Help

[Broadhavens]

Hi

Can anyone please link a guide that covers everything from setting up a G27 on GT5 to using the wheel/pedals during drifting. I'm really finding it hard to get everything setup & see what i need to push when going into the drift & how to control the drift. If someone could please help that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Practice, practice, practice. I may not have enough experience on the wheel but if your just adding parts without getting use to a car that you can't grip with then don't drift with it.

To you it might seem like everyone gives this useless information saying "practice".
But that is exactly what you and every other person that is new to drifting needs to do, without practice you will not be good at anything in life.
If you fail, try again and again and again until you get it, that's how i learned anyway.

Why I was asking is cause I can't set any handbrake to the G27 wheel & plus once I get the car into a drift & it starts over turning then the force feedback on the G27 is so strong that it flicks the car in the opposite direction. If there was no force feedback on the while I don't think I would have a problem I would then just need to practice to get better.

But thanks guys I will just keep trying until I figure out what I'm doing wrong.

The ffb isnt the problem; its helping you more then you know..

When you let the wheel slip for countersteer; let it do so in a slowly way.. then when you feel youve countersteered enough; steer into the corner immediatly again. or hit the gas some more.

Actually the FFB is a problaem as anyone who has driven a real car knows that steering it does not feel like a mack truck. Anything over 5 in settings is going into stupid proportions of FFB, Drifting is about being smooth on the wheel and gas, not having to fight 100lbs of force.

All youtube will show you is how well others can drift with 'their' setups, you should know this what with all the fails you encountered cro. Practice and a good setup will be your best bet as that's what all G-series users basically need to start.

Starting off drifting you don't really need to go into much tuning, if they're drifting on my setup or your setup is regardless on youtube. As long as the creator of the video gets the point across of showing someone how to do a certain drifting technique is all that matters. Once they're able to lay down their techniques with ease and understand what the car does during a drift then they should start creating their own setups.

On another note when your wheel during a drift goes back into the opposite direction quickly means you getting snapback.

I have a good advice. You gotta flow with the wheel. Let it "guide" you. Let it loose to catch the slide, and work with it to end the drift. Dont fight it or it will bite you back. With spin outs and snap backs

MrDrift are you writing a poem ?

My understanding was by reading the great guide of BKS. He pinned out all the small fact you need to know and how to act when the car starts spinning.

I had driftet for 2 weeks and nearly given up, UNTIL ! i read BKS guide twice ! Give it a shot, he deffiently got a point !

Sry for my bad english, i need to take some lessons

Best Regards

You don't need set ups or tuning or any FFB settings to be changed at all. It is the same as getting in an actual car. Oversteer and throttle on. For chains use the cars inertia. Just jump in a completely standard and reasonably slow FR car and keep the revs high by changing down and practice throttle control. As far as I can tell the only reason people use these specific tuns and set ups is for more smoke. You can do the same thing in a completely standard car it just doesnt have 600BHP and consequently doesnt billow smoke when you throttle on. Tuning is counter productive, imo. It is just pedal and wheel control which ultimately comes from a bit of practice.

I learned by running completely normal test laps trying to beat my fastest lap and pushing it a little further on each corner until I was comfortable with the car being on the edge of control. After 10-15 laps you'll have it sideways with adequate countersteer. But don't bother using these tune set ups. They just minimize traction and maximize power so you'll feel like your driving on oil. That isn't really the point to getting a car to drift.

I like this train of thought.
When i started drifting recently (in GT4, but it still applies) i had a very nicely setup/ tuned/ modified M3 GTR for normal racing.

i figured it was a well balanced car and handled very well with heaps of power, which it was, but it just wouldn;t drift nicely. i chased thesetup for ages before throwing in the towel

so i went back to BMW, bought a stock M3 CSL, fitted up some N2 tyres, and a racing clutch and gearbox (allows for faster changes during a drift and to get the gear ratios right for the power-band/ speed) and i'm a much better drifter with that car than the tuned version

exact same story with another favourite car of mine (IS200/ Altezza)
weapon of a grip-racer when fully tuned, but couldn;t drift it easily
