It could be interesting the sound of a really loud "thud" with a loud tinnitus like buzz, and the controls going limp, then the sound of gurgling, like you do when somebody kicks you in the nuts, then the sounds slowly fading and then the progression between tunnel vision and then the black screen...that could be like a warning that you are out for better pastures.

otherwise, its kind of funnily annoying having that black screen.

As a creative work, Oleg and team should be give their artistic licence to interpret death in any way they see fit.

As the developers of damn fine simulations, I sure Oleg and Co would accept any concrete data that anyone can supply that proves their interpretation wrong. They've done it in the past and I'm sure that they would do it in the future. But they are fairly particular about their sources, No hearsay or second hand information.

Any voluneers to gather some objective, first hand data??????

As near death experiences go................

Perhaps the user can load a set of images of his/her past, early childhood weddings holiday births deaths etc, into the SoW "RIP" folder.

Then you can have your life flash before your eyes as you "kick the bucket" in your pit.

This could encourage the "chart monkeys" to speculate and make some formula in excel to predict the data required !!!!

We need a chart

Ask and you will receive!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skoshi Tiger Pain V Bullet Speed Comparison Chart (c)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
................Ft/sec__Size of head (Ft)__Time to cover distance(sec)
Pressure____200___0.75____________0.00375
Pain_________3____0.75___________0.25
Mk7 .303_2445____0.75___________0.000306748
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This chart shows the time taken for the different item listed to propogate approximately 9 inches (very roughly the distance between the back of my head to the tip of my nose!

From extensive research of the first site returned by yahoo I found that nerve impulses generated by pressure travel at about 200 feet per second and those caused by pain go at only about 3 feet per second.

The trusty Mk7 .303 round travels at about 2445 ft/second (from memory!) (The Colt-Browning machine guns used the MK8 round but they were only a little bit faster)

As you can see there is an order of magnitude diffence between the time taken for the bullet to pass through the said distance and any feeling of the bullet. The pain is not even in the ball park!

Which leads to the old Joke

"what is the last thing to pass through a grasshoppers mind as he hits the windscreen of a car traveling at 60mph!?"
.

...
"His Butt!"



Cheers!

honestly... u get shot in the head... ur dead and black is all u should see...

get shot in the arm... maybe a little blur or something to simulate pain, but u wouldn't die before u ran outta fuel, landed or someone finished you off...

really it all depends on where u get hit...

fade out should be if u die from bloodloss and even then it should be like...

u get tired and u should be like nodding off sorta like... screen goes black and then comes back like ur having problems keeping ur eyes open... and eventually u just pass out, screen goes black for good...
