for Vista+ these drivers didn't work but Vista came with drivers for it, it just lacks the control panel, even on windows 10 x64 I can use the Sidewinder ffb wheel, force feedback and all buttons work, the problem is the lack of control panel and the wheel having the "auto center spring" setting as default (which ruins it for newer FFB racing games), some games will disable it automatically as expected (like Live For Speed) but most don't , for "Project Cars" when I tested it deleting a registry value worked to disable it, but it's not always the case.
I've used this wheel for things like Iracing and Project Cars quite well, it's only unplayable for me when the game forces the auto center spring and I can't disable it.
as for older games the 98 driver/control panel even comes with profiles for GPL, Need For Speed and so on and it works fine.

Finally, some racing wheels support force feedback through the steering wheel. You can determine whether a connected racing wheel supports force feedback by reading the WheelMotor property of the racing wheel. Force feedback is supported if WheelMotor is not null; otherwise it's not supported.
Many racing wheels have force feedback capability to provide a more immersive and challenging driving experience. Racing wheels that support force feedback are typically equipped with a single motor that applies force to the steering wheel along a single axis, the axis of wheel rotation. Force feedback is supported in Windows 10 or Windows 11 and Xbox One UWP apps through the Windows.Gaming.Input.ForceFeedback namespace.
These sections describe the basics of programming force feedback effects for racing wheels. Feedback is applied using effects, which are first loaded onto the force feedback device and then can be started, paused, resumed, and stopped in a manner similar to sound effects; however, you must first determine the feedback capabilities of the racing wheel.
You can determine whether a connected racing wheel supports force feedback by reading the WheelMotor property of the racing wheel. Force feedback isn't supported if WheelMotor is null; otherwise, force feedback is supported and you can proceed to determine the specific feedback capabilities of the motor, such as the axes it can affect.
