Free Falcon

So way back when i M$ Sidewinder ForceFeedback Pro Joystick. That thing was unreal! now to me it still seems like the single most solid joystick ever created but M$ has been uber lame about supporting it, yes its old, no that doesnt mean im ready to give it up, modern joysticks look weak and cheap next to it, plus it had unreal force feedback with dual motors, none of this spring loaded stuff. Anyways it was built on windows 98, well they no longer support it past that. AKA not even in XP, apparently you can use default drivers with it, but then you lose the Force Feedback as well as any ability to switch your buttons or calibrate. This stick was a thing of beauty, now it is just a piece of M$ legacy that they dont care about

BTW im trying to hook it up to play free falcon 5, pretty sick looking combat flight sim!
