MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 when microsoft will provide a driver 64-bit windows 7 for this big joystick.
I can't believe!
I paid a lot of money to change from windows xp to the so-called wonderful windows 7 64 bit.
and I can't even use my joystick microsoft sidewinder forcefeedback 2 more that microsoft can't be arsed to write a pilot for their own hardware update!
Kudos to microsoft for stick two fingers up to your customers once more.
I already had to give up a good number of programs and pieces of hardware for win 7 but my forcefeedback 2 is a sacrifice too far!
I can see on this site, I am far from the only frustrated playing flight sim card client Microsoft windows 7 (ie: poor sap) requesting:
When will get an updated driver for the sidewinder forcefeedback joystick 2?
Thanks in advance,
Martin.

Original title: Joystick Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 8 victory Flight
I have recently upgraded to windows 8 and now need drivers for my MS sidewinder force joystick feedback 2 use my FSX flight sim. Anyone know where to find the drivers?
I recently bought Microsoft Flight Sim X on stream. I've performed under a victory 8.1 HP laptop. I am lucky to have a Microsoft sidewinder force joystick feedback 2 which was a purchase of second hand many years ago.
When I connect it via USB the software automatically recognized and installed the driver suitable for the start and reports in devices like a sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick.
Initially using the properties and the calibration does not register any input the joystick game, but as the result of a reboot or run the program MS Flight Sim X everything works perfectly.
Calibration running confirms all the buttons and wheel and look at a hat all them light up and work 100%!
For reference, I am on windows 8.1 and have the auto update on.
So in summary, you should find that you need not track down the drivers and plug and play works, simply because of my experience.

Loading of joystick Sidewinder FORCE Feedback 2 on VISTA
I have a new computer with Vista and got close to loading Microsoft Sidewinder FORCE Feedback 2 disc to use with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and have problems loading.
The run.exex crosses all the guests, is the copy program and then copy the profile. At this point, I get a warning box "Are you sure you want to exit the installation of Sidewinder Forcefeedback 2" with the Yes or no boxes. If I click No this just SID and does nothing. Click Yes, and naturally it closes.
I expect to see a message from LOADING software will then ask to connect the gamepad and proceed to step 2, which is testing.Flying geezer
See this. Looks like it has worked for other people. I have not tried to take it for what its worth.

Hello
I am registered for the new program to update xbox live dashboard beta and I was wondering when microsoft will likely make the product keys available for this update will take place. I waited more than 24 hours now and I find it unacceptable to keep the people waiting for such a highly anticipated update.
did anyone know when these product keys are likely to become available because I'm starting to lose my patience now.

I would check the updates on the site of Major Nelson
When I made the beta for the dashboard they usually come out in waves. You just need patience because there is no time to get it.

Is it possible to convert Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel USB device?
Original title: sidewinder force steering wheel feedback
I have a fairly old sidewinder force wheel sterring feedback, which is a plug connection, not usb. Is it possible to convert / and if you also think that it will work?
HelloI doubt if this would be converted to USB connection since it's an old device that is compatible with XP only. For the best experience in games, I personally suggest you to upgrade the perimeter game, for example, Microsoft SideWinder Mouse.For more information on this product, please see the following site:If you have any suggestions for us, you can post them here .

When Microsoft will release SP1 for Windows 7?
I'm curious as to the criteria that Microsoft uses to determine where they should go out a certain Service Pack for their operating systems. IM counting 43 updates already installed for my OS to Windows 7 and this OS is officially released less than a month. Im not here to complain the number of patches. Its impressive speed at which they release security patches when they occur. But my complaint would be more to have to download and individually install all these fixes in the future, if I were ever a reason any. Once again, what my question is, when can we expect the first Service Pack 1 for Windows 7, and what criteria are going to Microsoft during this decision to release a Service Pack?
P.S. For the record I think that its sad that Microsoft does not release a Service Pack 4 for Windows XP. IM already on Windows 7, but many people don't. Even if the system fades into history, it all seems like the right thing to do given the number of a security updates for the operating system from the SP3. System configuration: Winndows 7 RTM, Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3L motherboard, Intel Pentium Dual - Core E6300 Wolfdale 2.8 GHz, 4 GB of memory PC-1066 DDR2 Patriot Viper, 500 GB Western Digital hard drive, GeForce 8800GT Videocard
