Force Feedback on Xbox 360 Racing Wheel using Wireless Gaming Reciever in Windows 7

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specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.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 have no doubt it would be trivial for SOMEONE to do this little project at MS.

    hey guys, has anyone tried creating a new thread which links to this thread because it seems as if they are ignoring this thread which was started 9 months ago... which they probably think they have answered.

    Force Feedback is not currently available for the Racing Wheel in the Windows. (according to wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_Wireless_Racing_Wheel#Criticism)
