 IL2 was my favourite

 

What version is it?

There have been a number of CD's / DVD's about with the IL2 Label/Brand on it ... lots of versions ... 1.x Sturmovik, 2.x Forgotten Battles, 3.x Pacific Fighters, 4.x 1946 ... if I remember correctly....

 

Any error messages?

Same here. Switched to Win10 and tried to install my sims. RoF worked, but Il2 Sturmovik1946 won't. The DVD is in mint condition, but PC can't even read it. Simply keeps stuttering on the disc.

Can you see the data on the CD in explorer, or is the whole CD not seen? Can you export it as ISO with a CD copy program? CloneCD is quite good.

You could try open that exported ISO with WinCDEmu (3.6 is the version i use most).

Had the same problem once,from memory I went into the CD/DVD and selected the "a" file .Clicked on that and it loaded up!
