MS Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 on Windows 7

[Osprey]

Does anyone have this working? I just bid for a stick which I may be about to win because my original brief research seemed positive but now one owner is talking about non-compatibility with Windows 7.


Does anybody have this working already? Please answer before I win!!!!

Hey Osprey. Mine works just fine. Go for it.

It can be made to work in win7 but there is no native support so you have to use 3rd party opensource stuff, but it works.

I know about the native support but still it works flawlessly.

Osprey, I've been watching that stick but managed to win one earlier this afternoon. I thought his comments were a bit strange. Lots of my squadmates run this stick with Win7 and it's just plug and play, m8.

I have no idea what Scarecrows on about as MSFFB2 works flawlessly with Win 7 .............. Plug N Play

FFB editor from above link I've uploaded.

Many thanks

I do not have a FF2 but a Precision pro.It works fine with windows 7.

I seem to recall reading that the FF2 works fine in W7 but the Microsoft software does not.I assume that to be key macros and forces.
