If you look back at the original problem, it wasn't that he wanted the force feedback stick to just work, he wanted it to work properly. He was experiencing problems in FS9 that may or may not have been due to the FF. However, having used it in FSX and turned off the FF, the problem apparently cleared up. It seems then that the original problem is isolated, so to continue he either wants it fixed or is content to work with the FF not working.
