Steering wheel and pedals not working until I visit the controls screen

[Elaphe]

I'm using Assetto Corsa and Content Manager with a Simucube 1 and Heusinkveld pedals. The problem I have is that both the steering wheel and the pedals don't work at all until I click settings/Assetto Corsa/controls. I only have to do this the first time I load CM, but I wonder if there's a way to fix it. Does this also happen to you? Other controls such as the gear shifter do work from the start.

Thanks, mate.
