Do you ever get dizzy?

[SirLoin]

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.

milk of magnesia i think helps?

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

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.

I get that when I try to use Track IR while hungover.  While drunk though I'm fine.. go figure LOL

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!

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?
