I will try again. Not as expert, nor a rl pilot, but common sense applies by looking at the doghouse graph.

If
you fly straight
at top speed
at sea level
with full tank of gas

conclusion 1:
your are in the flight envelope

if you then
roll your plane 90 degrees left or right
and pull back on the stick
without exceeding the structural load limit

conclusion 2
you will experience ever increasing g force
you are still in the flight envelope

if you continue to
pull back on the stick
in an ever increasing fashion

conclusion 3
you will eventually hit the stall limit line via high speed stall.
You are no longer in the flight envelope at that moment.
you must pause the game at that moment in time, because
you have just found the peak of the doghouse
where load limit (g) line and stall limit line intersect at the maximum instantaneous turn rate of the plane you are flying under the current flying conditions.

For practical purposes,

The actual value of the turn rate is irrelevant.
The actual value of the turn radius is irrelevant.
The actual value of the g limit at that moment is irrelevant.
Blackouts can be made irrelevant, if they are turned off for testing purposes.
The IAS at that moment in your turn is relevant for the given flight conditions. As a player, that is the value you are after. You must sustain that speed for best cornering. Unless you are trying to “game” the game, so to speak. In that case, it is legitimate to call your motivations behind this thread into question, imho. If this information is incorrect, please, anybody, point it out. I would really like to know how it is off topic or incorrect or flaming or wth.

This post, similar to what I made earlier today and was deleted. It is not my fault CloD failed (off topic).
