Glad it made you wheel guys happier. It has completely made the controller crap. I officially am going to quit getting on now. Its just plain sucks.

I thought you drifted the wheel fox.

Small countersteering I can understand is done. But the way I drift is totally different than anyones. I focus on angle, line, and smoothness. With smoothness I mean to have as less countersteering as I can get. That shows that I've learned to drift my car at the perfect point where I am able to drift any section as the palm of my hand. Countersteering, you do when you are a beginner, at that point people always tell you, the best way to drift at a low skill level is by countersteering. But as your skills improve, the use of countersteering decreases. Countersteering at pro level shows that you are not a 100% sure of the angle and speed you are getting.

PS:This is for wheels only lol. I know DS3 without countersteering is almost never dine since with the controller you have less control on your car.

PS:This is IMO

Shiro i am the same way. You know I always have said that. My 1966 Shelby Cobra was a great example of this
 
Looks like everytime they update the physics I find myself being able to hold more angle and reverse entry easyer.
 
This is the firs time I've ever seen any confusion over what counter steering is. I've always understood "counter steer" to mean any kind of steering action that is in the opposite direction of the corner. To me, "counter steer" and "opposite lock" mean the same thing. Like CG said, to drift at maximum angle, you would need to use maximum counter steer.

Making adjustments to the steering wheel mid drift is not "counter steering", it is making steering corrections.

You are 100% correct Twitcher. Counter steer is any steering past central to oppose the rotation of the car (in relation to travelling direction).

I believe Shiro considered counter steering as any movement within the 'counter steer range', leading to the confusion. I am surprised Shiro is finding issues since the update as many oters find it nice to drift.

Drifting wheel control is very much about the small adjustments and there's not much you can do to avoid them. There are few occasions where after a smooth initiation you can get 'max angle' and hold the wheel at full lock until the front brings itself round, but this is very much a point of no
Return.

Hahahaha right. That's why i always tune offline and then make my car garbage by fine tuning it online. Thanks you PD thank you
 
No rift, this thread is about the 'drift mode' physics, please read what you are trying to help with before posting.

Point taken ! However I cant help thinking that it is related in regards to online/offline differences.. ;Drift mode' physics or not.. ? Btw this thread is about the update 2.09 so all game mate..lol

I dont suppose you have any ideas about the On and offline physics with relation to geometrical differences ? if there are any as I have implied in light of that link i posted that showed Full lock differences..

Any help appreciate GODfrey... Really want to find some answers... And the search was fun here at gtp for a while but soon got bored.. Need hard core facts not fiction.. As possibly I have weighted...

Later...

A step in the right direction from PD. I look forward to seeing more updates like this in the future.
 
He hasn't made that very clear then has he XD

I use a wheel too.

A 'pro' drift would be full-lock countersteer every corner, holding the car at the maximum angle possible (Not reverse entries, but maintained, smooth drifts).

You are aware that the online / offline Full steeering lock was greatly different before the last Update..

Full-Lock or not the setups are different now...
