Is oxygen (mask) implemented?
-
I remember (can’t seem to locate where) reading that the simulated pilot now has to train up G-tolerance by doing a few manoeuvres during flight otherwise the pilot will black out at a lower G level, and like the HMCS alignment, this needs to be done every so often otherwise the pilot will lose G-tolerance.
Does having the oxygen on or off affect the simulated pilot’s capabilities as well? I normally keep this off as I find the “breathing sounds” distracting, but wonder if it will be detrimental in the current version of BMS.
Thanks!

Short answer is yes. Hypoxia is implemented. I sometimes fly with the the sound on, sometimes off. After a while I don’t think about it.
The breathing sound is selectable in the Sounds area of the Setup. But for sure flip the green switch in the pit. -

That must be new, thanks!!

@Atlas 4.34 had the switch implemented so you could hear the breathing. 4.35 introduced the hypoxia to the equation.

Yes (hypoxia)

No. Not in game, nor in real.
Do not confuse G-LOC and hypoxia. -

Do not confuse G-LOC and hypoxia.But if I breathe 100% pure oxygen I’ll have a little more tolerance to GS than a pilot who only breathes air or mixed oxygen-air. It is not like this ?
In Soviet aircraft there are 3 selectors: the black one is for mixing and from a certain height it puts 100% oxygen, the blue one that puts 100% oxygen and the red in emergency connects the reserve system of 100% oxygen.

I don’t think it work like that… the oxigen percentage has more to do with your levels of nitrogen in your blood stream than with G-loc.
At higher flight levels, if you have a cockpit depressurization, the nitrogen in your blood will start to “boil”. Oxigen at 100% you eliminate your residual nitrogen to prevent this.

As I understand it, the higher the level of oxygen in the blood, the greater the tolerance to Gs, depending on where I studied, the books say that pilots were recommended to connect 100% oxygen before a fight or intercession since the bodily demand was supplied by the supply of the aircraft In other words, the more oxygen, the more response from the organism and the more response from the blood bag that was aware of the combat decisions.

Many times I connect to a MIG and for 10 minutes or more I breathe pure oxygen and get drunk. After that, as avionics chief, I ordered a reload and nothing happened.

Yes, but no. Not on jet fighter, I mean, it is not the purpose of 100% O².
Not enough time for this. To eliminate nitrogen from blood and replace it by O², one have to breath 100% pure O² during 20 to 40min (depending on cabin ALT). If, at any time, we take one single breath of normal (mixed) air, the whole denitro process is ruined and must be restarted from the beginning.This is however true for Tactical Air Transport for VERY high altitude dropping (>FL160), divers, and space flights.
100%O² en suppress at high cabin altitude is to attempt to reestablish the partial pressure (PPO²) and blood’s saturation.

It is minimal. Under high G load, the issue is not the % of O² in the blood, it is the vector of this O² (the blood) that can’t reach the brain.
I’ll have to retrieve the IRBA studies about it, but, from memory AGSM saves about 3-4Gs.
G suite saves about 1G.At low level, the mask provides normal air (no enriched O²) … O² enrichment comes at higher than FL100 (cabin alt) and EMER provides suppressed 100% O².
There is no automatic 100% O² supplies by regulator under Gs, only the G suite is supplied by normal air under G loads.
