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that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.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

    Hello.

    Yes, it's INSANELY stupid that the MS FFB Wheel's FFB won't work on Microsoft's number one reason of existance: Windows.

    And i'm afraid that the only two FFB wheels availible for XBOX360 are, the official MS wheel (now discontinued), and the Fanatec Porsche 911 S (Discontinued, too, but there's a new one on it's way). Prepare 500 bucks for the Fanatec, thougt.

    so i only just found this thread, as i own a MS wireless wheel, and have only just rebuilt my PC for gaming, and wanted to use this wheel.

    Its disappointing that this wheel wont work with FFB on the PC - not much point really.

    So my question to those watching this thread is, is there another wheel out there in the market that would provide full FFB forboththe 360 and PC? i have an old Logitech wheel which im sure will work with the PC, but i'm hoping to avoid having to switch wheels/pedals on my racing seat every time i want to use a different platform. 

    Do any of the logitechs work with the 360? its been a while since ive researched any of this, so my knowledge is probably outdated.

    Cheers,

    Nick

    I have been chasing MS for a wireless driver with FFB since purchase, both via here, phone, letters and email.

    they just ignore everything, the wireless driver is never going to come.
