Could be, Red. It's been five or six years since I downloaded it and all the zip file says is the aircraft type. Why did you feel stupid doing VFR? It was designed as an observation aircraft, so visibility both forward and down is excellent. And I know the navaids work because it's the first plane I flew a long distance, multi-leg TACAN flight in. I simulated flying from where I live, near Springfield MO, to Killeen TX because my son was stationed at Ft. Hood at the time. The only thing I regret about that flight was that I didn't have MegaSceneryEarth at the time and had to fly it over the stock FSX ground tiles.
Basically because I would do all my VFR flights with civil airframes. Yes it does have a great view from the office, that´s one of the things I liked the most from the Aerosoft Bronco X, and the fact that it´s a fast twin-prop. I still have it, and it works in Prepar3D v4.5 officially.
You will know it´s the Aerosoft Bronco X because it has a interactive check-list/log book...

Ask Svetlana about women pilots...
Red
My impression of female pilots forever changed when I watched Patty Wagstaff perform live at an airshow here--I still remember her performance, vividly. What a badass.

Doesn't body weight also make a difference with G-force tolerance?
I went trough physiological training several times, Mark, but I don't recall any correlation. One of the techniques to combat the effects of G forces is to tighten your abdominal and upper body muscles as hard as you can. They describe it as mimicking trying to force out a stubborn...uhhh...well, let's just say it's like struggling on the toilet. You'll also see fighter pilots spending more time pumping iron than working on cardio for the same reason. So more like physical condition than simply body weight. Of course it's been more than thirty years, so some things may have changed.
Interesting. So if it wasn't my reduced weight that made the ride more comfortable the last time (2013), it was possibly my increased physical fitness. I'd like to try it again with your abdominal/upper body procedure, maybe on one of those even higher G rides.

I mentioned Svetlana because she has won various world championships. Flying is not a mans thing only, but then theres a bunch of mill, or ex-mill dudes that get all pissed off when woman are better then them, and/or can be in a elite force. In my case I get turned on when I see a chick kick ass, no matter what they do!

If you've ever watched videos of people in G simulators and noticed the grunting or forced exhales that's basically what they're doing. You tighten up every muscle you can from your waist up. The muscles squeeze the blood veins and restrict flow from the extremities. The arteries are generally too deep to be adversely affected. You can even notice a difference doing it on high-speed roller coasters or other rides that create high G situations.
If that's the stock colors for the Aerosoft OV, Red, then that's not the one I've got. Mine is all grey with USAF markings. That one looks more like the NASA birds. On the other hand, if you managed to repaint it for FSX I'd love to find out how. I have what, in my head, is an amazing Pittsburgh Steelers based paint job.

Is this what you are talking about, Herr vonBaur?
I know someone who was in her film acting class in 2002.

Ha ha. The movie version, yes. There are a number of failsafes in the real ones including, if I'm not mistaken, a "dead man's switch" that the pilot being tested has to hold down. Lose consciousness and it shuts down, no need to fire a mini-missile concealed in your watch, or whatever it was. They're also being monitored the entire time with a camera focused on the pilot's face. If you've never seen the videos just go to You Tube and search "G-testing". They're really funny.
The training, on the other hand, is deadly serious. I never did the G simulator. That's reserved for people like pilots, astronauts, and Myth Busters. But like the altitude chamber, which I did run through a few times, it's purpose is for the person undergoing training to become familiar with what G-LOC or hypoxia feels like in a safe, controlled situation so he or she will recognize it if it happens under not-so controlled circumstances.
