Stall warning is based on speed and pitch

The problem
Stall warnings appear to be based on speed pitch. The yellow stall warning/stick shaker activates when airspeed reaches zero, and the red stall alarm activates when descent rate is excessive. Stall warnings do not appear to activate unless pitch is in the red. This creates two problems:

  1. Stall warnings activate far too late to be useful (to me, at least). The angle of attack can quickly exceed 45 degrees without the speed reaching zero.
  2. Accelerated stalls are basically never detected, as the pitch doesn't go into the red despite the speed being quite low and the angle of attack being quite high.

The solution
Stalls should be detected based on angle of attack. Ideally the thresholds for stall warnings would be configurable, as some players (like me) may want more strict stall warnings/protections than others.

An example of an accelerated stall not being detected at all:
