pitot tubes just measure longitudinally forward airspeed (ie the direction the plane is going). altimeters measure asl (above sea level) altitude, and gyros measure angle of attack and accelerations.
I believe there is a way to tell stall just from altimeter and gyro readings when combined with state information (flap position, gear up/down, &c.) about the plane.
great points about the ui design, though.
i think the biggest issue, though, was the controls not announcing (either through force feedback or a blaring alarm or an urgently blinking light) conflicting input on the control sticks. does anyone know why this is a feature in the first place?
