G force meter?

[mauzer]

Can anyone refer me to a way to see what is my G force during flight?

You can see your acceleration on the Surface MFD, can't you?

If you're flying the DGIV, it has already a built-in G-meter. For any other aircraft, take the sum of the absolute horizontal acceleration and the absolute vertical acceleration and divide by 10, in Gs (aprox.). This will not tell you the G vector thou'.

Ever tried to fly and do math sums and the same time? someone should add a g meter to the surface MFD or another MFD.

This information (the current load in G's) is not a critical flight information.

Yes . Let's just say it wasn't very pleasant :crazy:
This is just and aproximation, since it just takes two vectors (instead of three on a 3D space), the vector summing part isn't right and you have to divide by 9.8, not 10 :lol:

Bwaa?? It most certainly is! As the pilot of an XR-2 ambulance ship I'm often required to not exceed a certain loading; lest the patient we're transporting is made worse..

You can enable all 4 force vectors in the "Visual helpers" menu.
They only show in the outside view afaik. Pausing the simulation helps.

If you need the information in MFD format, you can use the Accelerometer astrosammy posted.

Wrong, it is a pretty useful information especially during reentry, as you can use the g-load for controlling your reentry trajectory.
