There was something in that video that really caught my eye; how high his eyepoint was in relation to the panel. I don't remember being that high when I flew the sim. Maybe he's just a heck of a lot taller than I am. LOL

Yeah, the guy seems a little taller. I dont remember being that high up either, just close to the HUD panel.

Good thing he was wearing a helmet :D,
Noticed he had to use two hands when in high g turns, from what I remember in the sim, this was pretty accurate, it takes a lot of force to get the stick where you want to go in high g maneuvers even with FBW. No controller for flight sim enthusiasts comes close in my opinion to those forces required or felt on the stick in the sim.

x2 of what you said. My x52 definately feels like a baby's toy in comparison to the real stick. And yeah, when I did the bat turns (max G turn) to see how much the speed bled off... I put the throttle to MAX and then used both hands to pull the stick back. This is also why its soo hard to make a realistic G-Limiter, 'cause the real stick gets more resistant as you pull farther back.
And just think... the Blues ADD a 40lb spring to the stick for their demo. Better be strong.
