IL2 n00b with questions!

Hi chaps.

Please permit me this ramble... it'll be cathartic, I hope.

I bought the original IL2 when it came out and I liked it, but I never bought any of the expansions. Then last week I bought 1946, which is supposed to be IL2-plus-every-IL2-sequel-and-expansion-ever. BUT... I've installed it and discovered that although there are flyable Spitfires

there's only one RAF campaign

and it's a Hurricane campaign

I've looked around on the web and found DCG which adds another RAF campaign which does include Spitfires, but it's a bit buggy. I also found out about something called Battle Over Europe which, it would seem, is an official expansion which was not included in 1946? Is that right? If that's right, then what else is missing from this "all inclusive" package called 1946? More importantly, what do I have to do to be able to fly a Spitfire in a dynamic campaign?

Please help.
Thanks,
OLC
