See, now eagle eye has a real valid response and I agree with him, I just want to fly thunderbird formation in the game, lol. I don’t know where you come from Cloud 9.

And pilots actually feel when they are speeding up and slowing down in the REAL F-16!!! Since everyone can’t have a hydrolic motion sim in their bedroom, why not display that visually since it’s the only way to provide that info in a game? It’s not even a big deal, but it sure as hell some thing that isn’t in the real F-16 like your implying

Is what in the real F-16? I’m not saying add some instrument that doesn’t exist, I’m saying in the same way they simulate black out and red out, having some minor effect to show if the plane is speeding up or slowing down, to visualize that sensation. It would probably be more trouble than it’s worth to program into the game I know, it was just a thought. I’m not asking they transform BMS into H.A.W.X. or something

Well your claiming that my idea isn’t realistic. True it’s not the same as feeling those G forces as you go into burn, but it’s a way to let your brain get that intel that you would be getting in real life.

Your telling me F-16 pilots can’t feel when they are speeding up or slowing down? because i can feel it in a car, and that’s a 4 banger. Plus i got the idea from what an ex pilot was telling me i met at the comedy club last week. I’m just looking at a way to translate that sensation into the game that’s feasable.

What’s not realistic about being able to feel the acceleration? Yeah they can’t make you feel, your brain is just receiving that information visually instead of from the G forces. The point is getting the information to the brain, regardless of how it gets there…… that’s not arcade mode. It’s not like I’m asking for the new Ace Combat game or somethin

Talking to ex Viper pilots from Hill AFB about refueling in falcon they told me it’s actually easier in real life because you can feel when you are accelerating/decelerating which makes staying with the tanker much easier… I was wondering since there’s no way to duplicate the feeling in the sim, what about some type of visual cue like along the bottom of the screen like fading in some blue along bottom when decelerating and red when accelerating… the faster your accelerating the less opaque it is, something like that… just an idea.

Thx for the responses guys. Man that’s neat getting up to Mach 2 + and watching how fast the ground underneath is scooting by. Holy crap

God this is depressing, they got rid of F-16’s at Hill AFB by where I live and swapped over to the 35 (except maintenence on ejection seats etc will still come here). Makes me sick and sad… such a POS waste of money. Lord help any pilot in one unlucky enough to be seen. Like clubbing seals. The idea of replacing the Viper with something that does nothing that great is retarded, advances in radar could easily neutralize the only plus this plane has, if it hasn’t happened already. This is the Military Industrial Complex milking us like a cow.

All my life I’ve always read that the F-16s top speed at 36,000ft is Mach 2.1. But even in a completely unarmed F-16 I’ve never been able to achieve that speed even in a dive. I’m just curious if that’s something wrong in the game, what I’ve read, or if there’s something I’m missing on the subject.
