I have two quick questions about NoLimits;
1. What are the differences/meanings of the three different g-forces shown in the simulator?
I know that the negative vertical g-forces show air time. Does that mean positive vertical g-forces show the forces pushing you down in your seat, like at the bottom of a hill?

2. Say a hill recorded -1.5 vertical g's on a hill, would that mean that the hill has a total of 1.5 seconds of airtime?

1- G stands for Gravity, So iv your standing on the ground you have 1G, The more vertical positive G the more you are pushed in your seat,
the lower the lighter you are,
when the G's go negative its like gravity has flipped so you are lifted out of your seat.

2- The more negative G's the harder you are pulled out of your seat.
so 1.5 G feels like the train is upside down and you weigh 1.5 times as heavy.

Lat G's are the same but sideway's

1. Vertical Gs are upward and downward movements. You know that part. The Lat. Gs are left and right movements. The Acceleration Gs are forward and backward forces.

2. No. If it has -1.5 Vertical Gs that means that the rider weighs one and a half time less then they would with 1 G. If you have -X.XX Vertical Gs for X seconds then that would be calculated as airtime.

@ not 1.5 times less the 1G but 1.5 g less then 0g

1.all the g's shown in the SIM mean the real forces on your body due to the gravity of our planet.
Positive vertical mean exactly what you said:the feeling of being strongly pushed down on your seat.
And the laterals,the feeling of being expelled outside the car on the left or right,even if with the heartlining this is less strong.

2.It's not the time of airtime but the negative force on your body,it means that you fly outside the car without restraints![approve]
