HELP!!!! I just bought IL-2 and there are two major problems:

1) the game automatically plays on ONLY 50% of my monitor--another words, the screen is tiny and doesn't fill my entire monitor. Is this supposed to be like that? Also, the pointer from the mouse is trapped inside that tiny game screen, and I cannot get it outside unless I end the game.

2) I have a Joystcik (and HOTAS ) and put that in the settings (the game doesn't have any settings for a HOTAS) but the game only plays with the mouse!

I really want to play this game. What am I doing wrong? I restarted my computer after downloading and installing the game. It is also a brand-new, state of the art, gaming computer with 32GB DDR4-3200MHz, so it should play fine.
