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specifies that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.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.

    They sell us a VERY expensive WiFi Adaptor for use ONLY with XBOX 360 gear. So Microsoft has to ensure 100%, TOTAL compatibility, and that includes FFB for the 360 wheel. P-E-R-I-O-D

    Although Microsoft has indeed published info about the compatibility of their steering wheel, and the eventual inclusion of ffb for windows...it's a product sold under the xbox 360 banner, and not the win pc banner. Get up off yer lazy duffs, get a job, and by a pc compatible wheel like the rest of us! ffb on my Logitech Momo wheel is quite excellent...spank you all very much!
