forcefeedback issue

I get this message in flux.log:

DXINPUT: [unknown] WARNING: Forcefeedback support unavailable

However I have a MS sidewinder Forcefeedback 2. - Is there any way to "force" (ahem) the game to enable this feature? kinda pointless to have the joystick without it...

ignore last - for some reason the folder "resource" was still zipped up in the game folder - unzipped and voila! Rumble-arama

(still doesnt explain why my "extras" section has gone walkabout though...) the list has..disappeared but still active..

!(>..<)!
