Views when pulling G's

It's a dogfight sim, not a puny pencil neck simulator.

I've pulled up to 8 G. That much, combined with the weight of the helmet and mask (multiplied) definitely does not encourage you to twist your head around, but it is not impossible. At 5 G or so, it is a non issue. I was not used to such G forces, so trained fighter pilots probably have even less of an issue with it.

When the F-"teens" started coming into the inventory in the mid 70s, the fighter squadrons became equipped with weight rooms so the jocks could get in better physical shape for the routinely 9G capable jets.  Even with that, there were/are neck and back issues/injuries in those units.  Doing a 9G pull is quite impressive and requires deliberate movement.  A rapid reaction with the head/neck is an immediate "self correcting" situation.

Inexperienced pilot/passengers generally starts to get problem with grey/blackouts when reaching 5-6g buts its very individual. if u are short and have high blood pressure u probably tolerate G.s better than a tall person.
