I'm guessing seat position could be modeled if you'd like to put it on the wish list.

What seat position might that be?

The low seat position in the FW-190 had the pilot's legs higher than normal for that time. This reportedly made G tolerance easier but I haven't seen any comparative numbers. I'd be surprised if it was changed from the current model where everybody is the same.

Nor should it be, imo. Its not like 190s aren't already fairly prevalent.

G-suit or not, I think it would be helpful to make the pilots less G tolerant. If anything so I don't black out all the time when I switch to IL-2 or DCS lol

Careful what you wish for. Dale works from home now and may be prone to experimenting more.
