Hi there I've been wondering how to do a flip in realistic and arcade(if you can flip in arcade) Wats the controls to do the flip online. I have a PS3 so PS3 controls. I want to confuse ppl with the maneuver.

are you talking about doing half a snap roll??? or a loop? or half a barrel roll? if its a snap roll i havent been able to get any plane to do it on xbox. i havent gone through all of them and all the setting yet tho...

a tumble??? nose over tail?? that'll confuse'm alright..haha...they will be confused as to what target to hit next after waxing you. you would be better off kicking it into a spin if you want that kind of maneuver...much more easy to recover. but you are basically dead in the water and easy picking if your aversary has distance on you. a tumble, i dont know if you can get into one...maybe in real or sim... the stuff is fun to mess with in a non combat situation...

but here try this:

The classic Lomcevak is entered from a 45° up line, at cruise speed or below, with full throttle applied. To begin the maneuver, full right rudder is applied and held simultaneously with full left aileron and full down elevator. The response varies considerably from aircraft to aircraft, but the usual result is a graceful end-for-end tumble on all three control axes, finishing with the aircraft in an inverted spin.

Just sounded like a hawx-esque move..

Is it the move that bobbysocks suggested? is it a forwards or backwards tumble? Is it even a tumble? I'm just curious now..

the slickest move i ever saw was when we went to the gathering of mustangs a few years ago and they had an F22 going throuhg its routine. it did a 3/4 tumble....basically did a 180 at a stand still. i couldnt believe my eyes but he did it several times....now this would be a killer move! reverse direction on a dime....but that aint happening with these type of aircraft...

crosshair, i hope you dont think i was making fun of you or trying to put you down. if that is the impression you got i apologize....that was not my intention at all.
