Good Grief!
No joystick until now?
Mate, you're just about to start on the road to discovery of what it's all about. I kinda envy you in a way!
I'm assuming the stick has a 'hat switch' for looking around? Twistable rudder control?
Back when I had a logitech 3D Pro, I assigned all the buttons on the base to elevator up and down trim, rudder left and right trim and flaps up and down. I don't know how many buttons yours has I'm afraid.
You can use the redundant left/right/up/down arrows on the keyboard for prop pitch increase/decrease and mixture increase/decrease controls.
Buttons on the top of the stick can be arm bombs, bomb doors open and drop bombs.
But you'll soon come up with your own arrangement which suits.
Happy new stick!
