I've searched to no avail...I'm assuming they don't exist? Any workarounds? I haven't built a new system yet but I'm getting ready to and I'd really like to go the 64bit route but my MSFFB2 looks at me with those puppy dog eyes smile I don't want to leaver her behind! (I'll buy a new trackir if I have too...she's always been a bit of a princess).

I have carried both my msffb2 and Tir3 (vector) over to my new Win7 64bit rig w/o any issues smile
Stick was recognized, no drivers needed. Tir3 just needs the natural Point software and good to go.

Same as above. MSFFB2 drivers are part of windows driver package. Only real issue is there is no profiler for it. Not a problem for me as I just assign buttons in game. But others have seen this as a real issue.

If you just need to emulate the keyboard or mouse with the SWFFB2, there are several utilities for that. Can't help you with configuring the FFB effects outside of games/sims, though...fortunately, those that do support FFB allow you plenty of control over the forces, and I don't mind the default centering force at all.

If the TrackIR 3 still works with the latest driver packages, then that's a good sign. Plenty of longevity with it, especially with the Vector Expansion. (I'm a TrackIR 4 user, though, bought used shortly before the TrackIR 5 released. It still serves me well.)
