Vista drivers Hi, i am using my jostick with vista operating system. it does not seem to enable force feedback when using flight sims. All other aspects work but not the force feedback

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.

O-the sweet feel of a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback lets see if I can be of some help. there could be any number of things going on but I'm going to give this a try. have you checked the settings in Flight Simulator 2004 seems to me that I remember a check box that said disable force feedback make sure that is unchecked. also in the settings for your controller there is a box that says enable force feedback make sure that is checked. then make sure if you are using a firewall like zone alarm you are in gaming mode because this used to give me major headaches with my system to the point I had to detach from the internet and shut down my firewall to play my games. if this doesn't work you may have to reinstall the drivers for the sidewinder this is the last easy option and it should repair any broke links and reset itself into your system. Please let me know how this helped if you need more Ideas just contact me.

Personally I went for the logitech force 3D, it works brilliantly with flight sim X

I am sorry, but I have to tell you that the Sidewinder II is not Vista 64 bit compatible.

Here Microsoft page for Vista compatibility, when they say unknown it means it does not work on Vista 64.

I hope this can save you some time.

Right click on the file you want to use, goto properties then compatibility.

Then check the box that says run this program in compatibility mode for....then choose what operating system you want.

Works perfect on XP. (sadly, no Vista)

Hi,
Download latest Driver for D-link DFM-560IS (Conexant CX11252-41z Chipset) at http://www.downloadya.com/details.php?file=410


I personally tested this driver With XP and not tested with Vista

I tried the above link and it works fine, on a 32-bit Vista. But if you have a 64-bit Vista you might want to try the 64-bit version of this driver, just search around Google for it. Fixed the problem I was having with this joystick not working correctly in Vista (no feedback). Now it works great.

Your in luck I happen to be a Flight simmer also. You need to go into your main menu under settings in Flight sim 2002. You will see enable joystick then you will see cordinated flight or uncordinated flight. You want to select uncordinated flight. Meaning that you will have full control of rudder and the sim will no longer make coordinated turns for you. You will have to add rudder to prevent a skid.
