Interestingly enough, while I was in the sim, another person was flying and managed to put the aircraft into vortex ring state -- the exact cause of a real-world V-22 crash. That person crashed in the sim, too. The flight controls won't stop you from doing so. But the aircraft does detect flight conditions where it's likely to happen and warns "SINK RATE, SINK RATE" over the crew's headsets. So then it's the pilot's responsibility to knock it off.
