They don't mix. I'm trying to fly planes in BF3 again and I didn't have this issue with Windows 7, but within Windows 8, I don't have full rudder control, even if I configure it within BF3.
I've downloaded these (2009_FFD_2.exe...based on the naming convention, these are rather old...Thrustmaster, fix this shit, please) drivers from Thrustmaster's support pages. We'll see if that helps.
EDIT: Yes, the drivers got the rudder to work. BUT! The drivers also appear to be causing some weird issues. For example, whenever I get into a chopper, I occasionally hear my primary weapon being fired (ie, a sniper rifle, for example). Also, once I exit the chopper, I can't sprint or reload a clip...the buttons will not work. I experimented a bit, trying to determine where the issue lied until I realized that the joystick was the factor...when I disconnected the joystick, I found that I could sprint again, and reload a magazine. the sniper firing while piloting a vehicle has stopped. I captured footage of this happening. It's a shame, because I was planning on practicing the upcoming DLC release of End Game. I do not want to have to adapt to flying via mouse...screw that! So, count this as a rather major negative in migrating to Windows 8...this did not occur with Windows 7. Sure, this probably isn't the fault of Microsoft and is more than likely a Thrustmaster driver issue (that I'll report), but it ruins the experience of Windows 8 regardless.
