LF X52 help and possibly to join a group, USA timezones preferred

[Comet69]

I'm usually online from 8 to 10 PM US CST time. I am NOT new to IL2, but am brand new to BOS. Just looking for someone/some group to help me get up to speed. I seem to be burning up motors and I just need help setting up radiators, trim settings, etc... on my x52 throttle and stick... any other tips welcome. I have a lot to learn. I am familiar with combat tactics and situational awareness but am completely clueless when transitioning skills to this game. If you are looking to recruit that's cool too. I wouldn't mind flying with a group a couple times a week. I'm 46 years old, so mature folks are preferred. I have TS3 and experience flying in a group. I just have to get up to speed with this version of IL-2. It is very different than 1946 or CloD. I have NOT been playing the game since I bought it due to its differences in controls (controller support seems sorely lacking). Thanks for reading.

Just map the controls like you are used in IL-2'46, so no need memorize different keys combinations.

 

E.g. If in IL-2'46 you use F and V for flaps, map then in the same way in this game., etc.

Haven't seen you online yet, but I have a pretty good x52 setup I can show you that works pretty good with this game. I'm in the same timezone as well.
