 Tonight I was on the verge of tossing the monitor out the window and saying f-it. Trying to nail down a Spitfire 200 yards off my nose at about 300 feet off the deck while it was able to fling, flail, jigger and flick about the sky like the end of a fly swatter to avoid my bullets.

 I'm giving this topic a BIG PUNT because I got several replies online from folks who were wished the pilot redout/blackout models were accumulative so it would end this physically impossible behavior.

 And was it Jekyll that had the camera footage of him doing fantastic maneuvers in a Spitfire as part of a pro-cumulative-effect plea? What I've seen tonight and one other time was much worse.

Blackout limits are already artificially low.

I'm all for it, on an additionally condition.   This condition is that the AutoTrim features are also disabled during this time of extended black-out.

Currently, more or less the same thing happens with the pilot wounded effect regarding extended black-out.  All I do is punch the AutoPilot on and if there are no hostiles I am just fine.

Good Ideas!

Great idea. Poor ManedeW will NOT be able to disappear under my nose making me wonder what the hell happened  .

That guy can be pretty tricky to kill. Ya have im lined up. He disappears, you go "huh?" and suddenly he zooms up in front of you just as you've rolled inverted to check under yer nose  .

Only if initial blackout levels are raised by about a G.  We already blackout to easily, implementing this without fixing the low G tolerance of the current model would be forcing double jeopardy on the turn and burners.

Here's the offline filmWesty refers to.

Perhaps rather than simply raise onset by one g, we increase the 'g spread' between start of tunnel vision and full blackout?

 What would be right and just would be the cummulative effect so that the more they do it the longer it takes for them to recover as well as it coming back even faster if they persist in doing the "Flipper" dance.

 It would also be nice to have auto-trim not work during a black/red-out periods as well as when wounded and even when flying in clouds.

 Pretty please HTC??
