9G Head movement limited

[lee1hy]

Like a real pilot, it would be good to limit the head movement at 6g or more. Like a real 9g.

How do you figure this would be accomplished? Force-feedback VR headsets?

Could just restrict mobility no matter how much you move… which would add some nausea so make it a really visceral experience.

From a VR pilots perspective - if this is to be implemented can it please be done as an option and not as a permanent change. (I understand the OP's desire to do this, but for VR users this could greatly increase the risk of headaches or motion sickness). 

As far as simulations go - I'm not keen on having 'real' sickness (headaches or nausea) added to the experience of DCS and I'm fairly confident most other VR users wouldn't want this either.

Best recipe to make people experience motion sickness, not only in VR but with headtracking in general.

Yup, that tends to be a barf inducer, and just feels wrong in VR, anyway. Things related to G forces are the hardest to simulate by far.

I'd be glad to try it.

You can’t restrict the movement of a VR headset. What would happen in the game is the whole world would move with your head. That makes people  sick. 
 

RL pilots can actually move their head and body under high Gs it just takes a lot of effort.There’s no way to simulate that in a PC game.

While I understand the desire, I don't think it's a good idea. I already dislike the unrealistic problems created by limited head movement that are imposed on hat switch users.

You can try head restrictions in the other WWII sim, it's a mess. Not only unrealistic range of motion (can't squeeze your leather helmet against the glass), you don't get proper feedback when you bump your head on the canopy, and on some aircraft it prevents you from looking out with the canopy open. It's not needed, in VR you instinctively try to avoid putting your head through the canopy, anyway. 

With G forces, it'd be much the same. It'd feel very jarring, not realistic at all. Better to leave it as is.
