Steering wheel force feedback does not work after a fresh install of windows.

[Str4fe]

[B][U]SOLVED[/U][/B]
Install Logitech Gaming Software, This will install Logitech Driving Force drivers which work on Joytech Nitro Triforce.
________________________________

My steering wheel, Joytech Nitro Triforce, Used to work properly until i reinstalled my windows.
Now force feedback does not work and it doesnt have separate pedals anymore.
I didn't download drivers, i only used the ones what come with the win7 64bit.

There is no official drivers. Joytech does not exist anymore. This wheel is pretty unknown, but its really good. When it works, that is.

Also now my controller properties screen looks like this

That used to have a rotating picture of a steering wheel with blue grips.
Again, i am fairly sure i did not install any specific drivers for this wheel.
Also, i remember it used some kind of "Fuzzy Force" driver. Its the same that im using, but its different. Maybe a newer version?
Or maybe windows doesnt recognize it as a wheel for some reason.

TL;DR:
My wheel worked on the previous install of windows without drivers.
After reinstalling windows doesnt work anymore. What do?

This is what it looked like before, but with a different wheel.

I'm pretty sure its being detected as a gamepad and not a steering wheel. Try to find drivers for it? Or under settings should be a way to detect it as a steering wheel. Windows 7 should have attempted to find a driver for it the minute you plugged it in.

[Str4fe]

There is no win7 drivers for it as said in OP. Im 100% sure.
Windows 7 did find the driver, but it doesnt have force feedback or separate pedals.

I didnt find anything in the settings.

The only way you can fix this is by finding and installing the correct drivers. There is no other way to get such specific functions from your hardware.

Well thats what im confused about. I didnt have any correct drivers before, and it worked just fine!
So why doesnt it work now?

...Because you don't have the correct driver?

[Str4fe]

Did i have the correct driver last time?

I did not. I had not downloaded or installed any drivers for any wheel.
However it worked.

PEBKAC.

Though i did have my Force 3D pro joystick drivers installed back then. maybe it had compatible drivers for my wheel too?

Hmm, worth a shot.

The wheel worked last time when i installed windows. I was surprised.
The wheel doesnt work now.
There is no official drivers as the company died years and years ago.
I have looked for drivers for this for MONTHS.
Also, you are not helping me.

I was right.

Joytech Nitro Triforce wheel works with Logitech Gaming Software drivers.
Now the computer thinks this wheel is Logitech Driving Force.

Everything works.
Now im off to spread this damn word so nobody else has to look around for like months.

So it turns out you didn't have the correct driver after all?

[Str4fe]

No, i did not have the correct driver.

I had logitech's Driving force drivers by accident, since i own the 3D force pro joystick.
These drivers happen to work with this wheel.

This thread might be dead but I've dug up my old joytech triforce steering wheel for the upcoming F1 2012 game. To check if it still worked I got F1 2010 just to try it. I didn't have any drivers either so I found this thread and downloaded the logitech ones. Now the computer finds the wheel and I can calibrate it with the logitech program. But I can't use it in game and no button seems to work. Anyone who has experienced this? After a lot of searching this seems like the only thread on the internet concerning this wheel.
