Default an exercise for sim pilots -- a 1 G roll

About a year ago there was a spirited discussion about maintaining a 1
G 'straight into the seat' force while doing a roll (let's define a
roll as rotating the airplane, somehow, 360 degrees around its axis
with respect to the horizon). As I rmember the analysis, if you have
enough control authority if you accelerate downward at 1 G and pull
hard enough while doing a coordinated roll you can do just that. A
blindfolded passenger would know the roll happened.

Are there any skilled sim players out there who can do this? I'm
especially interested in what airplanes have enough (simulated) control
authority to pull it off.
