How do I use a Steering Wheel with a UE4 Project?

Hi,

I’m making my final year project at uni this year on a Virtual Reality Traffic Driving Simulator, however now that I’m getting into development I have come across a large problem.

I can not get my steering wheel to work (Hama thunder v5) with my game and it is a critical component. So far I have tried all other unreal forums and other tutorials but the only thing I found of any use was a plugin made by iNFINITE PRODUCTIONS for the Logitech G27

After loading all the files it seems to compile and strip the traditional controller functions, however it is having trouble connecting with the hardware. I understand that within the programming there must be a command that connects with the hardware but I can not find where! I am a not the strongest programmer and would really appreciate some help on this! Thanks
