Logitech profiler

Just getting to know new g25 wheel - wonderful - but it has taken me about a
week to discover that the only way to keep it working properly is to shut
down the Logitech profiler.

Have seen no mention of this - is it a common experience?

(XP, mainly LFS and TDU)

Opposite for me, without profiler, you cant separate the pedals, adjust the
force feed back, yes there are a lot of "basic settings" you need to set for
the g25 to work "normal" IMHO... the defaults are horrible.

Not for me, certainly. I never need to mess with the Logitech software, and use
in-game settings exclusively.

Mind you, I haven't tried the latest software. My version's probably a bit out of
date. If it ain't broke, etc!

AGREED! I did try updating the Logitech software by downloading and running
from the logitech product support.
The result was one completely dead non-functioning wheel.

Fortunately I had an Acronis backup - I've been using that a lot while
getting this wheel working.

You can do all that in Control Panel > Game controllers.

AFAIK, the profiler is mainly for assigning buttons to special
functions, but you can do that in-game usually. I never run the
profiler and I have no problems with my G25.

thanks for the heads-up... I'll certainly stay away from the "update" then ;-)

Yet another example of a startup program doing nothing useful.

this is weird to me, my Vista 32 install wouldn't work with the wheel at 1st
install (way back when0 unless I opened the profiler...
so maybe it doesn't need it anymore? Thanks for the idea, Ill try making it
not startup at least. But I do use profiles to change how far the wheel
turns... 360 for some games, 900 for others... (speeds up steering
response/correction time in some games for me, to make up for old age
reflexes ;p

Again, you can adjust the rotation in Control Panel > Game
Controllers. No need for the profiler.

When you shut the profiler down it gives a 'scary warning'- that any
associated
controllers will no longer work if you do this.

I wonder why they care enough to use such tactics?
