Can anyone help me with a thread I'm looking for. Been searching for hours now (damn dial-up!!) but have not been able to find it..
It was a little discussion on how people are using the DFP, talking about hand positions and how your arms cross over when cornering during racing and drifting.. Also talked about the difference of steering in the game and real life..
Does anyone remember this thread??
If not, I might as well start a new discussion. 💡
Obviously this will be directed at DFP users, but feel free to talk about your experiences behind a real wheel too.
I'm interested in discussing the hand techniques people are using behind the wheel.
Where do you place your hands on the wheel? At 9 and 3 or 10 and 2?
During corners where you must turn the wheel more than 180 degrees, do you hands cross and change places? or does one hand stay on the wheel while the other takes more of a back seat to steering and just assists?
When drifting, expecially during switch backs, do you let the wheel slide through your fingers and let physics take over? or do your hands cross over and change places multiple times? how many times?
Are you more of a "shuffler" (hands never cross)?
Whilst drifting do you find that while controlling the slide your hands are mainly on the bottom half of the steering wheel? or more on top or sides?
Do you like to "swing" the wheel and throw your car into a corner? How smooth are your inputs?
Describe your hand movements and steering techniques during your favourite corners..

I'll move this hand before a corner so I can get enough leverage as I go through. I might say move my hand down to 6, so that at the apex it's rotated around to 10? Gives me better control that way. For drifting I'll often wave one arm in the air for extra style points...
