Is anybody using this joystick with FSX / Vista? if so how did you get it to work.... i am struggling to find out how.. I would really love to use it.
But if I have to break down and buy another on I guess I will.

I used it ok with XP and FSX with no problems, just plugged it in and XP detected it. I would imagine that the drivers are in Vista aswell.
What exactly is the problem with it?

Tyrone - It won't work with Vista I don't think... It's the one problem that I am not looking forward to when I get Windows 7 installed...

I still have a force feedback 2. I really enjoyed using this old joystick but I quit using it for airplanes since I got my CH yoke and petals. You could try to find some type of driver for it. Mine came with an installation CD when I purchased mine.
