I bought FS19 and found it extremely difficult to drive around with my mouse and keyboard, so based on videos I have watched to learn how to play FS19 I discovered it is much easier to play FS19 with the Xbox controller. I bought a PDP Deluxe wired Xbox one controller and I cannot get it to work. I have windows 10, I have the latest drivers for the controller and I downloaded an app for the PDP controller to help me set it up. So when I plug the controller into the port on the front of my computer and attach the cable to the controller, I do get power, because a white light at the top of the controller goes on, and I am able to do a few things on my computer using the pdp controller hub app, like calibrate the controller, but I cannot get all the buttons to show active which is another test in the hub app. So it does seem to talk to my computer somewhat, I do have the latest Xbox controller drivers, my computer is up to date on Microsoft updates, but it will not work in the game. Of course I only tried it for a tutorial, that MAY make a difference, I do not know. And one more thing that makes me think it is not connected or set up correctly is the circular Xbox jewel at the top and just underneath the white power light does not light up, as I believe it should if I am connected to the computer.

You can do some troubleshooting steps to see if you can fix your controller to work again. Check the batteries. Remove the current batteries you're using and see if the Xbox One controller turns.

Anyway, the bottom line is I have Windows 10, my computer is up to date, the drivers for the controller are the latest, and when I plug the controller into the port in the front of my computer, the computer at first did give me a message that I was attaching the controller, so the computer recognized it. Maybe I just have the settings in the game wrong for an Xbox controller? Should I use a port in the back of my computer? if I have an open one. The man I bought it from at the store told me that with windows 10, all I needed to do was plug it in and away I go. However, as I said, it does not seem to work at all in FS19. I plug the controller in, run the game, and even though I press all the buttons, use the joystick pedestals, nothing seems to happen, I have tried putting the person into the tractor and pushing all the buttons again but nothing happens and I bought the controller specifically because everyone said it was so much easier to drive the tractor with a controller as opposed to mouse and keyboard.
Can anyone help me please? If I cannot get the controller to work, I will bring it back and practice until I can drive using the keyboard and mouse, which as of now, since I am new to FSanything..I am all over the lot and find doing farm chores very difficult, thus the controller.
Pls help me if you can, thank you all and sorry for the long post.

Once upon a time, Microsoft didn't support its own controllers on its own PC platform. You needed hacked drivers and workarounds to use the excellent Xbox One controller with PC games. That's no longer the case, with official drivers built right into Windows 10. So, while it's easy to do, there's more to it than just plugging it in. Here's a complete guide. (You might also want to check out our pick for the very best Xbox One controller.)

How to use a micro USB cable with the Xbox One controller
© Provided by Windows CentralBy far, the simplest way to use an Xbox One controller is to use a micro USB cable. Attach to the connector on your controller and any free USB port on your PC, and it'll automatically recognize it's there, and you're good to go.
Any decent cable will do the trick, even the one that you used to use to charge your phone.
However, it's not just desktop PCs that you can use an Xbox One controller with. It's entirely possible to use it with a tablet or laptop, and in those cases, you may only have USB-C connectors available.
The easiest thing to do is get a USB-C to USB-A dongle, allowing you to use a regular micro USB cable through the USB-C connector on your laptop or tablet.
The Xbox Wireless Adapter
© Provided by Windows CentralMicrosoft also has an official wireless dongle for Windows PCs that allows you to go wire-free. The first-generation controller and the original Xbox Elite controller don't support Bluetooth, so to go wireless on your PC, you'll need the dongle.
It isn't expensive, and the redesigned model is much smaller than the original. Simply plug it into your PC and connect your controller to is as you would the Xbox One, by holding down the pairing button on the top.
The Bluetooth controller
© Provided by Windows CentralThe current generation Xbox One controller from Microsoft, as well as the second-gen Elite Controller, supports Bluetooth. Any currently on sale, or that came with the Xbox One S or Xbox One X have Bluetooth capabilities. That means you can connect it to any Windows PC, laptop, or tablet that has Bluetooth built-in.
- Open settings on your PC.
- Go to devices.
- Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
- Turn on the controller by pressing the large round X button.
- Click on the controller in your discovered devices to pair.
This is particularly handy if you're taking a controller on the road with you and your laptop. One less cable to pack!
