How to use the logitech g25 wheel with gta4
you can use the g25 with gta4 and it isn't that difficult to set up.
This profile was set up for gta3 but it works on gta4 as well....the downside is none of the wheel buttons work and there is no force feedback but the spring in the wheel puts pressure on it so there is weight when you turn left and right. and the pedals work like analog which is much better then pressing a button or keyboard key and having the gas full throttle or full brake. its much more enjoyable to drive.
What I do is rest the keyboard on my lap. when outside a car i play the game with the keyboard and mouse, and when i step into a car i use the wheel and pedals driving with in car view. showing the hood. i drive with one hand and use the mouse to shoot and look around. this works really well for me.
Here are the instructions to get it to work.
1... Copy and paste the yellow text into a text editor (notepad, wordpad)
