Would someone flying a fighter in space feel the same type of "g-forces" pulling complex maneuvers that a fighter pilot here on earth feels?

Assuming you took a small space fighter (think X-wing or Tie fighter) and placed it in a vacuum sufficiently far away from any major planetary body to the point where the gravitational force is 0: would they feel g-forces? Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the g-force is really the normal force of the earth acting counter to the force of gravity so if there were no gravitational force then you wouldn't feel any g forces.

Yes, they'd feel it. The math for acceleration is the exact same math as gravity.

To wit: if you were in deep space and accelerated 9.8m/s and stepped on a scale, your weight would be the same, you could only jump as high as you can now.

Gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable.
