Grand Theft Auto + Driving Cabinet?
« on: September 16, 2013, 02:51:14 pm »
So with the release of Grand Theft Auto tomorrow - this thought cross my mind.  Has anyone ever tried getting a GTA game running on their driving cabinet?  You'd have to have a split control thing going on - gamepad for "out of car" mode, then steering wheel for in car.

I know Just Cause 2 has separate control options configurable for both in car / on foot / in plane modes...  but I've never looked at the PC version of GTA games (I have of the older ones for my PS2)

A large part of the game is driving so I'd think getting a wheel going would add to the experience?   Or am I just nuts?   :afro:

edit:  Found a note http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/952150-grand-theft-auto-iv/47926329 that states wheel support was patched into GTA IV, so I'm guessing GTA V will support it as well.  That probably means the GTA III series won't have support - but that's never stopped Logitech profile + X360CE users before...  :D

It's not  comfortable at all. and complicated with all the buttons needed to control them.

I myself tried it :banghead:

they driving physics are much better in GTAV, but teh rest, meh. too much non driving to warrant the effort.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Bummer.  Thanks for the responses.  Shame - but GTA V is supposed to be huge.
