Hi, why am I losing control/roll down the left wing when approaching 1000 TAS? Isn't it supposed to be that the engine should flame out or something? I thought controllability depends on IAS, not TAS...

Airflow separation, you're reaching the critical Mach of the wing. At these high speeds, the upper part of the wing, airflow is probably supersonic, creating a shockwave over the wing (although you're not supersonic), which makes the airflow separate from the wing, making the flight control surfaces very ineffective or completely useless.

 

This highly depends on the local Mach number too.

Check pages 220-222 of the module manual. There the devs explained why they modelled the controlability the way they did.
