You can find the 64 bit version of the dpinst.exe(driver package installer) in the latest windows driver kit. Install it and see if it resolves the problem. You can get it from the link below

tgwegge,
Remover all the Force Feedback driver. Instructions here: ftp://ftp.thrustmaster.com/accessories/pc/joysticks/Manuals/Top_Gun_Afterburner_Force_Feedback/TG_FFB_English.pdf
Next, install the new drivers according to these instruction: http://ts.thrustmaster.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=1&fid=3&pid=48&cid=1
If after following the above the joystick does not work, it might be time to look into a newer joystick.
Let me know how it goes.

Really, that is completely up to the user. I have the Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS joystick, and I like that. There are many joysticks out there that offer many different features as well as coming with rudder pedals as well. Really, the biggest factor on deciding comes down to how light you would like your wallet to be after purchase! :)

Yes it is compatible with windows vista. It is a plug and play device and should install itself as soon as you plug it in without the need of installing drivers from the included cd.

I'm not sure which version of windows your using and I can't say for sure on version above Windows XP. You should be able to go to "Add & Remove Programs", sellect "Add & Remove Windows Components". Remove the drivers for the joysticks, reboot your machine then using the same process add the drivers again. This should reinstall the drivers without having to fully reinstall windows.
If this doesn't work, again depending on your version of Windows you should be able to do a "Repair" install instead of a "Full" install this way you won't loose everything. For full details on how to do this go to microsoft.com and search their knowledge base for "Windows install options" or "Windows repair"

Make sure, that your Joystick is compatible with the version you are having problems with. If not, make sure that it's enabled in the configuration of MCFS. If none of those work, you will most likely have to purchase a more compatible Joystick.

Some joysticks are not compatible with certan games for expmple when i am using flight simulator and change to my combat flight simulator i have to change joysticks
the only other thing i would think is try deleting the currently installed driver for the joystick and then download a driver for a joystick that is surported, it wont work as well but at least it might accully work

I am farmiliar with most flight simulators and know that you have to go to settings on the main menu the controls and select joystick, enable joystick and/or calibrate joystick. If this doesn't wok then in gameplay push "alt" on your keyboard if the task bar for flight simulator isn't at the top. Once or if it is allready there select settings and then enable joystick. If this doesn't work then call or contact or google microsoft flight simulator.
