hello community…
so I have a question when Pilots refer themselves to a 3 degrees angle when just about to make a flare how would you calculate that in IF?

The tick marks that run up and down on the HUD (the ones that show the aircraft’s pitch) are all in 5 degree increments. So to get a three degree flair aim your nose somewhere in between the 0 and 5 degree mark.
Let me know if this makes sense…

I’m sorry if I am just making this harder than usual but I don’t get to understand that little part

If you look at the image above you can see that…
The red line represents the horizon (a.k.a. 0 degrees)
Green-5 degrees
Yellow-10 degrees
Black-15 degrees
(And so on…)
If you want a three degree flair, point your nose (represented by the white line) in between the 0 degree and 5 degree marks. In this picture, my nose is currently about 3 degrees which is what you want when you flair.
Let me know if this helps…
