Game won't detect my Driving Force GT

[Willie]

So I recently bought a 2nd hand Driving Force GT steering wheel. The logitech software detects the wheel, but when I start f1 2016 it only sees the keyboard input, and wont respond to anything I do with the wheel. In settings it won't even switch to the steering wheel, it just does not detect anything.

Do you guys have any idea how to fix this?
