It's a long standing bug that the AI will fly at "ludicrous-speed", and the problem was even worse in PF where the AI will all just ram each other head-on.
The Val has no gear indicator. Perhaps it's a bug, or just a flap indicator. Mind posting a screen shot to show us what you're seeing?
Mixture doesn't have a gauge. You lean to attain peak RPMs and usually just enrich slightly to keep temps down. In other cases you can lean beyond peak RPM and get better range, but it was feared to cause detonation in some situations. TLDR: just look at the tachometer.
Il-2's mixture system is pretty basic, and you only need to lean just a little bit every thousand meters or so.
