Just bought Sturmovik. Need some help from veterans.

Ah, I'd never noticed that. I'd try to get used to flying with torque etc enabled, as soon as you can though - you can develop bad habits otherwise. Some planes are a lot more prone to torque-related problems than others - try the Hurricane it is fairly forgiving. Or you can fly the P-38, where the contra-rotating props effectively cancel each other out.
