PS3 Controller Not Working in Game, but Settings Menu recognizes gamepad

[rabidchild]

So I have a PS3 controller which I use with other Steam games with not problem.  

When I go to Settings in the Main Menu and select Settings and then the Input Tab and then to Flight,

I bind the axis of the PS3 gamepad to the Rotation section of the Input screen.  It detects appropriately when I select an axis and push the stick along the axis.

 

But when I play KSP, it does not work.  I move the joysticks around, and no movement is noted. Now if I were to bind the triangle key to the keyboard key for pitching up, it would do that in game.  

 

But the joysticks do not work.

 

Thank you

I use a PS3 controller for planes and it works fine. Do you have the Motionjoy driver software installed? Also ive found that if I plug my controller in after KSP has booted up it will not work. I have to plug in the controller before I run the game. Works everytime.

Hope you get it working.
