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specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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.
Another issue is that the throttle and brake pedals are sent as a single output, meaning you can only use one pedal at a time. If you press both pedals it registers as being fully off both pedals, instead of fully on both. This is unacceptable for simulation racing, as it is sometimes required to be on both pedals at the same time.
Bump. Meh, I might give up soon. YOU WIN THIS TIME, MICROSOFT!
No, FFB isn't working. In Dirt2, the wheel seems to handle like it is a game pad (rigid turns) and none of the tweaks to change the strengths in the game appear to be working either. It appears as if the driver is designed for the xbox360 Gamepad which just happens to work with the Wheel Controller too. I shopped around for other $100 $150 wheels but none have native (out of the box) support for Windows 7 64bit. I will just wait it out for the next generation of wheels which support Windows 7 natively. Luckily for me, Dirt2 is the only game I've bought for the PC to test out 2D Surround with 3 monitors I've recently aquired. All my other racing games are on Xbox 360 for the big screen TV setup. I have a very excellent original Logitech Formula Force Wheel that doesn't work with Windows 7 64bit so unless I dual boot with WinXP, that is a dinosaur play toy as well.
SK2play: But do you have force feedback?
The issue is not that the wheel doesn't work - it works - it's just that there's no force feedback.
