Alright.. my new rig does recognize the stick but I cannot test the forces and neither can I fly AH with it! AH does not find even the whole stick!

Any ideas?

Stick is now functioning BUT centering and forces are not working. I tried to install old drivers but no help.

Have you tried configuring the forces in-game in the controller config section from the clipboard options? I seem to remember having to do something in Vista 32 bit that I did not have to do in XP but can't recall the exact details now other than it being pretty simple. I use an MS Sidewinder.

Yes I have tried that.

The only way that stick is going to work right under Vista is to use Vista drivers. XP drivers will not work under Vista.

You need a 64bit Vista driver for that stick before you have any chance at all in getting it to work properly.

As a matter of fact, if you installed XP drivers, there is a good chance you will have some serious problems with a lot of things after that. XP and Vista drivers are not compatible at all.

In a word, dual boot. Vista for whatever it is you think you need vista for.

And of course XP for flying, gaming, etc.

Unless of course you just trash vista and go back to XP.

Now its working but without forces.. Well, I can live without them but damn , the stall warning buffeting was nice effect, it helped to fly on the edge..

Here's a link to a google search:

While I didn't read everything some people are reporting MS force feedback sticks as working properly in 64 bit Vista. Maybe something here will lead you to a solution.
