Title: Do you ever get dizzy?
Post by: IrishBug on March 01, 2010, 02:10:35 PM
Seriously, I noticed that when I'm flying  :airplane: in ACES I get dizzy and nauseous , and sick sometimes. Especially if I am in zoom mode in GV's. Does anyone else ever have this happen to them ever?  And no I don't drink  :cheers: or do drugs :banana:, so it's not that. Maybe an inner ear thing? I just wondered if anyone else ever gets the feeling too.

Thanks!

you might have a mild case of motion sickness or tunnel vision . try a dramamine before you play. it might help. If not stop spinning in your chair for a while ! :lol

Sometimes when I have buffs on autoclimb I'll spin around in my chair real fast.  That gets me dizzy.

Do you wear glasses?...if not maybe you need to check it out....is it a progressive thing or does it happen from the first moment of game on?....You could be straining one or both of your eyes



I get dizzy from time to time myself...this is usually because I have ignored my lady for too long and she gives me a whack to the back of my head... just to let me know she is still about.

I used to have that happen all the time, but now I fly with beer goggles and it's better.

Irishbug, I use to get dizzy after flying allot. (I also get dizzy/motion sick on first person shooter games.)  However after the Eye Doc found that I have an astigmatism and corrected for it.  I don't have as much problem with AH.  FPS tho still suck.  Have your eyes checked.  I feel for you!

I get it in first person shooters - tried doom long time ago and was nauseous for hours after, never had the problem in Air warrior or AH.
B-In-Law is an optometrist, he also said to check for astigmatisms, and to put a downer to you, it is also a a precursor to epilepsy. There are many cases of people having epileptic seizures playing video games.

Have it happen quite a bit in FPS games. Used to be only in the interior sections of games way back when but now I can't even fire up Ghost Recon and do it. Although I was able to play Modern Warfare 2 without feeling like I was going to puke my guts out. However ARMA and Op Flashpoint...I just can't handle them at all. Weird feeling though and I haven't had my eyes checked in a long time. So I stopped playing FPS games altogether.

I get nauseous after about 10 minutes of playing any FPS game. I also get it in flight sims that have a padlock view or similar, anything where the program moves your head position for you. I can play AH for any amount of time if I use only the snap views.

An ex squaddie of mine(NEXX) had to quit the game because of this.(check out his AH Skins)..It's called "vertigo"...It is real.

Dramamine did the trick. Although I only tried it once so far (last night) I noticed an immediate difference. Thanks to Shppr for letting me know. Thanks all who answered with serious helpful comments :rock

Well, I didn't quite quit for that but I could never use 'snap' view because that would make me very sick & dizzy.  I couldn't never play 'Quake' like games, I'd be ill for a week.

How's it going SirLoin?  How's the old Hornets?

Every once in a while I will be enroute to a base, and I well get a slight case of vertigo.  I know why it happens, because the terrain looks one way, like I am in a turn, and the Artificial Horizon is saying I am straight and level.  I do what we do in real planes, go on the guages, and fly the plane, and it goes away real fast.  In a plane once you get it it is harder to get rid of.

For me it is joystick realted in AH.

I changed briefly to a Saitek and it made me dizzy when I flew.

Switched back to my trusty MS Sidewinder and all was well.

For all you flyers that get sick, please try the dramamine, it is so incredible at stopping the dizzies, vertigo, or whatever else name it's called. The main ingredient of this medicaiton (over-the-counter) and no prescription needed is, Meclizine. You can find it in practically any store, and just take one in the morning everyday. Even if you just feel dizzy without playing video games, it really does the trick. See you in the AH skies! :salute

it can lead to very serious consequences....

3.Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
4.Play in a well-lit room.

as a legal matter..it may inure to the material detriment of an online game to fail to mention this somewhere/anywhere on their website.  I wasn't even aware of this until I saw this thread..and did some quick research. it's certainly food for declaimer...in our otherwise highly litigious society.

There's one map (maybe two?) where the GVs sometimes spawn on the top of massive cliffs. I get spinny at those edges.  I usually just tower out & go somewhere else.

Yeah there was some cartoon in Japan years ago that had some combination of quick flashing colors that caused a whole bunch of kids to have a seizure while watching it.

Only when I'm cock-eyed drunk. But I do rock forward whenever I collide with the ground or another aircraft. Amazing what auto-suggestion makes you do, eh?
