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specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.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.
WillsB3 what is your point about section 1.1.2? we know it's not currently supported but that doesn't remove the fact that it was promised and many of us bought it for this capability.
can you just let us know where your going?
Fantastic work, your right even if we do get Microsoft to budge on this which I feel we should with enough momentum and possibly a lawsuit we may then have to lean on games developers to put FFB into windows versions. But they will already have the majority of the codebase.
DAmn it I want F1 2010 running direct X11 goodies at a native 1920 x 1080p frame. not xbox360s crappy direct X9 internally scaled from 1280 x 720p with loads of aliasing.
I hate Microsoft for this. Not buying any more windows product. www.apple.com

See section 1.1.2 ;)
Don't give up ;)!
Saulo, great research, you clearly have more idea of what you are talking about than I :D. Even if a update to the implementation of the XInput library was required I'm sure it would be perfectly possible (pretty easily). And once that was done a game update would be fairly trivial i should think (In games where full force feedback has already been implemented).
We have to keep going with this guys!
Hi MexicanR,
I have come to the conclusion that nobody gives a toss, i have sent an email to microsoft demanding a full refund, this is what i wrote;
"I am writing as I feel that I have been misled by microsoft when buying this product as they have not delivered the driver support for full functionality on PC as was promised in this web pagehttp://www.microsoft.com/games/en-US/Hardware/Controllers/Pages/XboxWirelessGamingReceiverforWindows.aspx therefore i feel, as i have only in the last two weeks purchased the product feel i am entitled to a full refund. Can you please help me with the process of receiving a full refund so i can then purchase a product from another manufacturer who i am sure will give me better after sales service on a product i have just bought. hopefully you can contact me as soon as possible to organize a refund.
finally I am sure you have done your utmost with dealing with this matter and I am grateful to you, I feel Microsoft's after sales support is very lacking though."
i am done with microsoft, it's totally unacceptable i have wasted money on phone calls as i am sure some of you have and my time, getting told to "phone this number email this place" what a complete waste of time and money having these helplines if no one is gonna help you????????
anyway good luck folks
