X52 and CH pro pedals don't work!

[Spinnetti]

Ok first off, Win7 Ultimate 64 bit, Saitek x52/CH Pro pedals, TrackiR5. Core i7/4gigs/ATI 4850. Issues are in all versions so far, including the latest 4/27 beta patch.

I have NO vendor drivers installed or adjustments to my controls. I just plugged them in and use the default windows settings. I have centered the sticks in the windows control panels and confirmed function. Everything works PERFECT in IL2 (for many years), but is HORRIBLE in COD. the plane tries to roll hard right constantly, pitch doesn't respond right and the rudder pedals mostly don't work at all - they seem to work full deflection or not at all. The controls in general seem to be on/off and its impossible to fly. I'm really hating COD.
