Check your game's box or manual for this information. Force feedback functionality for the SideWinder Force Feedback Pro is available only in games developed under Microsoft DirectInput API 5.0 or later. If you have an earlier version of the SideWinder Game Controller software, it is not necessary to remove it before installing SideWinder Game Controller software 3.02 unless you want to install a different language than you were using previously. If MS were to provide native FFB support the huge popularity of MSFS in PC and soon in XBox would make consumer level FFB devices (especially XBox compatible ones) a very good business prospect.If you have one of the following SideWinder devices, make sure you have version 3.02 of the SideWinder software: FreeStyle Pro, Game Pad, Force Feedback Pro, Precision Pro, Standard, and Force Feedback Wheel. Just none at the mass consumer price point that Thrustmaster/CH etc market their products at, mainly because there was simply no demand in P3D or XPlane for a consumer level FFB Yoke or stick.
There are of course plenty of FFB devices available, Brunner yokes and pedals for example. Which is nonsense, it is like saying I refuse to use a flight yoke at all unless it is exactly identical to the one in the plane I am flying.
If you brought up Force Feedback in an XPlane or P3D forums the typical response was “I am not interested unless the forces can be verified to be exactly how they are in the real aircraft under all flight conditions”. There are plenty of Force Feedback wheels for racing sims, it is just Flight Sims were a dying market, partly due to the exit of MSFS which only left the elitist study level sims and no mass market. MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro is from 1997 too… From a business perspective, adding a support for a nearly extinct hardware is a waste of time.
