A commander on the Elite Dangerous subreddit revealed why their controls were locking up mid-combat after upgrading thrusters on their Corsair ship. The game realistically simulates G-force effects, causing the screen to darken and controls to lock when subjected to high G-forces, mimicking pilot blackout. This discovery highlights the game's detailed flight mechanics and the importance of managing thruster upgrades and maneuvers to avoid G-lock. It adds a new layer of realism and challenge to combat, encouraging.
- Control lockouts occur due to simulated pilot blackout from high G-forces.
- Thruster upgrades and flight maneuvers must be managed carefully to prevent G-lock.
