I love drifting, and I've made it my goal to never use a controller again, but I have trouble using the wheel. I'm trying to drift without using the E-Brake( Inertial drifting) but I can't seem to get enough angle to fallow through. I would greatly appreciate any tips or advice for me. I also use a Z33 or a FD Spirit R most of the time.
 
its ok to drift without e-brake, I do it all the time, you just have to adjust power on pedals and feel your car while turning wheel gently, but drifting side to side have to be very precise and fast with 900* rotation.. that was the hardest part for me to learn.. and still learning..

dont forget. using wheel drift tuning is much different from sixaxis.. dont go to hardcore, tune as real as possible, dont forget about LSD tuning that is the most important part for drift tuning.

and go to drift forums for more useful info.

Drifting with wheels is largely similar so reading tips on drifting with a G27 could very well apply to other wheels. 👍
 
IMO, make yourself and e-brake rig. (Click here for e-brake rig thread) You don't always need it, but at times you do. If it's doing a long e-slide, or just correcting yourself. Its a good thing to have. Another thing, just keep practicing. There's nothing more important then seat time, I can't stress that enough.

I have the logictech driving force pro is it the same tip for the g27 or is it totally different

I've used a driving force GT and the feel is alot different from my G27

I have a G27 tho but I'll show this to my friend who owns one thanks.
 
It's easy once you get the hang of it. To initiate it, I do the scandavanian flick. Do that then quickly countersteer, but you gotta be quick on some cars. Instead of using the wheel to control your angle, concentrate on throttle control, using it to control the angle of the slide. Catch the slide by gently letting off the throttle and bring the car back in line by rotating the wheel straight again while fighting the force feedback, but don't let go of the throttle or the car will spin out. If you're too late bringing the wheel straight again you'll start to fishtail.

To do a sequence of drifts, as in drifting one way and then the other like in an S-curve, at the end of the first drift you let off the throttle and tap the brake, that will swing it the other way. Let go of the wheel and let the FFB bring it the other way but catch it before it goes to full opposite lock and apply some throttle right after the car swings the other way to catch it. It's only a matter of holding it. You can drift on straightaways that way and do a whole lap sideways on most tracks.

Well, that was my take on explaining it. English isn't my first language so if someone knows what I'm trying to say, I encourage you to clarify or correct me.

Thanks this should help, I've tried most of what you said but haven't practiced it because I didn't know if I was doing it right, do you suggest any tracks? I've been running on Tsubaka(?).
 
Tsukuba is good. Also, Autumn Ring Mini is a good starter track. If you want to practice chained drifts, I'd say Suzuka East Course. All of those are very good drift courses to start with.

What's your PSN? You've been a lot of help.

It does have a different feel to it, but its still the same techniques. I started on a DFGT then moved up to the G27 once I had enough of it. As for the e-brake rig, I still use the exact same rig on my G27 that I used for the DFGT.
