Very interesting thread.
I am still running XP on my old PC, and using Microsoft Force Feedback 1 joystick (yes, I bought it to play with MS Combat Flight Simulator 1, a few years ago...). This joystick is fine for me.
I am pretty convinced that I will need a new PC to run CoD, so this new PC will run Win7 64 bits, and as far as I could see, it will not support my stick.
I really want a force feedback stick, and I was planning to invest in the G940, but after reading this thread I will probably wait until a real fix is found for the Reversal bug for all axis, before spending some money on that stick, and/or keep investigating on a way to have my current stick working under Win7 64 bits.
By the way, is anyone aware of any work around to have the MS FFB 1working (with force feedback) in Win7 64 bits ?
In my current system, it is plugged on the game port of an old Sound Blaster Live! sound card that I use only for that purpose since my motherboard has an integarted sound Blaster Live 24bit chipset that I use for sounds.
Unfortunately, the Sound Blaster Live! card will not be supported by win7 64 bits as far as I could see.
