In the options there's several control schemes. Keyboard and mouse, controller (Xbox), HOTAS. I started out using the xbox controller, but quickly switched to a HOTAS, which is a vast improvement. If I could give you a suggestion, grab a HOTAS whenever you can, and use that; it will improve your experience 100 fold. If you don't want to shell out the money for a HOTAS, you should grab voice attack, and some voice commands.
Is your 360 controller connected to the PC?

Have you successfuly used it on other games?
Hmmm can't really help I'm afraid other than reboot your system and start again.
Check that windows sees the pad as a controller:

Some times I have to do a roll back for my Xbox 360 controller on my windows 7 platform. Check your system section on your computer. Also once you plug in your HOTAS, the game should recognize it, and you should be set; though you may want to go into training mode and configure your HOTAS settings to your liking. I hope that helps
Does it show up in the list of game controllers?
> Windows key
> type "game"
> Select "set up USB game controllers"
> A dialog box with all the controllers attached to the system will show.
> If your controller shows there, double click it and you will be able to test axes and buttons and the like.
> If it doesn't show, something went wrong with the driver installation process and you should unplug, remove the drivers and start again.
I have a rockcandy 360 controller and windows 8. Plugged it in and it was recognised straight away, sorted out key bindings. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I can only suggest its a windows prob and not ED. Sorry.
Just to be sure, have you tried plugging the controller into another USB port? Or have you noticed the light around the Xbox button flickering, especially when the controller's wire bends and moves? Do you have any other possible way to test out the controller? To be clear, I'm not asking those questions to be demeaning- it's just that something simple or seemingly insignificant is often the culprit behind people's technical issues. Plus, before you try more complex solutions you want to rule out all possible problems of a simpler nature.
I'll also check out my controller options in a bit to see if there's something I can suggest. Concerning off-brand controllers not working, I've used both actual MS Xbox controllers and third party controllers (Gamestop refurbished, not sure of the brand) and they all worked after installation.
