Microsoft Force Feedback 2 Driver
It is comapatible!, running it on windows 7 (64). Search for 'swff2software4.0.zip' on google - found it free on some szech site. Unzip it and run the first setup in the list, it has a small icon infront of it near the top of the list, further down is another setup.exe with the large familaiar box icon that goes to.exe' usually - that one will crash.
If you hit the correct one it will do a simple setup for the sidewinder. After running it unplug and replug in your usb connection and windows and the setup program will recognise it. It works perfectly with all 3 games I ran it with. I'm also running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.I didn't even have to install any additional drivers to get it up and running and the force feedback works great!
I had a feeling it would. Many people say it's not compatible. For these issues it is not a compatibility issue with the operating system.
It has to be something else. Software compatibility issues are more likely the case.So far I have successfully tested it with X-Plane 10, Aerofly FS, and Microsoft FSXMicrosoft Force Feedback 2A+ Compatibility with Win 7 x64No issues what-so-ever!I bought mine on ebay for only $26 and 5 for shipping! Needless to say, I'm a happy camper.One more thing, if you haven't played Aerofly FS yet, Give it a run. If you're into Simulators, this is a definite must for the collection. Happy Flying! Hello, I just registered here but i read this site for years, very helpful. About the controller, although it can kind of function in new systems, the Microsoft controller Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 isn't fully compatible, and it is listed as incompatible for windows 7 in Microsoft site.
But in most games/simulators i tried, it indeed worked fine, but not all I tested, some of the forces are missing. Since I got a little impatience and there is no actual plan from Microsoft on creating an official or new driver for our controller. I just created today a fb page hoping to gather as many owners as possible. So we could demand the new driver for this great controller.
Maybe we can show there are still many users and hope to have a little more demanding power. Just search for 'Updated Driver Request' in fb site and join/invite those who are on the same plane(boat). I still hope for a new official driver. Hello, I just registered here but i read this site for years, very helpful.
