I drift using analog(because I can't afford a wheel :( ), and I try to drift as best as I can with it, but the problem is that I can't seem to master the hairpin's drifts(other than hairpins, any corners are fine with me :) ).... I tried it with either low or high HP cars, it's hard to make the drift smooth... I always end up spinning out or into the dirt, if i did make it through the turn.. the drift would probably look crappy and slow, or the angle s*cks.. :)
Is it really that hard to drift a hairpin using Analog?
or do I need more practise? please enlighten me :)


p/s: I'm using SIMS, my drift car hp ranges from 200-400bhp...
 
to make it simple... I drift the most with Cudaman's setting FC...that car is sweet! :)

because I'm still not quite that good in drifting in GT3... so I don't quite made too much changes in my settings, I leave it all at default settings ... and I probably upgrade all the suspension , brakes, LSD, and a little more horsepower to it... so I can break the rear end loose easier... when I get better, I might try touching the settings again, other than that, all of my current settings are mostly stock, except for the FC which I use Cudaman's settings :)

hope this is what you need to hear :)

surprising.. i thought drifting 4wd was so easy.. love those 90+ angles you can do on the first try.. so relaxing

same here but it took me alot of practice to get it 180 degrees on the deep forest turn( the big one )
 
all i say is that the only way you can drift really good using the controller is if you have REALLY like SUPER accurate fingers and stuff.. because if you think about it. the wheel you can get the exact degree of turning and accelaration since its bigger. and with the controller its smaller therefor making small moves with the analog is lot more degree of turning compared to the wheel...

hmm did that make sense?
 
Can't agree more with you Oscarfulz :)

But since I don't have a wheel...
I'll just keep on practising with the Analog, I think Silvia Drifter is using an Analog too right?? well, he drifts very nice... so it means there is still possibility :)

thanks for the help anyway :lol:

I only use analog...nothing bad with that . Practice and you'll notice that you spend more and more of you're time in front of the TV with you're FC . Then you are a real drifter . But remember : do never hope for too much . I did that and it resulted a broken analog and small plastic parts all over the floor :D

btw . this how a drift car should be . NO HAIRPINS !

My technique to drift in a hairpin is, I use at the beginning the brakes (not e-brake), then I put the car almost at 90º (angle), then slowly press the gas.

Reached what? What I saw was you getting about a 90 degree angle on the drift, and then lose it into a wall. Perhaps you're confused on angles NK4E, as a 90 degree would be your front end facing the turn itself (which was about what you got in that clip), a 180 would mean you did one half a revolution and are traveling around the turn facing directly opposite of which you would normally, hence what I said earlier, "you'd be going backwards".
 
For doing hairpins, i do what Lancer Drifter does but before i do that i turn my car opposite of the turn and then steer the way the turn is going. Once my car starts to go in the direction of the turn i start the braking. that gets the car goin sideways more easier thanks to weight distribution. (a.k.a~ Inertia Drift...............i think)
