[NFSMW](PC) Controller issues...

[risingpowers]

The arrow keys are awful for driving, and my joystick is meant for flight simulators. I have a controller, but my game (NFS Most Wanted) won't recognize that I have my controller plugged in. Yes, my drivers are installed, and my title is upgraded to 1.3.

My system runs the game fine, but my controller isn't recognized. It's a Nyko Airflo EX PC.

Suggestions, help, etc?
