I'm thinking now about trying to fix the FFB2 though, or at least finding out what went wrong with it.
IIRC the power plug came out of the unit while I was using it, and when I plugged it back in the whole stick was dead, no red light, no ffb, nothing. It was plugged into it's own USB port and was working fine and had shown no signs of cutting out beforehand.
Just wondering if anyone knows what might have happened to it internally, or where I might start looking if I open it up to check it out.

There's a fuse on the internal PSU board.
You can solder an after market one across the old ones pins.
The rating values are written on the fuse, and depending if the FFB2 has a green light or red, can have different fuse type too.
If I can dig up some old info I will post it here.

I'll check out that other program once i get win7 running again.
Update:
the profile spoftware doesn't seem like it wants to work properly
Change the force or centring to low for example, it will briefly work as it is set, then the joystick will return to full force. I haven't restarted windows yet, but i doubt it will change anything.

You can use
Fedit to change the "spring" file tension in the force feed back folder in the IL2 directory, make a back up of it first be fore attempting to make changes.
EG: Spring adjustment
Open fedit>effect>insert>spring>right click spring2d1>properties
