Anyone ever get any symptoms? How strong? Like when dealing with bottomless pits or ledges and the like.

Only in real life, and only until rationality comes in. Games? Nope. But a lot of people are freaked out by stuff like that in a game. Or movie.

I'll admit it, I've had it in some fps games on certain maps. I think the worst I got was in Unreal multiplayer on a map with a lot of skyscrapers and rooftop sniping (I think the map was Zeitgeist or something like that) I also got it in Mirrors edge in a few places. I had it watching some movies also (not on tv, only when using our projector) I've never had it in FSX though and that seems strange to me. I like to fly the Ultralight over the grand canyon but it just doesn't get to me like being on a rooftop in other games. I get it pretty bad on Ferris wheels also. the only way I can ride one is if I look straight out in front of me, never down.

Not in games. And in real life, I can stand at the edge of a cliff with no problems... it's when I climbing them and get 3/4's of the way up that looking down isn't a good idea... :)

Not in games, though I have it in real life. Haven't played many games with the opportunity. I do get motion sick in real life and in games.

Games, not what so ever. In real life I do get it depending on the situation, easy in tall buildings (not houses though). Occasionally on cliffs.

Was it dafox that I chatted with once who actually got it in games. I remember someone on the forum I chatted with.

Games I have very sparse very minor cases. Exclusively in urban settings, and I have to be very high up and in a mood where I am like Shit I cant fall (as I would be in real life) so http://www.kzmod.com is the number one game that I ever feel anything from. And thats really only because I can spend 10 minutes climbing up the building look down and go oh shit I really do not want to fall now.

I get it sometimes, though more from high ledges where I can see everything below vs bottomless pits. It has to be a game that really pulls off that feeling well though. For the most part it doesn't effect me, but in real life, you bet. I even get a bit creeped out looking straight down out a window from a high floor in a skyscraper, esp if I can feel the building sway in the wind.

I'll get a twinge of it in some games. In WoW, for instance, I can feel it a little bit when I fly out over the Twisting Nether in Outland.

In real life, it can hit me pretty bad sometimes. There's a walking bridge here in Nashville across the Cumberland river that's about 30 feet wide. I start getting really nervous when I approach the sides, even with the 4 foot railings. I look over anyway, though :).

Ironically, when I'm up in a plane, however small, I have absolutely no problem.

Yeah, me too, that's weird isn't it? I DO get nervous in a small land plane as it approaches the runway though. It didn't help that the only one I've ever flown in was piloted by a neighbor of mine that was practicing his landings via "touch and goes", hopping the plane a bit as he did so. I helped him wash and wax the plane once and he took me around the Puget Sound at dusk. Even let me fly it a bit, very cool. It was a little Piper Cub that he was jointly leasing with a bunch of other coworkers at Boeing.

I have flown in a small sea plane too, and I don't have the same problem landing on water. Something about the reassuring look of the softer surface I guess. I'm sure there are just as many potential dangers landing on water though.
