Going from a standard PS3 controller to a wheel takes a bit of time to adjust. I'd say it took me a good solid 10 hours of wheel time to get used to it, and even after a year of using a wheel, I'm still improving everyday.

You may want to try going into your options menu and adjusting the Power steering and force feedback.

You may also want to work on your grammar and spelling. I was warned about my first few posts here after I failed to capitalize.
 
Don't brake or gas too hard, you need to take it easy at first. Try running the track at 80% and see if you can handle it. Like the other Guy said it takes a while to get adjusted.
 
Took me about a day. Picked it up from there and ran with it. Try using slower cars starting out. Eventually you'll get to the race cars again.
 
after all that do the license tests and special events again, and finally try turning off ABS.

In the end the game is way more enjoyable when using a wheel, but also harder because of all the new inputs and lack of hidden assists.
That's what DS3 users don't get when they complain about wheel users having some kind of speed advantage.
 
The first time I tried a wheel I thought there was something wrong or I sucked and wasted my money. Kept on with it to justify the expense and now it is very difficult to use a controller and I'm on my third wheel. I can't see ever using anything else now. Stick with it, it's worth it!
 
Lift off the throttle.

You might want to start with slow cars first. It takes some practice to get use to the wheel.
 
Take you time, 1st off, stay away from FR and MR layout cars, and learn the basics of cornering using 4WD not too powerful cars.
 
Yeah at that start I thought the wheel was crap. But after a while you get used to it and it's easy! Just don't give up with it and do some lisence tests to get your skills up with it.

Spellings corrected for you 👍 .

Getting back onto the topic, you need to learn the art of car control and countersteer. If you go all hard onto the brakes when turning into a corner, the car is more unstable and you are more likely to have cornering problems. Try going slowly on the brakes, slowly lifting it up and push the gas pedal down only when you are completely sure you won't need to take it off again.
 
thanks guys and yes some times my spell'ing is rubish at times and i have taken on borad what all you guys said and after weeks and weeks or trying i have nailed on the head even taken it online and played whit some awesome people who all so said said the same thing as you guys and there is no way i would go back to a pad now:tup: but i would like some one or some of you guys to teach me how to drift

I could teach you how to drift. I am a GTP Drifting School Instructor.

Can't agree with you there, a lot of DS3 users (especially here) use little or no assists, just ABS at 1 and nothing else on is pretty common, and that's because there is a lot more give and play in a pedal than the little trigger/stick on a DS3, so it's easier to regulate. Also as far as I am aware you can use the same assists with a wheel anyway? And there are actually *more* options depending on set up to adjust brake bias etc. on the fly (this can be mapped to a controller too but it's kinda fiddly)

I just got a DFGT, haven't actually tried it yet but I think the consensus among those who have used both is that in most scenarios a decent wheel brings slightly better laptimes, and for cars with VERY twitchy steering such as the X2010/X2011 it's pretty much a must.
 
Brake in a straight line, coast through the apex, accelerate out

Takes a while to really get comfortable, especially while drifting.. But with time....
