Realistic pilots?

It is an uncomplicated task. Some kind of system to relay to the gamer how affected from fatigue one is (can be a breathing sound, indicator or graphical effect). Then the effects of fatigue itself: even just temporarily reduced strength or being more prone to greying/blacking out would be a big step forward.

On the contrary, IMHO it is very complicated. Of course, you can lower the onset of blacking out, but how do you model a “reduced strength”? By slowing down control input? By limiting the amount of stick or pedal displacement? By increasing force feedback?
And how can you slow down quick reflexes?
