I have recently been getting into drifting and have watched some videos on YouTube about drifting and the videos I have watched all show them selves drifting offline. So what I am wondering is: For drifting would the physics be a huge difference from offline to online? Thanks.

Also the video I am following is quite old as well.

All depends how its setup online... I suggest you do some online drifting... then do some online drifting the same set, and choose your answer for yourselves.. I find that i can drift better on my own offline than online.

Everyone is different :-)
 
Depends really, in offline your drifts are way more precise and your setup is way more precise.. every little move you do with your gas pedal / clutch / wheel counts and you have a little more grip, you dont fly around the track like an idiot all the time. i definately prefer offline psychics but they're a little too advanced so that <16 people can enjoy them at the same time, so we have what we have, be happy over that.
 
No difference, Its just the owners room settings that would change the feel of your car. Also lag has an impact. Also people getting in your way. I don't know why people think there's a difference. Just my opinion.

Sigh, dont you ever read other peoples posts? There IS a DIFFERENCE and its proven!
 
ok because a few members think it is different doesn't prove anything. I personally think there is no difference and that the sooner you think like this, the sooner your problem will go. Look at the link many drifters agree with me also, does not PROVE anything.
 
Ehh, I could be wrong but I think there was already a thread with this subject. There is difference and i have no Idea why. It feels more real online they say, but I haven't drifted in real so I don't know. To be honest I don't like drifting offline anyway, waste of your time ! Funny to see your ghost though.

I post on my phone but I'm a fast typer :lol:
 
i didnt think there was any difference at all... i just thought i was good on my own.. but then there is.. i dont find the car as responsive online.. or for it to grip aswell... ive done some killer drifts with a wheel on offline practice... soon as i go online with my wheel im like bambi on ice... Offline i can get into a drift mood/rhythm... but online i just feel like ive never quite got the feel...
 
The new tire physics was and still is on the news page! There is a difference, they tried to make the cars feel tighter, and it is an improvement. There's still a good chit to go, especially with the steering, but there is a big change, you notice it on the wheels.
 
Yeah online an offline physics are slightly different. Tuning garages offer specific onlie tested tunes because of this. Im sure it affects drifting as well.

Big time. I prefer online physics to offline, but that's just me.

Im gonna +1 this as I agree. I fail to see a difference between offline and online. I can run the same laptimes online that I can offline, I can drift the same line, My setup behaves the same...

Are you a wheel user?

I definately agree as a wheel user i can definately tell. There is a twitchier style offline and controller users wouldnt notice because they dont have as sensitive a requirement in steering where as on a wheel if your countersteer is off even a little it changes the whole drift. Physics also required alot of retunes on perfect set cars and non perfect cars seemed to drift even better
 
What makes me mad is when sometimes im tandeming and i lose completly the feeling of speed and grip. Sometimes i think its my fault, sometimes i think that any lag made my physics change slightly...
 
The green bits on the edge of the road on fuji is very slippery online when I drift over it but offline I'm fine

Sadly, no...

Listen to the most of the guys here with wheels. Ways brought it out to you couple posts back: The controller has.. well ALOT more sensitivity than a 900 degree wheel, with the wheel you would feel it too for sure.

Now to think about it, i think i realized the online VS offline thing when i got my wheel working again.
 
wheel and ds3 user - no difference here

Some members have issues using a wheel in a fairly full room with other users lag apparently causing the problem.

I manage the same lines drifting online and offline and the amount of control needed I'm sure a difference would be felt.

I've asked users with the issue to show some repeatable results but as yet noone has the issue nailed down to a particular situation (if any).

Well, its enough to ruin your plans in drifting if you are testing your stuff in practice mode. Always regarding to drift tune your cars in online if you plan to use it online.

Uhh, any source because I've tuned a few cars offline for online drifting and it worked out fine.
 
I know this isn't a test of drifting but, take a Lamborghini Murcielago LP-670-4 around Nurburgring on Sport Softs offline then repeat for online and still come back and say there is no difference.

There is a loss of grip switching between the 2 whether your racing or drifting. It's very noticable for me.
 
There is a loss of grip online but as long as I can drift I am happy
 
Throwing in my two cents worth, I think the difference in physics between on/offline is due to the bug people are experiencing with sudden losses of grip resulting in slower lap times while racing. (As detailed here: https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=237539)
The symptoms of the bug are almost identical to the 'differences' between on and offline, namely a loss of traction, poor acceleration/braking, resulting in more imprecise driving. So I'd say that it wasn't a bug, but more a fundamental flaw with the game that results in less traction the higher the latency.
