Hey, you're right. I just tried it out. Has it always been this way? I seem to remember things being otherwise.
Don't get too excited though. It would be nice if you fellows could approach the discussion more calmly instead of trying to score rhetorical smack-down points with every post.
You're right, it should be approached more calmly . . . but given the hysterics and attempts at outright falsehoods that get spewed about (like no black outs when in F3 view), it is sometimes difficult to refrain from responding in kind.
Yes, the black-out / red-outs have ALWAYS been that way as long as I have been playing. Anyone who has spent a sufficient amount of time in the aircraft would know that. Which, again, makes my point that (in general) those who want F3 removed because it supposedly makes things too easy for the IL-2 have not spent enough time in the aircraft to understand how vulnerable it is despite the supposed "advantage." That isn't an attempt to "score points", but merely an observation.
The thing to remember about the IL-2 is it is agonizingly slow compared to most other aircraft. Since it is a slow aircraft, even in sharp turns the pilot does not always experience enough G's for a blackout to occur. But make no mistake that if you are up to speed and turn sharply, you will get the blackout, and regardless of what view you are in.
