No, not really true... I went up in a aerobatic plane and did sustained 6 g turns according to the cockpit Gee meter (not like minutes, but it wasn't that hard to take, and it was my first time experiencing it).. yea, it felt funny, and my arms and head got real heavy, but there was no risk of blacking out any time soon. Google on it, and people can take quite a bit more. Anyway, the game simulates (oversimulates?) that pretty good anyway as you mentioned.

Agreed, and with a daily dose of 6G's the body will physiologically adapt....really when the grey begins and you loose the color its just the airplane telling you to "let go of the stick dummy". I really don't know how I would implement this in a flight sim. I feel that some elements are realistic in IL-2 but others are rather....for the lack of a better word....unexplainable....I guess I would have to ask the developer what his rationale was for that...but then again. Time to move on.
