Good advise from Blackdog ,but I would say an hour is not enough with one aircraft.Pick just one ,your favourite, and just try to learn it.
I have spent hours in the 109, and still mess up the engine sometimes. Today I did the cross country ground start mission in the He111, one of my favourites from il2, and was very happy that I managed to get it off the ground ,keep it in the air,and actually land it!
But, I know I was very inefficient in doing it, so obviously a lot more time needed! The work load on the pilots of a WW2 bomber must have been immense.
Even though I have had CoD for about 5 months now, I have not gone anywhere near most of the planes.Just too much to learn with one plane, and thats as it should be.

Wow!!! That is a lot of details!!! Thanks a lot guys!!!! I just love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way, does anyone know that when would the eastern front version of this game come out?? Mr JG52Uther mentioned I should just train myself on my favourite plane. My favourite earlier war plane is the MiG-3 series， and middle war plane is the La-5 series and the late war plane is the La-7 series. So it is actually not in yet. Since this game is still called the "IL-2", so I was just thinking they would still make IL-2 into the game along with the Soviet, right. If anyone know about it, can you please let me know?? Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks again for the help upthere. Now I know a lot. If you guys have a facebook account, please let me know and I'll add you guys.

By the way, what hardware are you guys using?? I have a due core, 4GB ram and a GTX460. Almost enough to run the "wing of prey" on maxium setting. But it is still a bit slow when my setting on the COD is minium.

In my experience clouds on in realism settings gives you a big fps hit as well as shadows on in video settings and of course you have the anti-epilepsy filter off.
Announced yesterday the next update will bring improvements as well.

Oh, and what operating system do you have?

Hey, Guys. I just found a few more button, can anyone please tell me what are they?? Thanks a lot.

The first thing is the "Fuel content Gauge selector", and this is not the same with the fuelcock, and I have not yet used it. So I have no idea what's its for??

"Slow-Running Cut out", this is not the same with the boost cut out, I tried to press it a few times, nothing happened.

"Operate hand pump", is this the fuel pump?? How come we never get to use it??

"Pilot Heater", is this an air condition?? What's so important to have an air condition since we are flying to outside the computer???

Also does anyone know where is the ignition key "I" in the cockpit?? I can't find it anywhere. And everytime I have to shut down the engine by cut the fuelcock.
