The one thing I'd like to see is a G-load indicator, maybe a 1/4" inch strip up the left or right side of the screen that would indicate how many G's your pilot was under, simulating the seat of pants feedback a pilot gets in a real aircraft. You don't have to look at your guages to tell you're pulling G's you can feel it. With this you would be aware of your G load just using your peripheral vision.

There is a G meter in all the planes.

You do, it's tunnel vision. Black=negative G's and red = positive G's.

Waiting until you black/red out is not managing your G-Load.

It is acceleration. 1g=9.8m/s^2

You start with tunnel vision and how you handle the situation from there is how you manage your G loads. Since our pilots can consistently take high g levels, the tunnel vision is the only thing to have to really manage and it's gradual so you can let off if need be.

I'm talking about managing G load as it affects AoA (and aircraft performance), not the pilot's physical limits. Managing G-LOC is easy, the visual cues for that are in the game.
