PC Game controller help?

Hi thanks for the reply,

It unfortunately did not work.  I like playing with the mouse and keyboard, but when flying or operating vehicles I find the controller to be a bit easier to use.  Like I said, it was working fine for days with the controller.  I could assign buttons for the controller or the mouse and keyboard (It automatically set up settings on the controller which I liked, I didn't have to do anything but plug it in the first time around)  Now it won't even let me assign the keys on the controller.  It must have some sort of driver in the game which prioritizes one thing over another depending.  It used to let me use both until I played it for a bit without a controller.  I turned it on the next day and plugged it in and nothing happened.

It did a similar thing with borderlands 2,  I had to do a trick where I plugged in the the controller in after it booted up and then it would work.   But that trick stopped.  I'm going to unplug the mouse and keyboard after booting up the game and see if it "defaults" to the controller.
