For other aircrafts such as light aerobatic a/c I have read that ailerons 'against' tend to transform the spin into a flat spin and vice versa (from flat spin to spiraling with ailerons into the turn).
The flat spin is worse but it seems that the spitfire cannot do it as modeled now. And BTW we'll have soon or later an aerobatic ac into the game hence we'll be able to check that with this one hopefully.
See you.

Thanks for the reply! I don't really have much experience or knowledge regarding aerobatics, so that certainly would be interesting. Otherwise with the spit, I found that ailerons neutral got me out of the spin around 2 seconds quicker than any other way, although that might have just been luck as to how the spin was going, but I'll keep that way as for me two seconds could be the difference between smashing into the ground and pulling out with room to spare. You're right though, there was no way to change the spin into a flat spin, it either spun faster or came out.
Perhaps it was just luck that I got out quicker if you experienced no change, but then I suppose that that goes with what I originally said, that there was no way in my test to ensure that each spin was exactly the same and it may have just ended up that the ones where I tried aileron neutral were just easier to get out of, even though I entered each spin in exactly the same way there's no way to replicate the same spin exactly six times over.
Either way, call it superstitious, but now that way worked for me once I'll keep doing it until it stops working
Cheers!
