WOFF gives you the warning "Over-G" or something like that (as we don't have a pilot's belly- or bum-feeling to judge). Then it will tell "Damage through high G". But if you perform a steep dive with too much throttle in an Albatros D.III or D.V, there may not be time for these warnings - the lower wings will break apart.
If you must dive steeply in an Albatros D.III or D.V model, then reduce throttle almost fully, and don't dive longer than a 100 meter fall. Still no guarantee...
The Albatros D.II was rugged - it didn't have that sesquiplane wing.

PS: Never pull out hard from a steep descending dive - that may break even the strongest wings.

Whew. Guess I have been lucky so far then. I have been throwing the Alb around like it was a P-47. Ok...maybe like a Spitfire. Over-G message? Don't I need a setting on for that to appear? So far I have never seen any message such as "Auto Pilot" etc. Shift + D key combo turns msgs on and off

Over-G Damage can come very quickly (apparently)- I had the Wings of an Alb3Early torn off in a freaky maneuver, once, without any warning. Okay, I admit, I really begged for it... nevertheless, the Albs withstand a lot of punishment. If you don't want the Messages on Screen, try the "Human-Meter" by checking the Over-G Effects in the Workshop Menu... don't let your Plane do things, that would make you unconscious LOL
Before Over-Speed Damage takes place, the Plane generates Noises so terrifying, that you'll "step off the Gas" voluntarily.
