FS FORCE

I foolishly assumened force 2 would work ok with FSX on Vista 64 so I went ahead & bought it.
Now I have found that it doesn't, nothing at all even during installion checks. [registered ok]
I have a Saitek Evo Force joystick which works fine after downloading 64 bit drivers.
Maybe I'm at fault, any ideas as to what I should do next ?

Looks like it just is incompatible with Vista 64 as I've carried out the solution thread & made no differance !

I don't have Vista64 myself, but I know other FS Force users who do, and they have not reported any problems, so I don't think it's the OS.

Try going into Control Panel / Game Controllers/ Properties. Usually there's a tab where you can test the forces on your joystick. Do they work? You might want to contact Saitek support about this.

Thanks for all your assistance, tried that & still no forces, will contact saitek as you suggest.

More info on my last post.
Read through saitek FAQ's, found several with my problem but none of them worked.
Then found one exactly the same & he re-installed the driver & it worked so tried that & it fixed mine to, works fine now.
