Hello again,
Well, you need to be patient. Perhaps, you need to adjust your joystick settings? Maybe, reduce the influence of the rudder axis (Z-axis?). Other than that, patience is required. Think of it this way, it takes a lot of time, dedication and skill to fly a real piston engine fighter aircraft. WWII fighter pilots did not master this in a day, or two. There is a very steep learning curve to this game. Some aspects of it take months or more to master. However, even after almost ten years on the market, it is still one of the best (if not THE best) WW II flight simulator games available.
As was suggested by others above, in order to get used to the "feel" of flying in IL-2 Shturmovik, perhaps you can select a two-engine plane first. Using a P-38, or a Beaufighter would get you around having to deal much with the problem of engine torque. Or you could use a jet, such as a Me-262, or an Ar-234, or the YP-80. However, jets pose other challenges. For example, with the Me-262 and the Ar-234 (and some other German jets) you have to advance or reduce throttle very slowly, otherwise the engines will catch on fire. This is another historical aspect that was modelled in the game, because German WW II jet engines really did this.
Just check first, whether hardware and software settings are correct. If they are, then you can select different aircraft to pinpoint where the problem is.
Good luck and have fun!
