Setting up your controller (wheels and pedals) is extremely important and unfortunately, it can be more of an art than a science. So the thing to do is to start with something conventional and then tweak to your individual hardware and personal preferences.

The first step in getting your wheel working in GPL is to make sure it works outside of GPL. Go into the Windows Control Panel and then select Game Controllers. You should get a Window similar to this one where you can make sure you have wheel installed correctly and that is recognizing input from your wheel and pedals.

After your are sure the wheel and pedals are functioning correctly, click the settings button. The Window below will be displayed.

Be sure to have the Combined axis setting unchecked.
