TacticalError Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 So I found this while flying in the "Just dogfight" server. The jets are on low fuel and no stores or pylons. I pull about -1-(-3) Gs and I hear the blackout "Muffed" effect.
Theodore42 Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Ya this bothered me at first as well but after thinking about it... It does give a helpful input for when you're experiencing negative Gs that a pilot would be keenly aware of. Negative Gs are also reported as being very annoying to pilots so an annoying sound is apropro. It also represents the disorientation that you feel. Try hanging upside down and reading your favorite book. How well can you follow it? On the other hand, in my 20s when I was really hardcore about working out, we would do a handstand against a wall and stay there. At first, you are gonna give up at about 30 seconds, but after a few months your body adapts and there was no effect. I could stand on my hands for a half an hour and stopped only because I got board. So I think the effect is somewhat overblown, especially for representing a pilot that would have trained and adapted to negative Gs. I even remember at the first airshow I ever went to (in the '90s) I saw an F-15 demo and this guy did a NEGATIVE High-G turn. So I suspect at the high end the effect is at least a little overblown as well. (The announcer said it was -6Gs but there is no way.) Since this is a WIP I'm going to assume they'll put a milder effect for the - .5G to -1G range, which I still think should be in the game.
Xavven Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 From what I've read, the typical limit for people is -2 G. However, this can be trained and aerobatic performances go up to -5 G. I don't remember where I read it, so for all I know that could be totally wrong.
