Losing control over my plane, need help understand why it happens and how to avoid it.
Sometimes when i take a turn my plane will suddenly spin downwards out of control, this often happends with the Fw 190 A-1 plane.
I'm not sure why this happens and what i can do to avoid it?
Could someone explain to me in detail how to avoid it and get back control. (if it is possible to get controll back?)
The spin looks like this: https://youtu.be/bvbS-oHi9ro?t=48s

You stalled it. You have to keep an eye on your air speed. If you stall out, the plane literally comes to a near halt in the air and then begins to drop like a rock.

In an FW, that should be nearly impossible unless you're trying to turn fight and run out of speed or climb too quickly.

That plane can only reach that speed in a dive. 500 kph or mph? If it's mph that's a bit too fast. The air frame can't handle that kind of speed well, so if you barely mess up it's going to send you tumbling out of control. You have to be very careful going that fast in a dive. You can't just yank controls around at that speed. You have to be very, very gentle and use the keyboard to help balance the plane.

Ahh ok thank you! i'm doing the exact opposite of what you just said so it's probably that then :)
Thanks for the help!=) will hopefully avoid spinning anymore. =p

Don't pull hard G's for to long either. Your pilot can pass out for a few seconds if you put to much stess on him and you will have very little controll over the aircraft for those few seconds.
