May in a future patch 4.11 (may be) you could consider to change the pilot fainting at 8g to 4g for sustained turns.
Depends on for how long. I've flown aerobatics at 6g (4g inverted) according to the meter and didn't think anything of it.. It was cool. In a modern plane and suits, I think pilots can take as much as 12 for short periods. Heck on banked long turns, I get more than 2g in my race car. I wouldn't go down to 4 without some research proving why....
