Ooops, sorry but.........y'know. Been trying to get my hands on one for ages but they do seem to get snapped up quickly and not cheap now either. I think RoF and CoD has increased demand.

Good luck. They still seem to come up fairly often.

Great stick. Bought mine brand new back in the day :) Haven't had a single issue with it. *knock on wood.

MS FF2 USB work in Wi7 with Windows native HID drivers.

What dont work is Microsoft programing software.

No major problem, just assign buttons in game GUI, or if are used to "program joy buttons to press keys"... use freeware keymapper like SVMapper, JoyToKey, Autohotkey... Or payware (10$) Xpadder.

To tune FF effects edit proper files - in case of CloD locate in
....\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover\parts\core\FF

With FFedit1 = http://www.mediafire.com/?0v99r1lbhhmeblh

Ive been using my red button MS FFB Pro2 USB with both IL2-46 and IL2-COD
on Vista Home Premium without the Sidewinder software. The force feedback
works great and I like it better than either my TM Cougar (FCC1) or WartHog.

The last Windows OS where the Sidewinder software worked is on my WinXP
system. There are ways to get it to run on Vista or Win7, but why bother.

As it was said before, just map the stick buttons right in the IL2 control GUI.

THe problem I have with IL2 and controllers, is if you use TM MFDs, you have
to unplug them else they mess with the joystick IDs that the stick needs.

Is your hand on the stick? Does not work unless the IR sensor is covered.
