sweetness. Thanks yo.

i've done a search on this topic and have found nothing on it so...

anyway, i think i figured out how to finally drift in GT4... in GT3, drifting was considerably easier. all you have to do in GT3 when making (for example, a right turn) is press right and then press left to counterstear while applying the gas as needed. But at the end of the turn all you have to do is let go of the left button to cancel the counterstear and then the car will go back to going straight automatically. In GT4, you do all this, except that this time, at the end of the turn, the game won't automatically point the wheels straight for you. The difference is you have to bring the wheels back to neutral MANUALLY (ie. after counter-stearing) holding down the left button. at the end of the drift, you have to press the right button immediately or else the tail will come out and you will spin out (ie. kinda like a faint drift).

if anybody else has figured out drifting, do you have any other tips?

i found it easier to drift with N3 tires in the front and N2 tires in the back, thus creating those long and showy drifts that people love.

I think the drifting physics are a bit strange, it seems you can't overpower. As an example: take a powerful RWD car (Ford GT) and stand stil on a wide track(High speed ring) Then rev up holding brake and gas, and then release brake. Now in real life you would without a doubt be doing donuts and in Gt3 it does, but in this game it doesn't want to lose grip sideways.

While driving in Gt4 you can only drift using weight shift but not overpowering just like supman says, or at least it doesn't work as easily as it should work. I mean I can do it in a BMW 316 with 96 hp surely you should be able to do it with a Ford GT. What do you think about this?

great videos! thx!

I tested the D1 ER34 yesterday, that thing doesn't need any setting up to make it drift. Although it's alot harder to finish the drift without unsettling the car, most of my first few attempts ended up in the wall.

Power Over is very easy with N1s just tried the s2000 and others with similar hp.
Sim tires(n1) at the ring........ every bump, rumle strip stops your heart!!

 

[S31Ender]

what do you need to play those vids?

I've never heard of an izh file.

lzh is a kinda compressed file. just decompress with winrar

either they haven't programed it in....orrr i think i know what you're talking about......in real life, you can't just dump the cluth, turn the wheel and expect to do doughnuts....especially with RWD cars that have wide ass rear wheels (more grip)....you need more power to overcome the grip.....now, i'm sure the GT40 has plenty of power to do a doughnut, but you say if your 96 hp 316 can do it, it sure can.....this is a wrong deduction......these cars have different characterisitcs...what you do on one car, you can't do on another.......for example, i have a BMW 330i perfromance package......and it's actually kinda hard for me to just dump the clutch and expect to do a doughnut..i have to feather the throttle kinda hard to break traction in the back, then i can go crazy.....but we both have never driven a GT40 in real life, so that's just my guess 👍

oh that's right amoredp.....you probably haven't equipped the GT40 with street tires.....it's very easy to power over with cars such as the M5 with street tires

I will try it with N1 tires, thanks.
Btw I just took the 316 as an example because it is the car with the lowest hp that is RWD I have ever driven. I have never had any problem burning out with any other car and I have driven quite a lot.

The most powerfull rear wheel car I've driven is an M3 and it could power over effortlessly. In the game it also doesn't work with an M3(S2 tires). Never drove the 330td though so I can't say anything about that, never drove any diesel come to think about it!

Just tried an M3 csl with N1 tires and it works I can drift just like in Gt3, Thanks

Still can't do a donut though............ah who cares I never do it anyway.

I am very glad that there are at least some videos of drifting now. I shows off the new physics really well.

Thanks qranger! Nice drift video 👍! The first video was awesome, the player drift with 900 degree. But it's simulation tires .


Anyone can drift without simulation tires?

 

[ToyotaDrifter]

In gt3 you could drift in any kind of tires as long as you change the other settings.. but gt4 idk.. i dont have it :'(

 

[cubits]

I used to go nuts with stock cars on sim tyres at complex string in gt3. With a wheel it was easy to drift the whole swathe of constant radius circles, although only a few cars could nail the last one (although i drifted a stock trueno around it on the dirt on the outside of the track ).

Can't wait to get GT4 and bust out some phat slides.

 

[ToyotaDrifter]

hahah I see.... Grass drifting in stock trureno can be fun though.. hope in gt4 the car wont be to hard to drift

 

[evilgnome]

Ive tried drifting, and spent a good deal of time setting up my suspensions. Its a lot harder than GT3. Controlling the countersteer is crucial.
Though I have managed to get some good drifts with the HKS Genki S15, FD, SS Trueno and the EvoVIII MR. Next up Ill be setting my M3 for drift.

 

[Ryosuke_Gumna]

Oh, nice! I'd like to see your skills! .

 

[LFRANCOF483]

ryosuke gunma, and toyota drifter.....i made a replay of me drifting Costa di Amalfi with the initial D Trueno......too bad i dont know how to upload crap

edit: of course, since im still trying to master drifting in GT4, there are some mistakes.....

 

[Ryosuke_Gumna]

You can upload in bittorrent or in a FTP server.

 

[Gabkicks]

So.. would you say drifting with full 900 mode is harder in GT4 or LFS? its harder in LFS right? i was watching the s2k replay on autumn ring, and he didnt seem to be having many problems. He's probably been practicing a bit though

 

[Ryosuke_Gumna]

I'm looking foward for a video .

 

[s2000lover]

damn its hard to drift, even using N1 tires

lzh is a kinda compressed file. just decompress with winrar

Would WinZip work instead?
I ask only because when I download the file & attempt to extract the actual wave file, WinXP gives me some freaky error message about the program to open the file is not installed??

Thx-

EDIT Forget it...I just downloaded WinRar & the vids are now viewable....
