Couple of more things, assuming your head hasn't exploded from information overload yet.

The advice to not use WEP is very good, just be aware that besides the WEP you have to push a button for (usually water or ethanol injection, or even nitrous!) there is also the 100% to 110% range on your throttle. On the real planes you often had an "approved" full throttle setting, and an extra 10% for when the xxxx hit the fan. In game it's best not to fly around at 110% throttle all the time, because you'll incur a big overheat penalty. On most planes you can dip into 103% or so without too much trouble, just experiment a bit with the planes you like to fly.

No 2 has to wait, I gotta go.......

Have fun!
