eatthis Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 anybody have any numbers for this? sitting here in my head would this broaden the cats speed sweetspot? ie can pull serious turn rates at higher speeds too? 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernbear Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 "You can generally hold up to 8.2 - 8.4 G's without blacking out If you go to 9G it will take roughly 3-6 seconds to blackout. F-18 can hold 8.2-8.4 G's without losing speed as long as you're faster then 480 ish knots. F-14 loses speed when holding 8.2-8.4 G's at 520+ knots F-16 loses speed when holding 8.2-8.4 G's at 500+ knots (faster than F-14) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can bleed too much speed if (like me) you were reliant on the previous values for blackout onset to hold you at certain turn rates at a given mach number. In other words, the delay in g-lock onset is not insignificant.

And i think the F-16 drivers will rejoice the most.

Hummingbird Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 We're still far short of realistic tolerances though, like very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_dalan Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 We're still far short of realistic tolerances though, like very far. Baby steps, old friend. Baby steps. What i find more alarming, is that i just came back from the F-16 threads and everyone is jumbling about HARMs abd MAVs, and nobody even noticed they can pull more g's now! :huh: Talking about a mud mover's community! :lol: Modules: FC3, Mirage 2000C, Harrier AV-8B NA, F-5, AJS-37 Viggen, F-14B, F-14A, Combined Arms, F/A-18C, F-16C, MiG-19P, F-86, MiG-15, FW-190A, Spitfire Mk IX, UH-1 Huey, Su-25, P-51PD, Caucasus map, Nevada map, Persian Gulf map, Marianas map, Syria Map, Super Carrier, Sinai map, Mosquito, P-51, AH-64 Apache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
