I just noticed that i now drift cars without drift tuning them..example....i have an altezza with around 351 HP and put on a sport suspension and turned off TCS and ASM and it drifts well when it is forced to drift..very new and simple idea, and much easier for newbies. ( no offense )


Just do a little weight transfer and accel off and you brake traction:D
 
Lots of people here drift cars without tuning them. Leaving the car completely stock is good enough for them ;)
 
I only use tuning to make a car handle better for my particular style of driving. But that doesnt mean that you need to tune to drift. Infact i think its a valuable lesson to learn so people stop thinking that you need settings to drift. Thats like saying you need settings to race...
 
I know how you feel my friend, I started drifting practically stock and completely stock cars a little while ago. Also try making a car completely impossible to drift from messing with the settings, then forcing it. (i.e. Front tires: sims, back tires: Super soft)
 
I r to stoopid to tune a car to drift better... I can kinda tune the gears though.

Tuning isn't needed to make a car drift(except with a few certain cars). Example, RX-7, I haven't changed a single setting on it and it drifts fine(especially on rally, very fun).

Same here. I think for a noob that is heavy on the gas and wants to learn technique, they shouldn't go tune a car and equip sims, they'd just spin out. I think a good learning lesson would be to go into arcade cars and select drift and turn off ASM and TCS and learn accell off and fient. Learning accell off and fient with these cars would prove more usefull in my opinion because many of the settings that people share here for noobs are more for experience drifters and thus set up so that the rear would swing out easier and power over quicker.
 
Camaro/Corvette in A class, arcade mode...
Before I got the licenses(procastinating) I used them with ASM, TCS off and that was good practice.
 
I can't drift at all with cars that are low on hp. The cars I'm good at drifting with are above 400 hp and under 500 hp.
 
I think the reason why it won't let you is because GT3 has a sort of steering/accel/braking assist that is always on, even if the ASM/TCS systems are disabled.

Driving in GT3 with the Dual Shock 2 and EXACT real life car responsiveness would be almost impossible. You would constantly struggle with oversteer and understeer and braking too hard or accelerating too hard.

Try playing Driving Emotion Type S and you'll get a better idea.

One should be able to drift any car, regardless of power.

GT3 recreates that rather poorly.
 
Oh yeah, the whole topic of this post...

I tend to shy away from messing with suspension or whatever.
It seems I am more likely to make it harder for myself to drift than I am to make it easier.
 
Whatever works....that's what I use. Suspension is a must, SIMs are a must. other than that, it's whatever the car needs to drift.

sims are a must to drift? wrong! watch ANY of my videos(except the battlewith bustwave). I am proof that you don't need sims to drift, you need skill.








rock. :cool:
 
Niether is suspension needed to drift (well at least suspension upgrades, a car without susupension sucks). Cars do not need anything to drift (unless its ff but thats another storya nd a matter of opinion). The only thing that is needed is driver skill...
 
I'm not saying that sims require 0 skill, but, they are much easier to create drifts. The thing I used sims for was to learn proper throttle control. Now its all about Sports, Normal, and rally for me. Sims have too little traction for me, hard to do high speed drifts.
 
Too hard to do high speed drifts? Does anybody ever glance at their speedo when drifting? Many times I'm going 60, 70, or even 80mph drifting on sims. If you were to hop in your car and do that you'd **** your pants. So please define "high speed".
 
I can take sharp turns(90*, hairpins) faster with other tires drifting.

Sure you can take chicanes fast with sims, but not tighter turns(at least for me...)
 
Let's keep in mind anything under 100 mph in GT3 doesn't look half as fast as it did in GT1 or 2. I've not taken a look on my speedometer but I'm sure the speeds aren't much different from battle_stages'.

Regarding suspension, etc. I'd rather not touch much of that, I'm not too keen on how the car's look 'bottomed out' either. Stock drifting is pretty fun stuff.
 
yeah i agree with what battle_stage said but sometimes i like going fast enough so it looks fast in gt3 i mean it doesnt seem like you are moving fast in gt3 compared to reality
 
It's all about aspect ratio.
The faster you go, the more stretched out the road ahead of you looks. It's hard to explain.

Compare TXR3 and GT3 and you will get a better understanding.
Adjusting pixel aspect ratio takes alot of resources to perform, and GT3 already putting alot of strain on the system with high poly counts, increasing the pixel aspect ratio would probably kill the solid frame rate you get while playing.
