Rate of climb data provides a measure of Specific excess Power (Ps). You can then use that value to determine point source 1G acceleration data. In some of the testing I have done in IL2 there was a good correlation between Rate of Climb data and the derived 1G linear acceleration when actually put to in game flight test. I am sure there are some generalisations in this method and I am certainly no mathematician, but its a start. Again I stress its only point source data.

This was the method I used.

Ps = Rate of Climb in units per sec.
g= Acceleration due to gravity (32.2fps or 9.8msec)
V= TAS in fps or mps

1g Accel = (Ps x g )/V

So take an aeroplane with an instantaneous Climb rate of say 20msec at 300Kmh (83.1mps)

1gAccel = (20 x 9.8 ) / 83.1
1gAccel =2.358msec or 8.5Kmh/sec (again its point source data)
