domini99 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 When you for some reason end up in a negative G flight, and you pass out, the pilot will keep the stick in that position, and thus force the aircraft to continue flying negative G's, and never allowing the aircraft to regain positive G's so your pilot can possibly wake up again. I don't think that in real life, when you have passed out that you will keep a firm grip on the stick and force it in the exact same position as before you passed out. Maybe make it so, that when you pass out, you release the stick and it goes back to neutral, thus allowing the aircraft to stabilize itself?
terminator363 Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 I was thinking this, I think in real life the pilot would probably let go of the stick while he's passed out. Happy Bug Hunting!
vladd148 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 When you G-LOC in real life you are incapacitated for about 30 seconds, where you're not really able to fly the plane. You're physically unconscious for anywhere between 10-15 seconds, and then you undergo about another 15 seconds of relative incapacitation where you can't perform basic flying tasks. So while perhaps it isn't modeled as it occurs in real life, if you G-LOC while flying solo, you more than likely will not be able to recover in time.
domini99 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) No seriously, any idea how annoying this is? Flying mach 2 at 15k altitude, accidentally push the stick forward a little bit, pilot blacks out and keeps forcing the stick forward... after the plane was going 90 degrees vertical down the G forces went to 0 and my pilot woke up again... the only issue was the my jet was at 2km at that moment so I couldn't recover. The aircraft was trimmed for level flight, the pilot should have let the stick go and the aircraft would recover to level flight... Edited October 19, 2015 by domini99
Sabre-TLA Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) I think the sim has it pretty realistic. Look at this video at about 3 mins in. The Co-pilot goes G-LOC and falls forward into the cockpit. I think it's reasonable that he would push the stick forward into a unrecoverable dive (depending on altitude). It will be fun in the multi-pit cockpits to see who G-LOCs first and who can recover the bird before it crashes. Edited October 20, 2015 by Sabre-TLA MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
