To increase realism I have my roomate wrap a belt around my torso and head; pulling it as hard as he can. This simulates the G's accounted for in the game. However, I can not find a suitable method to simulate negative G's. Any ideas?

Have him wrap the belt around your neck- this will prevent the blood from draining. Note that it is important to pull just hard enough to put pressure on the veins, and not the arteries.

Yes I agree with this part to a very basic degree, MSFS (today) is helpfull for practicing basic airfield procedures and ATC if over Vatsim.


Real World flying experience is an emmense help in AH as the rules of flight dynamics are not too different in the real world vs the AH world...

Sorry I completely disagree real world flying is nothing like AH or even MSFS with some of it's expensive addons. Other then the very basics of flight. This is similar to the argument "I can land a PMDG 747 and I reckon I could land a real one" crowd just in reverse.

You know there is a reason why they pay big bucks to buy level-d motion sims. Yanking and banking around in AH is a long way from even that simulated world.

Fly what you want to fly, how you want to fly it.  It doesn't matter what the other person thinks.

Just a quick note here, because the subject is etiquette, I recieved my very first salute from Catfish, but was a bit too busy to return it at the time, So I wish to return it! (I even got it on film for training purposes) Next time we cross paths, may the best man win!

you could suspend a chair upside down from the celing twentyfo, but that is getting away from the original intent of my post... Let me ask a different way: What is the WORST sort of behaviour you've encountered in the MAs?;)
