If you just got 1946 you're probably running 4.07. Currently everyone is running 4.101, so you need 4.08, 4.09, 4.09 skinpack, 4.10, 4.101. They can be found at Mission4Today if you register.
Everyone connects online using Hyperlobby, and you can download this for free. Just be sure to have the latest version of the game.
Lastly, invest in a stick. It will make control much smoother and easier.
Have fun!

+1 -- UP 3 is over 6 gigs. You need that right away before you even know how to fly the sim? Just to use the trim at all correctly takes time.
At least check your 4.101 install and if you have room, copy the folder somewhere to have a working backup.
As far as stick, either get rudder pedals (highly desireable) or make sure that the stick is a twisty-stick for rudder control. Ability to control rudder well makes a large difference in how fast and well you will fly. Other things to look for in a stick are hats and buttons, sliders and/or rotary dials. More -is- better but budget... online you can get a cheap minimal but workable twisty stick for about US$25, less on special maybe.
Look into TrackIR but also check into Cachya (Google the name).
