Steam will only update to the latest official version, we are currently using a Release Candidate which, once fully tested, will be pushed via steam.
In the mean time, you can use the instructions Ataros gave you above.

Although is not required, using a joystick it is a necessity and for things as "simple" as taking off, you will need rudder pedals or a twist handle joystick as the engine torque will pull the plane to one side.

There are bullet holes and oil splatter but the only "gore" you will see is your screen getting reddish when you are hit (or completely black when you are dead).

This is the Battle of Britain. You will not find american planes as they where not yet involved.

At least in my opinion, is a LOT better than single player and depending on the number of people flying, can get really exiting and challenging.

Is a big YES from me. You will encounter bugs and errors but the amount of time you will enjoy it will be more than worth the money.
