    Hello!

    I want to ask people who have Xbox 360 controller - does vibration feedback work for you? I tried playing NFS Carbon today, but the joystick is as if its dead. I know there should be some vibration, as it is when played on Xbox 360.

    The problem might be not having the right drivers. Even though I installed the drivers from Microsoft website (some 3.6 MB), they still look a bit generic. I was too cheap to buy XBOX 360 controller for windows, since everybody tells they're the same. Mine came without CD, but I know that in the CD there is some 40 MB of data.

    Any suggestions? Does anyone have the same problem? Also, does anyone have the CD that comes with it, and could maybe make an image and upload it somewhere?

    Thanks!

    Unless the PC version has a vibration feedback feature, I dont think it would work.

    yes, it does vibrate. I played FSX with it and it shakes during touchdown, so how to make it vibrate in other games?

    As I said, it might not shake if the game doesnt support it.

    FSX does support force feedback.

    Of course it supports it - use any force feedback joystick and you'll see. Also, Carbon says it supports it in its readme files.
