an exercise for sim pilots -- a 1 G roll

Duncan, the 'roll' I'm talking about would NOT be felt in the seat of
your pants -- it would be one G down into the seat throught the entire
roll. Kyle's observations in this thread are more on target. Done
correctly in an airplane it would feel exactly the same as it would if
it was flown while gaming it on a sim in your home office.Not quite. You wouldn't be at exactly 1 G throughout the roll, so at
times you'd feel as though you were rising or falling (though not
necessarily in a dramatic way).


You are incorrect.

There is a flight path, taking into account roll, pitch, yah, and
thrust, that will result in a complete roll with an g meter indicating
1 G into the seat. Elsewhere in the thread someone indicated a solution
for the last part of the problem, namely if entered from straight and
level the airplane would be going down at about 75 kts at the end of
the roll.

The question I asked at the start wasn't if the flight path exists --
it does -- but rather, is there an airplane that has the control
authority to fly it.

My real life airplane, an M20, may not be flown at more than 30 degrees
pitch or 60 degrees bank, but those kinds of limitations do not apply
to someone who games on a flight simulator, or who has a suitably
certified airplane. My OP request was to have someone who is skilled in
simulated flight see if their simulated airplane had the control
authority to fly that flight path.
