First, I should point out to you that the $20.00 that you paid out was not for the Flying Model Simulator software, It was for the USB interface for your transmitter. It was the duty of the sales person who sold it to you to point that out. The software is freeware can be downloaded from this site by anyone.
There are several things you can do to make the planes easier to fly. In the FMS Mapping/Calibration screen, check the "Exp" box opposite the Rudder, Elevator and Ailerons. This will apply an exponential function to the controls which makes the control surfaces less responsive in the center and more responsive at the extremes of stick movement. If you have dual rate switches on your transmitter for elevator and ailerons, switch them to high rate before you calibrate in FMS and then switch to low rate after. Once you have made these changes, you should find that all of the planes and helicopters are much more controllable and realistic (of course, the pattern planes and the 3D planes and helicopters will still be very lively).
Most of the planes are 4 channel, but you will find some that are set up to be 3 channel with rudder only or ailerons only for yaw/roll to simulate an actual model. This is probably the case with the cargo plane.
I hope you enjoy flying in this simulator. There are very many planes and flying fields that you can download. Good flying,
