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that the wheel should have drivers available for Windows Vista in the future (I am guessing this page is well out of date) with force feedback but I can't find mention of these drivers anywhere.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

    OK, quick follow up. Complaint has been officially lodged with the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). I've received an automated response saying they will call me in the next couple of days to get further details. 

    fantastic mate, keep us updated!

    Have you followed through MJW74? would be interesting to see how this one plays out

    Not yet. Have been very busy and haven't got around to it yet, plus two other reasons.

    1. I bought a Logitech G27 and very happy with it, so Microsoft Wheel is no longer used.
    2. My sister is a lawyer and she said I'm probably wasting my time lodging a complaint through the consumer law channels.

    However, I will lodge a complaint with the Department of Fair Trading and see how it goes.
