  It is rediculous to allow pilots to maneuver their planes in a blackedout condition, this was not even allowed in "old" dos AW, why is it allowed here in this new game???

U can maneuver in blackout for a very short period of time.
u can't evade indefinitely while blacked out...
In AH not RL

 You can maneuver indefinitely while blacked out at at least 3.5-5 Gs. Only your vision is affected at this point. Your motor control, speech and hearing are not impared.
 That is based on my personal experience.

 GLOC (gravity-induced loss of conciousness) occures at about 9+ Gs after a few seconds, but WWII planes never reached 9Gs in one piece.

I think that The f4U could do it.
