I'll back you up on that one dkwookie, thats pretty much spot on how its done. Although personally I find that its better to get a bit the nose up a bit more and try for more rudder turn so that I get more of a vertical loop in to it. It effectively makes a bow shape in my case. It also helps to go full WEP as soon as the nose gets around.

It can be done in realistic as well but its much much harder to do effectively with a pad. A stick and peddles setup might have the best potential for it in realistic mode but I don't know if you can even get that for PS3. The peddles would allow you to get just the right amount of rudder pressure and stick angle so that you get it right on the stall envelope.
