If you own a logitech wheel you need to install the [http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/joystick/lgs510.exe 32-bit LGS] on a 32-bit Windows, or the [http://www.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/joystick/lgs510_x64.exe 64-bit LGS] on a 64-bit Windows.
 
 
 
This should install the Logitech driver and make the wheel work in native mode.
