I've been trying to drift now for a couple of days with my DFGT, but I still can't manage to get used to it. I've trying to drift with a 350z, but I don't know if the settings on it are wrong or something. I have all assists off by the way. I don't know if I should keep the sensativity to 0 or something. Can someone help me?
 
Try watching some videos of real drifters in the cockpits of their cars. Watching what wheel movements they do helped me tremendously. Just look sround youtube, theres hundreds of them. Good luck, and add me on PSN if you like, Im learning that wheel as well.
 
I can't turn the wheel that fast. I think maybe I should turn down the feedback?

Ive tried it with nearly every possible combination and Ive found that I like anywhere between 4-6 FFB with power assisted steering and simulation mode on. I guess its personal preference but the stand I use wobbles around already enough as it is, and a higher FFB stops feeling like a real car and more like a tugboat.
 
My dfgt ffb is is set to 10..simulation, no pwr steering...I think the secret is a stable base for the steering, otherwise the extra movement transmitted from the base will mess up what the ffb is trying to tell you...and as far as the wheel moving quickly enough, especially when initiating or linking drifts, therein lies the true beauty of the 10 ffb because seemingly just like in a real car or any car sim that has ffb wheel support that I've played, the front wheels naturally follow the rear end when drifting and maximum ffb will send the wheel into the correct direction quickly w/ a little flick..all you have to do is catch it
 
...but then realize I do most of my drifting w/ 125-450hp machines and spring rates that almost never exceed 10 front or rear..so it helps absorb elevation changes well(toscana and aso are my favorite) cars with more hp or that run stiff setups may not benefit from my tuning..at least not w/ a dfgt
