How do you guys corner exit?

[oohhh yeah]

First, a little background about myself. I've been sim racing for about 3 years. I have always used MOMO racing (240 degree wheel). I could drift LIKE A PRO with that. But now after buying G27 (3 months ago) I can't drift like I used to. Holding the drift is much harder and the hardest part is corner exit. I always turn too much or too less. I don't know how much to steer because I'm used to 240 degrees. It's also because the FFB is much stronger on the G27. I have it at 1 and it's still stronger than my old wheel at 10.

Basically, at corner exit it's hard because i'm having to fight the FFB. I always don't turn enough or turn too much and i end up going off the road straight into the wall or spinning out. At corner entry when you counter-steer, you are going WITH the FFB. At corner exit you are going AGAINST.

And I'm not weak. I can incline bench 70lb dumbbells with good form for 8 reps.

Mate, there are similar threads about it.

Just search for "how do i straighten out" or something, u will find several tips in this thread.

 

[Jesus]

Don't floor it out of the turn, lighty come off the gas.
Can you ask a mod to close this now?

Who straightens out when they're drifting?

It's not about the gas. It's about the steering. I could drift like a boss with 240 degrees but can't now.

Get the 240 back, problem solved. You don't have to do what everybody else does 👍

But why would I pull out my MOMO(worth about 50 bucks right now) when I have a G27????

when your exiting a corner and all of a sudden you spin out. = to much throttle.

when you come off of an exit, and all of a sudden it whips the other way.. = not enough power. or in wrong gear..

i know what you mean about drifting like a pro with a smaller degree wheel. but it will come to you..

i bet you can drift full throttle through a turn with the old wheel? so did i. the problem is that your doing too much to soon. you know how to drift with the old wheel. theirs your problem, you cant drift at all now and the same techniques don't apply because there's so much going on now.

as soon as you tell you self you cant drift with the new wheel, and stop trying to go hard like you did with the old wheel. and relearn how to drift with the new wheel. it will just click.. start with the basics.. throttle control simple. you have to be quick with the wheel..

ffb is only strong to you because your old wheel ffb wasn't strong at all..
try drifting with dfgt, then jump to g25/27 and you will be whipping that thing around with one finger.

If it truely is your steering, just PRACTICE, trust me, thats all there is too it, took me about a week to get used to 900 degree steering after using a logitech force feedback wheel which had only 180 degrees, lol, and 2 weeks to get back to the form I had with my old wheel, and 4 weeks to drift like a normal person, lol (i drifted like crap with my old wheel, now i drift much better) but yeah, once you get a handle on the steering and the balance of the car during a drift, you'll get it, believe me, you'll learn where you have to have the steering wheel, also, i recommend that you keep drifting on the same track and the same car, it'll make it alot more simple, you'll get used to the turns and it'll make it alot easier to find a good line to where you won't have to do so much correcting and such, then once you get it, move on to other cars and broaden your horizons in terms of the amount of cars you can drift, but yeah, overall, practice is the best advice i can give you.

on a side note, something to try would be to drift 4WD cars, like the Nissan R35, thats what i did (on prologue anyways) and i started to get it, though, when i moved on to the rear wheel drive cars (i used an rx-7), it wasn't the same (obviously) but it felt a little similar, i started to get how to correct and such and the rest is history. so, just another option if thats how i learned, if it wasn't all the practice, lol

Ok well, good job on calling a fully grown man a boy

My question is still ligitimate, who DOES straighten out when drifting, because most people I know connect the corners 👍

When you drift the last corner of Suzuka East, you straighten up, and drive down the straight.

It's not about the gas. It's about the steering. I could drift like a boss with 240 degrees but can't now.

And there was me thinking you were looking for answers.... oh wait you made a thread to get some. If you think it has nothing to do with the throttle your learning curve will be as shallow as the kids section of the swimming pool.

Silly grown mister?

Joking... seriously now, i also like to stay drifting all the time... but his problem is more about angle recover than "straighting out".

 

[oohhh yeah]

Alright I guess practice makes perfect.

You from PT?

I used to drift with you on Cali Raceway.....

There is a setting to take resistance off for sudden turning, turn that off so you can spin it back faster.

Erm, read what he said, his FFB is set to 1.

 

[MiDriftSmoke]

FFB is DIFFERENT.

 

[Jesus]

FFB is DIFFERENT.

FFB....wheel resistance, hmmm.

 

[Bobalob]

you can get away with **** steering and good throttle control.

You will reguarly crash with HAMAZING steering but poor throttle control.

Good day.

 

[Bobalob]

Also, feeling the correct counter steer has zero to do with the amount of degrees your using. Your simply used to an EASY situation where you can be fast with steering, but not nesc accurate. With decent throttle control you will cut down on sawing at the wheel (sign of lack of control flicking wildly between slight under/oversteer during a drift) and be able to direct your slide more accuratly rather than barely making a corner, let alone adjusting a line.

 

[oohhh yeah]

But do you guys feel like there's a lot of resistance to straighten out? You are fighting the force feedback to straighten the wheel.

 

[Jesus]

Don't fight the force, feel the force young jedi.

 

[Bobalob]

straightening out is tricky you need to be slowly reducing rear wheel speed as the countersteer comes off, but as your pulling away from a corner this can mean your foot is never off the floor, depends on how the car is putting the power down, turbo cars catch noobs out by allowing a massive increase in rear wheel speed easily and the torque can vary depending on throttle position, an n/a car gives you easier control of power.

The "trick" if any is to use the throttle pulsing technique, faster pulses keeps rev high slightly longer pulses allow the revs to drop off with reduced danger of "snap spinu"

 

[oohhh yeah]

Don't fight the force, feel the force young jedi.

If I don't fight it then the car will snap and go the other direction off the road.
