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specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.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 see that the mods are keeping things nice and tidy, if only Microsoft was as responsive to our request..

    Well I created a thread about this here...

    http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistagaming/thread/aa4a4d78-94f7-466c-8be4-d06386bb50d0/

    and this is the response I got...

    Hi,

    The force feedback mechanism doesn’t require a driver to be installed on the computer.

    Some games may not support force feedback. Check the options of the game, and make sure that the wireless racing wheel or force feedback

    feature is set up correctly. For more information about a specific game, see the user manual for the game.

    If the game supports force feedback, make sure that the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel is connected to the AC power supply correctly.

    You can refer this KB article for more information:

    To request for a Windows 7 driver for your racing wheel, you can leave your comments on the Windows 7 feedback link mentioned below:

    I'm impressed I got a response so quickly but it's not really what we're after. Did I say it wrong? Am I being completely stupid? Can we really get force feedback on our 360 wheels via crossfire?
