This should be in the drifting videos subforum found here:

Make sure you use coMfort hards when first starting out as well, they're easier to learn with. Be patient and keep practicing. 👍

Yeah I'm semi new to this drifting lark, only other stuff I drifted on was the ridge series and out run but this is completely different.
I was a little lonely and wanted some company, wish the psn goes live soon.
I only recently started on the practice runs and apart from that I just used to play in random online rooms. To me drifting was merely about generating as much tyre smoke as I could but from the little I've played in drift runs I found out it's not. I've gone from getting 11K and 9K in full and sector to 20K and 16K, in about a week (Tsukuba).
Well yeah the nest step I guess is using my DFGT for drifting, I've tried and it seems so hard. Wish there was a way to cut the power to the motor, is there?

Since some update you can limit the amount of power in every car you own. Go into a race. Before the race goto settings, there go to engine. One of the amendable options is the power limiter. Here you can limit the amount of power of your car..
I figure you raced with the DFGT before? Start using it again and try going around Autum ring mini reverse as fast as you can in a car you like to drift. You will be spinning out all the time, but it will get better...
Good Luck! I did it; so can you!

I mean the power to the DFGT, I don't like the way it tries to centre I'd rather it was switched off. Also doesn't the power limited completely skew the torque? My current cars don't need to be limited anyway, they're all under 350 hp with my two favourites at a whopping 160. Well as I'm slowly getting better I've realised I need more power from those two.
Yeah I tried that in the exact same course you mentioned but after an hour of constantly facing the wrong direction my patience waned.
I guess if I really want to get better I need the control a wheel can offer.

ah didn't realise your not so new. yeah itdoes kinda feel like your raping the motors but you get used to it and get smoother. try to steer with throttle and match the countersteer, weight transition is probably the most important thing to balance ( besides throttle ) when you can do this you will realise you don't need much powar... any rwd car on the game could probably slide all of tsukuba.

What's the point in using a wheel if there's no FFB? Might as well use controller.

Because the FFB you get in your inferior wheels are spastically over-exaggerated. I doubt even the race modified trucks in real life are that hard to steer. Face the facts, your wheel is outdated and stupidly overpowered and quite honestly not fun at all to drift on, more like a chore.
EDIT: The DFP and I think the DFGT can both be used without the power supply, I did this with my old DFP before getting sick and tired of getting more of a workout from it than my weights. The G25/27 is different and honestly the FFB on a G27 set to 1 is less than a DFP/DFGT when it is unplugged.

Stop talking...
I dont think any of them racing trucks or cars even have power steering, so it would be harder, which is why they sit close to the wheel.
What your really describing is an ariel atom with power steering out of a lorry!

I find that the FFB is to strong but it is a good arm workout I guess, I honestly can't stand it. I will play with the motors on and probably racked up to 7 as Adavico suggested because I remember reading somewhere that the wheel centres faster (which contradicts what I typed before).
Actually the G25 and G27 can be disconnected from the power source and still function. I just tested the DFGT and it works also, I swear it didn't before. I guess you just need the motor to calibrate and then pulling out the plug is fine.
Only thing is the wheel feels wrong so think I'll just adjust the FFB to find a setting I like. Starting from scratch is going to be a pain I need to unlearn drifting with a pad and start over. At the moment the car just spins out even at low speed and I'm not fast enough to correct it.

I think too many people are fighting the wheel too much and thats why they say the ffb is too strong. mine is set to 10(DFGT) and im 6'2" 150lbs on a good day, my shoulders are fairly strong, but there's little to no effort in countersteering mainly because the ffb does the work for me(in the front wheels always trying to point in the direction of travel, as they should be i would think?)..truth be told i could stand for the ffb to be stronger as i'm used to strongarming an ghetto-lowered 86 z31 w/ no power steering...my advice, get out more and get some excersize...so you can drift in gt5 w/out a sweat

When the DFGT has been plugged in with power, then you can just pull out the power cord. The wheel will still work, but without force feedback; thats a fact. (though i dont know why you'd want that)
I never get tired from drifting in my arms; are you guys that weak? (as in not strong). I'm a small guy, tiny arms dude.. FFB set to 6

I hit 22K in a SL500 (Tsukuba full lap) last night gonna upload that later, but yeah I'm going to solely use my wheel soon. I want to stop using the pad but it's quite addictive, I keep seeing the mistakes I've made and know I can add a few more points. I'm still running stock running gear done stage 2 weight and it's at 360hp, thinking of NA1 because I'd like a little more power at lower revs. I've lowered it to -15 and set the camber to -1.7 at the rear.
How would I tighten up the car? I use the stock LSD but the rear is a bit to loose when cornering, the custom one is too tight. Would stage 3 weight help?
