Arrow Just bought Sturmovik. Need some help from the veterans.

Hi. I bought Sturmovik 1946 two days ago. I've been looking for a WWII flying game and I was told this was "the one". Not to mention my surprise when I discovered how detailed and realistic the game was. However, that fact did not scare me, and I decided to take the patient route and learn to fly lesson by lesson.

The thing is, I have no idea how to get started. I've read the entire manual but it fails to go into detail about all the plane controls. So here are the things I want to know:

1) Anything you can recommend to help me learn how to fly. Any more reading materiel out there? Better training missions to download? I was hoping the game would provide segmented tutorial, like learn how to take off, land, plane components, forces, but all it has are videos. Although they explain things well, I would like to get the feeling for myself. Can I practice landing in the editor?

2) What does enriching the fuel mix effect?

3) What does softening the fuel mix effect?

4) What's a radiator? What does it effect?

5) What are plane elevators?

6) Propeller Pitch? What does that do?

7) What campaign would you recommend I start first after I finish my training?

8.) Oh man, superchargers? Sounds abstract.

Things to consider if you decide to answer my questions (nice you )

I KNOW: Basic physics, pretty much what's torque, g-force, lift..... I know I need to be patient and practice a lot.
I DON'T KNOW: Much about WWII planes but I'm here to learn. I'm no pilot so I don't know much about flying (except some basics including basic maneuvers) either but I want to learn.

Thanks, sorry for the length and sorry if I violated any posting rules. And sorry I'm such a noob .
Regards
