Default experience so far......

Hello all,
As a U.S. customer who just got the game 2 days ago, i‘m happy to report so far I'm enjoying the game!!
I have been a Il-2 fan for quite some time since my middle school in 2004, but I have mostly been a casual player, for example I flew offline most of the time and never used CEM in the old IL-2. I can't believe how fast time has gone by because I still remember taking off for the first time in Bf-109F, and i nosed in and crashed on the run way a couple of times before finally made it off. The feeling was soooo rewarding and the realism really astonished me back then.

Yesterday i made a quick intercept mission in Full Mission Builder, just to test somethings like CEM and see how the new game is different from the old one. That astonishing feeling really came back!! It took me some time to get my G940 set up. I messed around with CEM quite a bit, clicked around in the cockpit. I honestly have to admit it is a lot of fun, and graphics look a loooot nicer than the original Il-2. Before I got the game I thought the terrain would be really annoying but it turned out when I'm actually in the cockpit flying, my attention wouldn't be so much on the terrain (the greenness) than on my dashboard and enemy planes. Really the CEM would give you a full plate!!

Now I have few questions I encountered while playing yesterday.
1. How do I adjust the gunsight range based on my convergence 250? On spitfire there is only "increase" and "decrease" gunsight range, but how do i tell how far it is set to? Some general comments on how to use the gunsight are also welcome! as i never got in deep and messed around with gunsight and convergence in the old Il-2 series.

2. Right after I took off in 109, the engine started shaking very badly, and 30 seconds later, a message "Governor Failure" appeared. I had both of my radiator open. What could be the cause?

3. I noticed that in 109 you can't adjust the pitch? I press increase and decrease pitch but the nob always comes back to its original position?

4. Is there anyway to change the location of the texts? as of now all 3 of the messages are overlapping each other on the top left of the screen.

5. What's the difference between oil radiator and radiator?

6. What is a healthy temperature for oil and water?

7. What's a good way of taking screenshots without all the texts and engine setting?

That is all for now. Gtg take a final exam

Hope you guys r enjoying the game as well!

Thanks in advance!
