Help me get into IL-2 Sturmovick

Okay, so I bought IL-2 some time ago, and I'm having lots of fun with it. Currently watching , which is strangely captivating. However, I find the whole range of x-packs, mods and other add-ons pretty confusing. I've googled, but try as I might, I can't find any web sites that lays everything out neatly for me.

So currently my wishlist is the following:

The Norwegian theatre (not that it was much of an action-filled theatre, but hey, I still wanna fly there).
The Spitfire and P-51. Can I download these as free content?
The Western front (I understand this is added by the Battles Over Europe x-pack?).

Also, as far as I get it, Pacific Fighters is a stand-alone game, not an x-pack, right?

Okay, so that's my wishes and questions. In addition, can anyone give me any recommendations for mods/x-packs/general DLC? I'm currently running vanilla IL-2 and nothing else.

Edit: I also understand there's a third-party campaign generator? If this is anything like SH3 Commander, I'll probably want that, too, right?
