Razor5-1 Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 DCS never ceases to entertain me with the little moments ;) I got hit by a SAM, lost the vertical stabiliser and entered into a heavily pitching inverted spin! Then it happened, a red out! followed by a black out. It's been so long since I remember seeing a red out that I almost forgot about them. So happy was I with this little moment that I didn't bother ejecting I was too busy smiling about this sim!
WildBillKelsoe Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 please, could somebd help me understand the difference between a red-out, and a black-out. I know black-out is from hypoxia that you faint. red-out, if I'm medically correct, is from too much blood going to head from +ve over G? Is that why pilots grind their teeth in the centrifuge machine? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower.

Razor5-1 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Posted August 6, 2012 "Blackout" is caused by excessive positive (+ve) "G", the blood rushes away from the head and you begin to loose colour vision then vision, finally becoming unconscious. "Red out" is caused by excessive negative (-ve) "G", the blood rushes to your head and causes the blood vessels in your eyes to enlarge, resulting in seeing only red. In a rollercoaster, +ve "G" is felt on the inside of a loop and negative is felt on the outside of a loop to give you a simple idea. A centrifuge can only simulate positive +ve "G". 1
