Hi skyvyper,
it seems to me, that you're not really into flying and /or IL2?
I'm sorry if I'm wrong - it is a well-meant question.
Before paying a 100 or more Dollars of your money,
you should be sure what do you want to do?
To fly once or twice, a joystick for 20 bucks or even a second hand one is adequate.
To get into a cockpit and won't come out again - you should consider investing a bit more....
Nowadays I think every joystick is fit for Windows 7.

and they're many more....
Always depending what do you want and what do you can effort and last but not least -
does it makes sense anyhow? :mrgreen:
You may go in one of these big markets - what ever they called in your area, like "Best Buy" or "Buy More" :mrgreen: etc..
take one in you hands, ask if you can test it - then make your decision!
Wish you luck and fun!
