I've ALMOST got Free Track working now (though I'm still waiting on my 3-point hat to come in the mail).  I'm using a D-Link dongle, and the free version of Bluesoleil.  The Wii remote connects with no problem and just playing around with the TV remote as a light source, I'm getting 90-100FPS and JPS of about 38-40.  I've tried it in IL2 and the remote works for panning the view around.

However, whenever the Wii remote is connected to my computer, IL2 will not recognize my joystick.  If I go to hardware setup in the game, it acts as though the joystick just doesn't exist.  As soon as I disconnect the Wii remote, everything functions fine again.

Any Ideas?  I'm assuming/hoping that there's just something simple in the output settings etc. that will fix this.  Thanks.

* UPDATE *

I've found a way to get it working.  It works if I start IL2, them minimize it, and connect the Wiimote while it's running, it will still recognize the Joystick.  So....FreeTrack and the Joystick now work at the same time.

If anybody has any advice though, I'd still like to find a fix for this.  Thanks.

First sorry for my poor English! : D As the Wiimote is recognized by Windows as a joystick, it takes a hardware ID in the list of joysticks, depending on the configuration of your system, it shifts the ID of your joysticks. But no problems with that, you just have to reallocate IL2 commands to your new Joystick ID.
