Center deadzone with G29 steering wheel

I've used this wheel on sim racers before but I can't figure out what to do about this. When there's no game open the wheel has this massive deadzone in the middle and it tries to keep it in that zone. When I start a game it usually goes away and I can play normally, but even after making a separate profile for Supermodel it still keeps that deadzone and its really hard to steer. I would appreciate if someone more knowledgeable than me told me what I have to configure for this to work (the wheel and pedals register ingame it's just really hard to steer).
