Su-35... doing something which is a mix between the 'cobra' and the tailslide
For the cobra you have to put the nose more backward, and have a flatter trajectory
To quote the 'Flanker 2' manual about the 'cobra':
Enter with 400kmh IAS (75% power in that sim)
Pitch up to an AOA of 90 degrees, and pitch to 105 degrees (straight up, and then 15 degrees to the back) and let the speed drop to 250kmh IAS
Level off, with about 100 meters difference from the entry altitude, at a speed of 300kmh.
The center of gravity of the aircraft will be moving in a slight bump, and the whole thing takes about 3-4 seconds from pitching up to levelling out
If you want to do the 'kulbit' (cobra extended into a low-speed loop), where you need steerable exhaust pipes for, pull the aircraft through 105 degrees to inverted, then FS won't let you making it through it, but in reality you can complete a loop at very low speed.
And because FS doesn't model intake air correctly, ANY aircraft can do the tailslide whitout getting flameouts and other nasty side effects
