So, I have two USB controllers that are designed for one game, which is Flight Simulator. So I have the pedals and yoke. Now, I want to try and use these for other games, namely racing obviously. I found that I CAN hook both up to the game (separately) and control however much I can with the inputs on each one, but I want to hook them up at once and use them simultaneously. So like be able to use the pedals for the forward/backward and use the yoke for steering/other buttons. Does anyone know any way to be able to do this, effectively hooking two devices up to be registered as one device?

pretty sure you can't.
steering wheels come with an attached pedal set. It's only the airplane controls (for the flight sim enthusiasts) that would come as seperate pieces, as most airplanes use a simple throttle and joystick, where as all cars require a steering wheel and gas pedals.

Well it would be possible for someone who knows how to program hardware to make one, but does one exist for the extremely small set of people who use flight sim controllers, and much less that works with your specific model? not likely.

although, you "might" be able to remap the inputs from the controls to the keyboard and then use keyboard input, but that probably won't give you any pressure sensitive controls: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/misc/RemapJoystick.htm
The main racing game I play is just Burnout anyways, and that game is just going fast, you actually only accelerate at one speed so no pressure sensitivity is ok
I'll try that out and see if it works, thanks. If anyone else has ideas too though that would still be appreciated

You could try plugging both controllers in and then going and manually changing the keybinds in the game's options menu.
Obviously I would have tried that but a game registers what controller its keybinding from. Especially in Burnout you select the keybinds for that controller, you can't set up for multiples like that. By default it doesn't work like that in video games
