Force Feedback for Lion and Saitek R440 Wheel

Question

Force Feedback for Lion and Saitek R440 Wheel

I just got Dirt2 from the App-Store and it works fine.

Except my wheel a SAITEK R440 Force Feedback just lets me control the car but there is no force feedback with it.

So I wrote a mail to Feral and got a simple answer:

"Apple took out the support for force feedback from lion and so it wont work at all.

We hope Apple would fix this problem one fine day"

Is this correct?

If YES: When will Apple support Force Feedback for Wheels (to play Dirt2 at full range)

If NO: Whts going wrong with my device?

Can you help me please.

OSX Lion and Dirt2-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.7.1), MacPro Late 2009, Lion, 30" Cinema

Thanks Grzegorz, but this does not work for my Saitek Wheel. There is still no Force Feedback with Dirt2, FlatOut2, RaceDriver3. THIS is very bad.

All steering wheels that have force feedback in Snow Leopard you can fix in Lion by using the hint on the vgp3depot forums. However that solution is not offically supported. I don't know if Force Feedback ever worked on the Saitek wheels on the Mac as I don't think Saitek wrote any drivers.
