Wow, i cant even hold half the turn in a drift without my car countersteering itself and spinning out the opposite way of my drift.

How do i maintain the drift? do i just let the force feedback counter steer for me? Because when i do that the car eventually spins back the other way.

With the controller, i went into the stock AEM s2000, but the bitch in 2nd, punch the accelerator, and just counter steered through the turn. This... i dont even know how to approach this. I feel like such a noob!
 
It's the same exact technique. Approach the corner and do exactly the same. The only difference is now the car is "telling" what it's doing.
 
This video may help you. The best thing to do is just get use to using the wheel before you try drifting. You cant run before you walk and right now you're in a crawl.;) Try using a low powered car with some grip so you dont slide. This will let you get use to the FFB.

Just dont let yourself get angry and stop. The more you drive the faster you will get better. The common time to be able to drift somewhat good after around a month, but after a week you should be able to drive at a relative speed. At around 3 months you'll be able to do it.

My FFB is 6 with simulation steering type and power steering off.
 
I have/had the same problem with my driving force GT wheel. I could drift anything in any game and now with the wheel I'm a noob all over again. Like what was said above you just have to practice a lot, it's in the middle of a controller and a real car and it's a pain to get the hang of it.

Nice sliding...Add me on PSN- ianvaz1
I don't gave too many friends that can slide with a wheel ;)
 
I have used a controller all my life, and can still manage to keep up the skill levels of my friends with a G27. I don't suggest moving to something you are not completely used to, though I have been looking at wheels for racing in general.
 
I have no problems with racing on the wheel. Its the self counter steering of the wheel that kills any drift you want to hold. I swing my cars end to the left, the wheel countersteers to the left, and before you know it the wheel rebounds the other way, and your car follows the same motion.

Its impossible to hold on to a drift like that.

When you start to slide, the wheel will go the other way. The trick is, to catch the wheel and hold it that way.
 
make sure active steering is on, its more realistic cause the steering wheel gives feedback to the physics of the cars steering. or else feels like over tightened steering linkages.

and yup controller is easy for nubs, g25/g27 is the real deal.

gud luck
 
Powersteering off, Steering on Simulation.

FFB on 4, that is what you want.

There's no such thing as Active Steering in GT5...👎
 
I have this exact same problem. With a controller I was starting to be semi decent at drifting but now I have had my G27 for around a week I feel like I am getting fairly good at racing but completely useless at drifting, I cant even put one slide together without losing it one way or another it's so frustrating.
 
Ive been fighting the wheel for a while but have the basics down.
For me there was one tip that made it all work; and that is that RIGHT after you let the wheel spin into countersteer for you; steer back into the corner to maintain the drift. And on the exit; try to stay on the gas while steering the wheel back to the neutral position youreself. You need to feel/fight the ffb of the wheel all the time..

SlappHapy's video shows awesome driftskill but i think its actually to good to show you the steering inputs needed. First of all because the inputs he gives are very subtil(?) (small). Secondly because he is stringing every corner into the next so the snap back the the OP talks about is somewhat exactly what slaphappy's doing but then intentionally and maintaining it.. I started by just drifting the second corner on Autum Ring Mini.

Hope that helps a little.
 
So, whats the verdict from real drifters?
Which is more realistic, Power assist steering on or off?
 
Well after a fair bit of practice I'm consitently getting drift trial scores of around 7000 now. That's rubbish to some, I know, but I'm comparing it to 2000 last week so it's a marked improvement. Had the wheel for 2 weeks now.

My biggest issue, is lack of smoke. I seem to be a smokeless drifter and it's getting me down... LOL.

I want to have people staring in from neighbouring fields wondering, what the hell is all of that smoke, has someone called the emergency services?

Not sure why it is but I can imagine speed is a factor, that and not buzzing the wheels enough, mid-drift.

More practice I think ;)
 
Power assist, and the Steering options are null and void for g25/g27. those settings only affect the older driving force wheels.

it is always more practicing
 
Yup ^

Sure is. Nothing will help more. Reading some tips by people, that can drift well, always helps but it doesn't replace getting your 'feet wet'.

off, all aids off, it disturbs the feeling coming through the FFb. As stated beforen you'd want to work in that ffb to steer into or countersteer more.
Therefore, you'd want to feel as accurate as you want, the forces your car is going through. ;)
 
I believe you, I just wanted to find out what would be the most realistic.
How does real life drifting compare to the game?

Drift Trial and A-Spec?

Since I"ll be drifting a real 240 soon, I worried about what challenges I'll have to face.

Drifting in real-life is alot easier. If you'll be able to get some way decent with the wheel on GT5, you'll do just fine with the 240 as S-bodys are one of the easiest cars to drift in anycase.


Good thing about GT5 is you can try silly stuff in the game before you try it for real and end up bending the car :)
