Bonjour,
 
Comme vous le savez Thrustmaster a abandonné ce joystick à retour de force en ne proposant plus de pilote depuis vista sp1.
Le joystick fonctionnais cependant avec le pilote vista sous windows 7 jusqu'à l'arrivée du SP1 et du SP2 vista, entrainant un BSOD au branchement du joystick avec les pilotes thrustmaster.
 
Thrustmaster a indiqué qu'il ne développerai plus aucun pilote pour ce joystick "ancien", alors que les autres constructeurs eux assurent le support de leurs "vieux" produits.
 
Voici un pilote modifié permettant d'utilisé ce joystick sous 7sp1 et vista sp2 et 8.x (32 et 64 bits) tout en conservant le retour de force.
Testé sans soucis sous windows 7 sp1 x64 et Windows 10 pro x64 TH2

Edit : Sur les dernières versions de windows 10, le pilote thrustmaster refonctionne correctement sans BSOD.
Tous les effets de retour de force fonctionne, cependant l'interface de paramétrages du joystick ne fonctionnent pas.

Ajout d'une procédure et d'un logiciel pour la désinstallation complète du pilote.

Bonjour Choumi,
 
Merci beaucoup !
J'ai un Thrustmaster afterburner force feedback (version 1) sous Windows 7 64bits.
La procédure fonctionne impeccablement.

Wens

Bonjour Choumi,
 
je ne parle beacoup de francais:
 
Thank you for your effort and I would really like to try your fix, but the link is not working anymore. Could you please upload the file again?
 
Merci

Sure
 
Fichier remis en ligne chez un autre hébergeur.

Plz, repost link, http://www.sendspace.com/file/idaar3 is dead.....
Best regards

Reupload sur le premier post

Very thanks! work great!

Oups, le fichier n'est plus là, tu pourrais le remettre en ligne ?
J'aimerai bien réutiliser mon Thrustmaster  FFB sur Win 7  

ok reupload avec la partie Windows 8

Hi,
 
I just wanted to thank you for this modified driver. I've installed it with the HOTAS and it tests perfectly with that Siatek force test control panel.
 
It got me thinking,  would you be able to modify the driver for a Microsoft Sidewinder force Feedback 2  joystick,  so it also uses the Saitek control panel and can have its force feedback tested in the same way.  On windows 7 x64.  As you might know there is no force test for the basic drivers, and to have this Saitek control panel for the MS sidewinder Force feedback 2 would be fantastic.
 
Are you able to do this.
 
 
Kind regards

Hi,
 
That depend of the force feedback system inside the device, if it's not the exact same component it will crash.
 
I need the original drivers.

Hi
 
I see ok.  I don't know how to get the drivers from my system.  The only way one gets windows 7 x64 drivers is via windows update for the MS FFB2 these days.  I'm not sure how to find and save those files.

Somewhere in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository
 
If you just want to test the FB, use the little tool I put in the zip call forcetest, it will test the force feedback of the device.

Ah yes I saw that tool forcetest  but have not used it.  Ok will give it a try thank you.    
 
Can we stay in touch,  I plan to try modding some MS force feedback 2 sticks with other stick grips like a CH products Fighterstick.  And others.
 
You have my email.
 
Regards
Jonny

Bonjour Choumi,
 
Merci mille fois pour ton lien du driver qui me permet enfin de faire fonctionner mon joystick Thrustmaster Force Feedback sous W7.  
 
Toutefois ce n'est pas très réaliste avec Flight Simulator/P3D. Aussi j'ai essayé la démo de ce logiciel et c'est pas mal du tout :

Je vais peut-être l'acheter mais c'est pas donné.

Hi Choumi,
 
Can I ask if you can also mod the driver for when windows 9 comes out.  I hear MS might announce soon.  I'm not a windows 8 fan so never upgraded.  But might well do for windows 9 as it then moves onto DX12 >  (not sure if win7 will get DX 12 right a way, if ever)
 
So Win9 might be my upgrade point and it would be great to have the driver and software working on W9.
 
I now have two of the Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner Force feedback HOTAS.   Took me a year to find the 2nd one.  But there are still the odd one or two out there in the EU  (I'm in the UK).   Do please let me know if you come across any in the EU     you've got my email via PM.
 
Regards
Jonny

Bonjour Choumi,
 
Un grand merci à toi pour ce pilote que je désespérais de trouver un jour sur le site du fabricant.

Bonjours,
j'ai besoin de Thrustmaster FFBVistaSP27SP1.zip. Je ne parle pas francais depuis vingt annees. Peut je parle anglais?
I dont found this zip-file. All links are dead. I need it to install my Thrustmaster top gun Afterburner FFB Joystick for Win7. I have no access with the Thrustmaster-File for VistaSp1.
Merci!!!!

First post on my topic, the link is still valid.

Thank you very much for your fast reply!!!!!

Hi Shumi.
 
Are you able to create a windows 10 x64 driver please.   I've not upgraded yet to win10 so don't know it it works or not.  It would be good.
 
I've still only managed to find the one 'THRUSTMASTER Top Gun Afterburner Force feedback'  model 2969050
 
 
I would like to maybe buy another one if anyone has one for sale.  I could of bought one from the USA but the guy wanted so much plus overseas shipping costs.

Plus any force feedback tweaks you can get to work with the driver/setup on win10.
 
 
Bringing force feedback back from the dead,  made anew for space sim games like Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous.
 
 
I am lobbying for force feedback (haptic feedback) support on the Star Citizen forums, and on the Elite Dangerous forums.  I lobby quite hard on those forums.  And CIG (Star Citizen) are testing some force feedback HOTAS, the Logitech G940's.  And they said its on the back burner but they do want force feedback eventually.   And also on Elite Dangerous forums,   they also would like force feedback but have no roadmap yet for its first implementation. So both company devs have told me they want it, but have no clear time line yet.  Maybe end of 2016 into 2017 some action on force feedback implementation will happen.
 
I continue to push them for updates.  
 
 
My hope is that if these two very high profile games implement force feedback support and its a popular feature, then maybe some of the big HOTAS and Joystick companies 'might' take interest.   it's a long shot I know.  
 
I've even been emailing Microsoft to try and get them to issue a new windows 10 force feedback driver for their MS FFB2 stick.  Not had much luck there.    
 
I'm doing the best I can to bring more highlight to force feedback, and to make it anew for space sim games...and flight sim games.   Space games being my thing.

Un énorme merci pour avoir fait ressusciter mon joystick !!! Ce message donc pour te remercier grandement, et aussi pour dire à tout le monde que c'est encore fonctionnel comme astuce !

Hello,
sorry, I signed to this forum to just ask this question:
does this driver also works on Windows 11?
 
Thanks and kind regards!
