More effects on the pilot

There was some talk about modelling pilot fatigue, perhaps combining blurred vision and control heaviness the more frequent and prolonged g forces are exerted during an extended dogfight -- with eventual recovery. I fear this could be goofed up like the current "anthropomorphic" effects are now, though.

Fatigue is modeled by playing all day and becoming fatigued... It sounds like a bad thing to model in-game.

Good joke.

How about modeling the overwelming calmness and inner-peace, being at one with god and the universe knowing that you have done everything that you possible have done to help your team - just before being PK'd by that 20mm shell that just passed through your noggin'

Hmmm... not to forget effects due to missing oxygene...

Since oxygen supply isn't modelled in this sim, combat must be limited to below 15 angels. That wouldn't change a thing for some players!

Well, they can change that, or is there a reason why it is impossible?

Only Luthier can answer that, right? I was being facetious about the 15 angels limit, because, as you well know, there is no way currently to turn on/adjust oxygen flow so practically speaking EVERYONE would ultimately suffer the effects of oxygen deprivation above that altitude.

Perhaps in future Luthier may decide to model oxygen systems, but that would undoubtedly be a low priority given the huge tasks confronting him now to bring this sim up to snuff -- and its sequel.

The OP's thread is, IMHO, forward thinking, interesting, and bit of fun to boot. Perhaps the timing is off given the currently huge problems this sim is still experiencing after 1.5 years of launch -- many here are not willing to look beyond the immediate necessary fixes.

I dont want to see limbs flying off but more effects certanly would be n ice
