AT1 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Is there anyway that you can adjust the g forces while dogfighting? Every plane I have flown in WOV, I just move the stick and I blackout until I let go of the stick. Maybe I'm too used to flying the other sims, as I don't recall blacking out this much. I try to go easy on the stick movement but then I get blasted by a sam or air to air missile. Quote

Try setting the G force reality in the game play menu for easy and then work it up to hard a mission at a time. its actually pretty realistic. If you yank the stick back too hard while doing, say, 600kts - you're likely to leave the wings behind on many aircraft. Quote

Always been a prop guy before. Quote
+Typhoid Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks I'll try that until I used to flying jets. Always been a prop guy before. even in a real prop you'd likely either stall the plane or rip the wings off if you yanked too hard. good luck! Quote
JediMaster Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 It's not always so much how FAR you pull the stick back, it's how FAST. For example, full back in half a second = blackout. Take 1.5 seconds, no blackout. Quote

Take 1.5 seconds, no blackout. absolutely correct. In fact I will say that it is ALWAYS how fast you yank the stick, not how far. same thing in a car. trying going down the freeway at 80 and taking the exit at the last second by "yanking" the wheel in a microsecond and count how many times your car rolls........... I lost several friends over the years when their aircraft came apart in flight due to overstress loads. Quote

I lost several friends over the years when their aircraft came apart in flight due to overstress loads. I would also say, at what airspeed counts for a lot. Near corner velocity, you or the wings go at max rate pull. Near min speed...mainly you'd just buffet a lot up until stall. FastCargo Quote
Darrin Posted March 29, 2007 Posted March 29, 2007 probably not your answer but you can also go outside the plane in hard turns (F-5)on keyboard. it is a Sim after all.looks cool to and if you dont respect this try landing outside the plane.Just a thought.-D- Quote
