IL2 Sturmovik windows 7 installation-newbie

[Pfeil]

At this point you're probably better of getting IL2 1946, unless you have a very specific reason for sticking with the old version.

You can get it cheap second hand, get it via Good Old Games or get the "new" Ultimate Edition, which is the same as regular 1946, just not produced by ubisoft.

Did you try to copy the complete directory from XP to Windows 7?
And then run Il2fb.exe from the game dir.
Il2 FB is pretty old and if you can get the il2 1946 dvd cheap, you will have a lot more. It contains the full game, with all official addons and patched up to 4.07(or later,can't exactly remember).

Best place to buy Il-2 1946 that I know of, decent installer that works fine on Win 7 and you can even download a single patch file that brings it right up to 4.12.2.
