Marvellous!
I've been thinking about adding this sort of feature for a while using the
tutorial system, but your implementation looks a lot more advanced(though I have
still to try it).
It sounds like a perfect scenario for the G-force* black-out feature I've been
working on.
Rather than an aircraft-specific feature, this is a generic solution that will
be
part of the sim itself, with a dialog box allowing the feature to be switched
on/off, and the level of G at which black-out (and red-out) begins to happen. As
always, the aircraft config can over-ride the default settings to take into
account G-suits, or the pilot being Kirby Chambliss.
Its almost ready for CVS, and it makes quite a difference to how you fly - no
more pulling 5-Gs continually in the pc7 or Pitts.
Now what I need is to add some sensor to detect when the user tenses their legs
to mitigate positive g :)
