Drifting with Nitro

[brysonwong]

I was wondering, is it possible to drift with nitro in game just like formula d cars? I mean not pushing the button to arm the nitro but possibly just a flick of button to continuously pump the nitro in. It'll be cool tho.

 

[Drift_Monkey]

yes it's possible

 

[brysonwong]

yes it's possible

How is it possible? What option settings must I enable?

Called sellotape over the r1 button. I do it, activates at full throttle and is awesome on underpowered cars

Only setting is to have a Nos button allocated, Then buy Nos.
I have a clip (metal top from a lighter) that holds my Nos button down (bottom right red button on G27 wheel). I set the Nos to 20% boost so it lasts longer. & it activates under any throttle not just full as Tanner350z said. & to me it really smooths out the rev/torque delivery whereas pressing Nos mid-drift is big change in torque & can easily mess you up. What I was wondering is does the Nos boost % refer to the % of extra bhp it will give the engine, i.e would a 50% Nos boost on a 500bhp engine = 750bhp ??

No, it refers to the percentage of power delivery. I.E.: NOS gives 100hp extra, 25% means 25 bhp. (not sure about the exact number, but it changes depending on car, and hp I assume?)

GT6 doesn't state the size of the NOS bottle so we can say for sure if it's 100hp or 200hp. The percentage is probably a power multiplier based on half of the cars total power. FD spirit R has 686HP and tops out at around 220mph, add 100%nos you go 250mph+. 100hp can't take you that much further. But if it's 100% of half the hp you get 900hp which it feels more accurate.

It would probably be more accurate if instead of "Percentage" that they use "Flow Rate". But it is realistice by use anyways, besides that half the engines would/should probably over combust. So 50 would be 50% Flow Rate, meaning the Nitrous Oxcide would flow at half the "Flow Rate" as 100. Nothing corresponds with previous HP. Now for GT6, the **% means Flow Rate, Not HP increase. It would be stupid to say "Real Driving Sim" then use that number by HP, because that's not how real Nitrous Oxcide works. I hope this is understandable for all. 👍

This is all quite logical and all, but the end effect you feel, is horsepower increase. You can not feel the flow of NOS... Right? We were talking about the effect of NOS on performance, not what exactly happens when you push the button.
