Flight Controls in P3D4

[Gil Yoder 2]

I'm a new user of P3D4 and I am experiencing a problem that I thought I would post a question about here.

Is it normal for P3D4 to ignore axis control input from a yoke or joystick when its window is not active? This is happening to me. Button controls seem to work whether or not the window is active, but axis controls work only when the window is active.

This might be a problem with how I have FXIPC5 set up in the program, but I just don't know where to look to fix the issue.
