The F-16 and 9Gs

[ralch]

Hi everyone,

Do you know if there is a way to make the game force a limit of G's for a plane?

For example, the F-16A_Netz or the great F-16 mods available in combatace, I can pulls as many G's I want, 11Gs, 12Gs, you name it.  I would like that plane to be limited at 9G's as God intended it.

Thank you

Open the respective Data.ini and go to [FlightControl] and change MaxG= to whatever value you want. Note  you can still go higher but you'll just black out at 9g, which is good enough to not go over.

The 9g limit has in reality less to do with the plane, but with the pilot. 9g is the maximum what a human can sustain for a certain time. For short periodes higher g's are possible and the plane can withstand it without trouble. I remember that during Vietnam war a MiG-21, after a missile evading maneuver, came home with 11 or 12 g on the clock. And when the Luftwaffe tested the MiG-29 in early 1990th over g's were not seldom.

Not to mention that G-limit varies inversely to the load airplane is carrying. The G-limit decreases as the load is increased. Can we do it properly in the SF2 environment?

That said, stories of over-G in combat situations often occurred while airplanes were heavily loaded.

I don't think it's possible in SF2 as I've flown with no G penalties whatsoever heavily loaded before.

Here's a link to an F-16 mod that "somewhat" models the automatic G-Limiter on the F-16.  It just dumps lift at a bit over 9G's so you can piss away all your speed if you're on the limiter for too long.
