How often do people fail this pipeline during the human centrifuge training? Also, how often do people fail flight training in general?

The worst part of the ‘fuge was the coriolis effect. I had the spins for a good half hour after I got out of the pod.

Fortunately, raging with my buddies in San Antonio the night before was good practice. ;)

Yeah, that was definitely true. Kinda like your first day ashore after being underway for a while. Different mechanism, but I’ve seen a lot of people get real uncomfortable taxiing in level D sims/FFS due to the movements involved. I’d submit they would probably also barf their lunch and then black out in our ‘fuge :)

I feel like spatial D/motion sickness in the sim is a real thing with taxiing. Nothing like getting thrown back in the seat in the sim when you are going 2-5 knots since you just made breakaway thrust. It is maybe a little better if you are in the left seat since you have the tiller and throttles, but still noticeable nonetheless.

Why are you looking outside in the sim? In my experience, they solve that by keeping us IMC the whole freakin' time. ;)
