Hi,
Has anyone managed to get the Saitek Force Wheel working under XP RC1? I
would love to be able to do some testing of some apps, ok, gp3, and Gpl.

Is it a serial or USB wheel? From what I understand XP only supports USB
game controllers.

Hi,
It's a Serial one. That being said T2 is on the standard list.

Man, if that's the case then MS is kidding themselves! What could be
the reasoning in that?
More reasons to ignore it then :)

I don't think you will have much luck.
I have the Saitek R4 Force wheel.
When Win2000pro and then WinME came out I tried to get drivers for the
wheel.
I contacted Saitek and they said that they were not going to provide drivers
for any new OS's as they have discontinued making the wheel.

I've just recieved an email from their support staff to say the same. But
they say the "The new Force Wheel, the R440, will have support under 2000
and XP."
Tis a pitty since I like my wheel, so I'll have to keep an ME partition
until I decide on which wheel to go for.
