Still have to get myself familiar with the menus, settings and how the game/campaign works...but after playing a bit and shoothing down me first Jerry (a Dornier Do17) in a Hurricane
it's satisfying to see it spiral to the ground and go BOOM!
thought I failed to land properly...not because I crashed it..I just didn't know what the brake button was or how to shut of my engine

Ow I spotted that there is a MP option too now

The MP is beta, they released it so it would be easier to get feedback on what all is still broken in it.

As for the campaign, I highly recommend to read the manual, it looks complex, but it really isnt. Or you can just disregard all the campaign menus, the AI should take care of them... I think.

And lastly, it might be old game but I wouldnt recommend putting the particle density to maximum, it kills the performance if there's lots of smoke coming from bombed areas. Medium is what I use and TBH, cant see any difference visually, yet the performance is better.

By default midair collision is off, you can change it from the options somewhere.

Question: Why the hell did I uninstall this game?
Answer: I'm an idiot.

Reinstall!
