Fix: Crew Motorfest Wheels and Pedals Not Detecting
Apart from the wheel not detecting or the inputs not registered issue, some reports also claim that the force feedback of the wheel controller isn’t working properly. At the same time, some unfortunate players face the wheel controller getting connected and disconnected automatically on the PC. It often says “Controller disconnected – Please reconnect a controller” message, which becomes frustrating. Luckily, there are some ways to fix it.

Irrespective of which wheel controller model you’re using, visit the official manufacturer’s website and grab the latest drivers & firmware for the particular wheel controller.

After installing files, reboot the PC to apply changes and reconnect the wheel.
2. Connect to Another USB Port
Make sure to use another USB port on your computer to connect your wheel controller to cross-check whether the device is detected. Sometimes issues with the gaming controller connected via USB cable may trouble you. Also, check for physical damage to the USB cable (if any). You should also check if the USB port is working fine or not. In some cases, a wobbly USB port can also create loose connections. Keep that in mind too.
