Problems with firestorm dual power usb controller, need manual settings?

[MA☝Omgwtfbbqstfu™]

Its a thustmaster firestorm dual power, pretty old but still works. windows calibration is fine but when I try to change any setting in the configuration utility, it auto fills "gamepad 1: analog channel 2 + gamepad 1: analog channel 0 + for any of the assignments listed. So i really can't change the controls at all.

Is there a a text file I can alter?

tried with another old controller, seems any attempt to bind another key just results in analog something + the key instead of just the button. the picture shows the default vs what i try.
in the game i can turn, but i can't accelerate, i see the lean and if someone crashes into me i have control, i can confirm dialogs so i can navigate menus, but for whatever reason i can't rebind the correct buttons in settings.

So I guess it expects an analog trigger only/xbox controller only? :(

I googled the controller, this is what I got as a top result.

Assuming that's the controller... it's likely running DirectInput (said it has "new" packaging... for 2004), which probably won't have ideal results as it is.

Luckily, there is x360ce, which should make it function like an XInput controller.

Just scroll down to the part that mentions controller support issues. Everything to get it running should be there.

Ah ok thanks, i generally stay away from gamepad games, so i never had to buy another one:P

x360ce works perfectly with S&ART, but doesnt work for valve game ( as l4d )

Oh ok, i have no interest in using gamepads for anything else than this racing game
