Firstly make sure that your controller is plugged in and functioning correctly in Windows and that you have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for the device from the manufacturer's website.
You should also ensure that no schemes or profiles are running for your controller. If you are using a wheel with pedals, we recommend that you use the 'separate' axis
options for your pedals, rather than the 'combined' option. See your wheel/pedal documentation for further information on this.
