Disorientated during flying?

Has anybody ever gotten really confused suddenly like a braintwist? It happened to me when I was landing at Dallas, I just started suddenly getting confused about everything, runways, downwind etc. I transitioned out to divert to a nearby airport but that was so weird because I have never had that happen before. I felt like I have never been on Infinite Flight ever before…I’m losing it lol.

I think you should be diverting to the doctors.

You’re probably just getting tired.

I was reading some stuff, it is actually more common then I thought and doesn’t necessarily have to be medical. I guesse that’s why in the real world they have two pilots in that cockpit.

Get a rest, don’t stress yourself. Disorientation may be caused by fatigue.

Yea, thanks. That is another problem because you see I also found this RW pilot.

Well actually his may have been related to fatigue.

This once happened to me, but I wasn’t tired or anything.
It lasted 2 mins I think but It didn’t (It’s weird)
It’s not serious until it happens frequently.
I was planning an FPL when it happened.

Same here, I was perfectly alert. It lasted a few minutes for me. It’s very interesting, and very sciencey.
