Order of business IMHO: 1) ensure radiator is open to allow cooling; 2) learn how to trim the aircraft, especially rudder and elevator trim since most early fighters don't have aileron (a loose spring joystick helps here, cable ties are just great to reduce spring tension!); 3) keep an eye on the ball & slip indicator and trim with rudder to get true forward flight; 4) focus on prop pitch interactions with throttle to keep the boost pressure under control or risk the dreaded perforated water radiator.

That's pretty much it. The CEM migh be bugged currently above 3-4km of altitude, but it's a good practice learning the right habits early on.
In the long run, if you like flying with high difficulty settings it's something you'll want to learn. I simply can't go back to IL2 just because of the simplified engine modeling.
