Hey guys.
I was just wanting to ask you all if any of you could give me some pointers on how to do a flat spin. I bought the G3 simulator to learn some 3D and aerobatic maneuvers without worrying about crashing my planes but from what I see, the flat spin is not one of the maneuvers the game has on it. So, if you will, please tell me some information on how to do the flat spin.
Thanks a lot!

Inverted flat spins are easier in most planes. Here is how I do it.
Start up high with an outside snap into a spin. (right rudder, left aileron, down elevator) As you are spinning down, slowly neutralise the left aileron, and possibly even add some opposite (right) aileron to flatten the spin. Now play with throttle and or aileron as needed. This is not the only way to achieve a flat spin, but one of several.
Some lightweight planes will stop and even climb with opposite aileron
