How does the blackout vary between types?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone with experience in more than one of the warbirds explain/ demonstrate (Youtube vidoes eprhaps?) how the pilot's G-response works accross the various aircraft?

 

 

I've noticed in the spit that.

1. Positive G loading causes a gradual (can occur quickly) blackout that is followed by an extended period of black-screen during which the pilot cannot manipulate controls but must wait for vision to return. this can be between 5 to 20 seconds.. (I've not timed it). Sometimes my GPU output will disable during this, and my monitor will flick to the "no DVI input" mode.

 

 

2. Negative G lodaing results in an "instant" black screen. This is recoverable very quickly by relaxing the G-forces. There is no mandatory wait-period like there is with positive G-loading.

 

 

Is this the same for other types?

Black outs are independent of the aircraft you're flying.. at least it should like that. In DCS, is not. I did a comparison between 109 and Spit and the BOs and G-locs are different..

Interesting, for me the spitfire behaves the same way your 109 does.. I cannot exit a spitfire positive-G-loc by relaxing the stick. In fact, for me, the GPU turns off!

 

 

Maybe it is different depending on system also?

What do you mean ?

 

 

 

I mean that the connection from my monitor to my GPU is severed. about 50% of the time I get a message on my monitor that says "no DVI input found"... then the monitor tries to go into power saving mode.

Only the return of the pilot's vision causes the connection to re-establish itself.

 

 

This doesn't happen 100% of the time.. but it does happen a lot.
