Yeah, somebody else told me to start with the earlier il-2 game, but I don't wanna. Is that crazy? I can't think of a better reason not to than "I don't wanna." Haha. This game, from all the vids I've seen, looks so freaking amazing.

My specs are i7950, 6gb ddr3 ram, and a gtx 580, so I should be able to play it on medium. And, hey, if I have to go through some patches to play it on high detail, then I'll wait.

Yes you can use the hatswitch.
All controls, view, camera, plane, etc... are fully customizable from setup.

You should consider buying IL 2 1946 , it's very inexpensive , after you do
visit this website and the people there will teach you how to become a good pilot.
They are a great group of people and make learning fun

I bought cliffs as my first flight sim (well first since on Amiga500 or something), few days later I have picked up il-2 1946 also, so much content for the price.

I have trackir envy also

Ebay is a great place to find TrackIR for cheap. I picked my TrackIR 4 for $50 on ebay.
