I am trying to use my Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel in Windows 7 using the Wireless Gaming Receiver to connect it to my PC.

It connects fine and I can use the wheel in games, but I'm not getting any force feedback and I don't see it mentioned in the device configuration in the control panel.

This page: http://www.xbox.com/en-gb/hardware/x/xbox360wirelessgamingreceiver/ specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.

Technically, this is a Windows 7 Driver Support question on when then Wireless Gaming Receiver drivers will be updated to provide force feedback support as was promised in the URL the previous poster provided.

I to would be interested in if this work is progressing.  If it has been cancelled you may wish to notify marketing and get them to update the page in question.

Cheers.

    I want the drivers too! I'm running XP still though, not interested in upgrading to Vista or 7, i've had enough trouble with M$'s stuff.

    Honestly though, how hard is it to make some drivers for your own product? Look how many people have found this to ask for them, and how many people do, but haven't even found this page.

    Sort yourselves out, your customer care is awful.

    I also have been waiting for over a year for these drivers first for Vista and now for 7. Please update us on the situation MS.

    This is not encouraging for cross platform gaming if a driver for your own hardware has taken such a long time. When the wheel was released Vista had just been released.... we are now on the next OS.

    Hi my friend,

    I had try to install the windows XP and I noticed that doesn't work as well in Windows Seven, there's no way to make it work the FFB and the vibration on windows yet!

    My suggestion is to buy another racing wheel build to windows only!

    regards,

    Ivan
