Ok... i have a recoil version 909 and heres how it works for me.
Whatever you set it up for you have to also set up for on the game so identical configurations. Second in order for the controller to work on the game have the controlls page still up you get to it by going to start game elements and then clicking on recoil pad or w/e. if you have done this it should work at least it did for me. I've run into a different problem tho i cant figure out which key is for start and its making me crazy .Hope it helped
