I have never seen any sign of a red out, but I have had the edges shrink in on me and all sounds dissapear except the breathing during a black out but not totally.

I blacked out this morning after finishing off two twelve packs, and half a fifth of Makers.

Don't feel so hot now.

For practice with accurate g effects without spending any money on it, try downloading the Targetware beta. Almost entirely user-created, it includes all the details people usually mention when they complain about the accuracy of commercial sims, as it was made by ones who complained. It's not complete, and nobody ever plays it, but it strives for realism above all else. Including flak that kills you quick, unforgiving blackouts and redouts, accurate ammunition and ordnance amounts and effects. And fully configurable stick characteristics, including for gamepads. Also real bombsights.

Not to mention, no WEP, and the engine still overheats if you're not careful... also, no HUD, must use the cockpit instruments.

Anyone who gets Targetware, look me up for a one-on-one battle in the Tobruk module ("Tobruk must fall" is a good air-to-air scenario). Unless you manage to find someone else playing, which I can't.

Can people play against each other if they run different os, mac and windows?

Yes. It's entirely cross-platform, though I think you might have to use Java to install it.

The modules made so far are Tobruk (mediterranean/Sicily/Italy), Rabaul (Pacific air war), Richthofen's Skies (ww1), War over Poland, and the original Target Korea. In Korea you can fly Mig-15 and f-86, but careful with the engine temperature.
