drifting trouble

[cbailey]

ok when i go to drift with fully modified and tuned and all the drift settings on tureno gt thingy with black hood, i enter the drift and towards the end i start to spin out, any pointers or settings to stop that?

 

[ForcedInduction]

well, its all about practice at this point. If you feel the tendency to spin out ur on the right track. You might want to lower the hp to about 250-300hp but that's personal preference. Make sure to initiate a counter-steer and modulate the throttle. And last but not least, practice practice practice

on the tureno its got 280 something and watching initial d and playing it in arcades i dont see whats wrong

or maybe its 380 something

The arcade game is beyond unrealistic. Ridge racer was more realistic.

As far as the anime goes, it's pretty true to life. But at the same time, it's not like to get to see exactly what Takumi does on every turn or more importantly the timing that he uses.

ID is cool. But don't base your GT3 drifting experience on it.

Like ForcedInduction said. It's a matter of practice. If you can get the drift going in a good line, that's the tuff part. So just watch how hard you're hitting the throttle and that you are rarely at the limit of your steering. It won't leave you anywhere to go.

-_________- playing initial D in arcades......you don't get the same feeling in gt3 do ya....if u did, somethign would be wrong. In gt3, its more realistic as in you HAVE to counter-steer to hold out a drift. Check some guides and practice.

Just let go of the gas like 1 sec when u exit then try to straighten it out with little gas then when its straight floor it. If your using sims on your car its going to be hard but if u used sports, slicks or normal u wont have any trouble exiting. Well maybe a little but whatevers just practice. Look at this guide

if u have any settings troubles, look at my sig

Yea, you are probably either punching the throttle at the end of the drift or just laying down on the gas the whole time. If you do that on simulation tires expect to spin around. Also, if you are having trouble with the throttle on sims, try using a different tire combination. Try this combination on your trueno:

Front: Sport Tires
Back: Super-Soft Tires

With these tires you will be able to have a much much higher entry speed and be able to control the drift. But just don't expect to rocket out of the drift at a higher speed. This drifting may be easier, but the entry speed is much higher than the exit speed. Unlike the sims, if you do the drift right and enter at the right speed, you can start to accelerate more through the turn, and actually leave the turn at a higher speed than when you went into it. So try the above tire combination for your FR cars and you will be able to have a more careless throttle input, and still learn to drift. When you feel your good enough, maybe put the sims back on and start really drifting the right way. I know it can be very frustrating starting out drifting, but practice really does make "almost perfect" (perfect drifting is pretty impossible). But don't get frustrated and give up. Change settings around, and learn to drift.

Ok, sorry. I have to say no to that suggestion. If he's having trouble with exits he shouldn't just throw on super softs on the rear. Not to mention the fact that it'll be harder to get the rear to slide out.

He's got a problem in his technique, not the car. As do I. The last thing anyone needs is careless throttle control. The kills the whole point of control.

Please don't change your settings just cause you spun out a few times or a lot of times. Don't mess with the suspension at all. Just put on an LSD, take your ASM and TCS of. Put on a set of normal or sim tires and have at it. Of course get all the drivetrain mods you want.

But again, please don't mix tires and try to tune the car around your technique. Learn good technique, then tune your car.

wats wrong with a stock car????

stock = da win

extensivly modded = da lose

Yea, you are right. The 'right' way to drift is explained by you above with sim tires. I'm just giving him an easy solution to make your drifts look better with less skill. It's not faster and is not the way you should end up drifting. I just happened to find this setup very easy to complete braking entry drifts with.

Ok, that's cool. I pretty much figured that you didn't subscribe to the "mixing" theory.
