I just bought the logitech G27, in the wheel option do i need to change any setting? "ex. forcefeedback". also in game driving setting, do i need traction control and ABS? what i suppose to press to drift? I tried, but it keep spin out.

can anyone help me out. thanks
 
Hi, the ABS leave it to 1. The TCS 0. In the wheel options i recommend you to put the simulation physics and the force feddback depends on you, if you want a harder ffb or a softer one.
To drift get a RWD car with hard tires. Try to control it... It's more than that, but longer too.
 
Thanks for the information. Also on the G27 where is the e-brake? I couldn't find it. I try to change the button but it doesnt work. How am I suppose to drift without the handbrake? Or is there anyway to drift without the e-brake?
 
You adjust the angle with the handbrake or with the throttle. It has to be a RWD car. The use of the handbrake is upp to you. Only with the throttle you should drift more or less. Remember to wear hard tires.
 
I've been using the S15 all these while with about 420hp. I enter a corner and starts hard braking, as i feel the weight of the car shifts to the front, i turn the steering a bit and give it abit of throttle to get an angle and generally just play with thrrottle from there but the problem is as the car goes sideways, the weight of the car shifts to one side too making one side of the tires in "lift" mode, while i can get a good angle during this but the problem is when the weight shifts back on all 4 wheels the car starts to spin out no matter how hard i counter steer or let go of the throttle.

I need to learn a drifting method where the weight transfer of the car is at its minimal!
I've watched alot of drifting videos, seems that all good cars the car weight doesnt really roll that much from one side to the other side. any help please would be appreaciated
 
I'm using s15. This is what I do. I drive all the way to the 3rd gear. I hit brake when I'm about to hit the corner. Hit the clutch and go to 2rd gear and the car start to slide a little bit but then I end up spinnig car. I watched the drift king video try to learn the one he was teaching "shift lock" no matter how hard I try my car keep spinning. Some part I dnt really get it on his video.

Could u teach me step by step how u drift ur car? Thanks
 
there is no rite or wrong way man, just barge it and try to find how far you have to push your car to get around the corner, its like art, i could tell you how i do it but my may prolly wont work for you. i would how ever suggest u use a lower powered car that way you can focus more on getting your counter steer down and then upgrade later and start trying to link corners and push for more angle.
 
I'm not the chosen one to teach you drifting. Sorry I'm still a "advanced" noob. I still have too much questions... Someone will teach us, i hope...
 
i use the g27 and faint to drift (steerin away from the corner and turnin sharply back into the corner) then hit the throttle hard to rly get some good angle then counter steer and play with the throttle to keep the drift going thru the turn. i only use the hand brake if my angle into the corner isnt very good and i need to "slide in a straight line" to fix my angle into the turn so i can make the turn and not end up slidin over the rumble strips. my car most of the time is the 300zx, 560 hp, comf hard tires,

How you use the hand brake on G27? I don't have button for the hand brake.

Its the button on the shifter that would be where the "O" button is on the controller.

I, too go a G27 today and have questions.

How do I handle the snap-back steering? The car goes straight into a spin out, I cant hold sideways for more than a second.

Also, I'm pretty heavy handed, how possible is it for me to break the wheel by fighting the force feedback?

To control snap-back, try to not get too much angle. Too much angle requires too much countersteer, which leads to snap-back. Also, the APEX book has some drifting tips with setting the suspension. (For purchasers of CE and SE).

If the engine is in the front, try and ease off the throttle slightly (not all the way) and be smooth on the countersteer. You will also need to gain a feel for when it will snap. When you sense it about to snap, stomp the brakes a bit, and accelerate out. This will throw the weight forward then back to abruptly stop the drift. This technique takes some practice, but can force an unstable car to be tame.
 
i have a few tips for learners
1: start of with a low hp RWD car , like a silvia k series , mine has about 245hp an is enough to learn.
2: i allways try to initiate a drift bij doing the scandinavian flic , but be gentle.
3: if your car is slowing down during a drift , you can allways give a clutch kick , also to initiate a drift , this is a good trick.
4: i rarely use the e-brake , its very hard to control.
5:watch a lot of onboard movies of drifters , you sometimes see the way they drift , and pick up a few tricks or hints.
6: Patience , patience and again , patience , drive lap after lap , day after day , drifting is something you cant learn in 15 min.
7: i have made a few drifttracks in the track creator , i pick the tokyo bay scene and a short very curved track , allways nice to have a small track to drive , that you know well, just to learn .
8: tsukuba , drive it every day with the same car , and you will learn eventually, i allways find myself with a big grin on my face when its starting to work out.
9 : IMPORTANT , use comfort tyres , i find all other tyres to grippy , especially when the car finds it, grip again , and throws itself the other way.
10: sometimes a small amount of camber to the front wheels reduces the understeer and gives you more angle. the max for me is about -1.0
those are a few tricks an tips i can give u , i use a G25, with no aids , not even abs, no servo , and hardest ffb.
if u want to add me and drive a couple of laps behind me on tsukuba , pm me.
and keep dorifto fun :-)

it keep spinning out

I had this soooo much untill i saw some G27 vid on here somewhere.

After you sharply steer into the corner and let the wheel spin to countersteer; catch it, but then steer into the turn immediatly again.
How much is offcourse a matter feeling. Once you get that down you can basically hold the drift by throttle and small steering inputs into the turn for more angle, or out of the turn for less (but thats still a tricky part for me..).

Now getting out of the drift nicely is where im struggeling. It seems almost easier to let it spin again and turn in again to transition into the next, but thats not what i want. yet.

Hahaha, I saw the word "Barge" and I knew you were from Canada before I even looked at your profile, so sick lol
