This post indicates that the blood pressure delta in the brain for any G at an increased tilt (on the scale we're talking about for the Mustang/Kurfurst/Dora) provides negligible increased G tolerance: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2486622&postcount=49 The following from a NATO report discusses the increased G tolerance associated with elevated leg positioning, which talks of a result of either +0.4G or a negligible increase: This table from the same report samples 1000 pilots resting G tolerances: Follow up material from AIR FORCE PAMPHLET 11-419 / 17 OCTOBER 2014 / G AWARENESS FOR AIRCREW: Concusion: When taking into account all of the above data from the NATO/USAF reports, it clear that they (and the data) consider the the physical characteristics and readiness of the pilot and his ability to mitigate human factors through nutrition/conditioning/rest etc of large importance. The histogram showing the range of resting G tolerances as well as the effect on G tolerance from human factors such as fatigue and sleep deprivation are far more significant on any given day for any given pilot than small gains to be made by seat position. I believe that due to the possibility for large variances in G tolerance for any pilot (Luftwaffe or USAAF) on any day that the only reasonable solution is to give all pilots the same G tolerance. I would like to see the G-Pants for the Mustang return for historical accuracy and because there is a quantifiable increase in G tolerance and increased rapid onset protection.

Any recent updates on this? Will the G-Pants be added back or will pilot tolerances be equalized across all A/C?
