After downloading the software, you'll want to read the "Help" section (
menu) just to get a basic overview of the commands and how to work the radio. If you really want to stick with this sim, it never hurts to give a quick read at
http://www.netaces.org.The Spitfire IX is the easiest plane to fly with some success, but even so, don't expect to do well online right off the bat. In fact, you might want to practice in the "offline" mode just to learn the commands of raising/lower gear, setting your views, working the rudder, and basic gunnery.
Since you don't have a joystick, I'd suggest learning to work the ground vehicles, like the Panzer tank and the Ostwind. They're slow enough that you can control their movements with a mouse or trackball pretty easily. Focus on this part of the game until you get the motivation to invest in a joystick.
If you have questions, you can always visit the "Help and Training" message board or ask over the radio online.
