Gustaf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Wow, you can't argue with this guy. That's point one. Point two is: If FFB sticks were available again, we would be in better able to sense and control our inputs which cause excessive G loads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question for this subject: what happens to the flight controls (stick & rudder) during the different stages? Do they stay as they were at the beginning or will the resume to central position or is this also depending on the plane? If you lose your consciousness then supposedly your grip on the stick gets lose. Your feet might push the pedals since nothing would hold them back.

It would rise if there were people who want FFB stick because it would benefit them. That's why more realism things added into a game can increase the supply of proper hardware. If the game is arcade, then xpox controller is enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly OT and slightly humorous: I had a friend who commented on my flight sim and flight sims in general .He said first you should open all the windows, wear uncomfortable clothing & boots,use an aerosol of gasoline ( petrol) and when your plane is hit have a friend or wife ( I personally think that his is a bad idea ) hit the back of your chair with a hammer. I was thankful he didn’t suggest lighting the paper in your trash can near your PC on fire as well if your digital plane catches fire... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that i'm in a niche within a niche within another, but I have bought everything they've put out to show support, but I won't be buying any other land stuff (like the AA) guns since I can't really use them. As soon as I'm familiar with computer graphics I will answer your question, but right now VR is out of my field. Many thanks for your support anyway! 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warjunkie_VR Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I think this physiology is grossly exaggerated. The books say that the Luftwaffe had take-off and landing problems with the 109 because of the narrow wheelbase and that the pilots were trained less and less because they had to get to the front quickly. The fact that you were constantly in a coma while cornering in the air fight, there is nothing in it. if the g forces were really such a strong factor, they would have reported about it. for a boom and zoom hunter, this strong physiology is absolutely annoying. in the case of dcs and cod, it was not presented as exaggerated. 2 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poll was just an assessment to see if action was needed or not, not a democratic election over what should happen. So quite a lot of people were not happy with the results and in turn a more realistic implementation was researched and put into place. 3 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since a seat back angle affects a hydrostatic blood pressure due to change of a height of brain above a heart, the math gives: 1/cos(15°) = 1.035, which means 3.5% of increasing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all lived in a different time period - nobody was complaining about fatigue or any other inconveniences. It is well known that pilots were absolutely exhausted after dogfighting. We simply can't imagine that nobody was complaining. If I compare our youth today - they rather quickly begin to moan, when they have to do a short walk with a small backpack with a tiny, healthy lunch and maybe a blanket to avoid catching a cold when sitting on the floor for a pick-nick... 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TX-Zigrat Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I am very impressed with your attention on the AnPetrovich; this is a wonderful post and I am very excited to try it out. I also want to complement you on the post itself, your depth of research and explanation, including your personal experiences in aerobatic planes. The changes you describe are EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Between the recent improvements to the visualization (which I believe are more "true to life" now and also the improvements to the physiology model I am very impressed with your listening to the community to make changes that improve the simulation.. which is what we all want. Thank you! PS I know that WW2 understandably gets more attention these days but as a old ROF and new FC customer I hope some day you are given time to work on FC.. the damage model there still is terribly broken and is driving many players like myself to no longer play it, as its just not fun. I hope you can make some time to give the same attention to detail to the FC damage model! 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alonzo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 This is fantastic. Thank you very much AnPetrovich for all your hard work. I know it is a lot of research material, probably many hundreds of pages, and a lot of effort to do this. I am very excited about trying the new model. As an occasional Tempest pilot, I hope that I might kill myself a little less often in that particular airplane! 😉 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I echo the sentiments of others in regards the the FC DM. There is no one, save for a regular dozen, that fly FC online anymore. This is just 4 -6 months from packed servers with wait lists. I hope you guys can find just a little time to sort it out and return life to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBF-12_KW Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I love the attention to detail and focus on continuing improvement! Has any thought been given to making the G-suit in the American fighters a selectable mod? The P-51D for instance saw service with both the RAF and the 15th Air Force (in fact we have default skins for these) without G-suits. Likewise the vast majority of pilots probably didn’t have them yet in the summer of 1944 during Normandy (yeah, ours is a slightly later D-15, but it will almost certainly get used in earlier MP scenarios and SP missions). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there will be another research if the "Press-to-win-boys" start whining again. You should read what he wrote. He looked at the comments and found that even many people who were happy with the pilot's G-resistance in general had specific things that they wanted modeled. So rather than just keep it the same or increase the resistance, they overhauled the whole thing to try and get it more correct. For example, in that poll I voted to keep the G-resistance the same but I wanted to see the push-pull effect better modeled. It's not as simple as a yes/no vote And within the thread good documentation was produced which has helped drive these changes- for a simulation, documentation>democracy anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might look into the Simshaker software by a guy named Andre. This software reads events from the sim and sends input to either a Jetseat or a Bass Shaker. It's not force feedback obviously, but it definitely is feedback. i.e. You can tune it to provide tactile input based on G load. Absent Force Feedback resistance on the stick itself, this is the next best thing, imo. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
