Ok I wouldn't want to discurage you from asking questions, but try to search a bit before you post,this must have been brought up 20-30 times, this "may" help:https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=65876&highlight=ds2,I know it can be hard to search for something(time consuming and frustrating), but try your best before you post (it will just end up closed anyway).

Im sorry to say but the only sure way to get better is to practice. When i got my DFP some 5 months ago (damm time flys) i was very dissapointed with it to such an extent that i didnt use it for a month or two. One day i realised i had wasted the best part of £100 on a new ornament so decided to give it another go, again i sucked at it and still do compared to a few of the drifters on here but i have improved 100 times what i used to be. I messed around with the DFP settings and it made catching the drift a little easyer. I have it on simulation and the strength on strong. then i press select r3 (i think) and the downshift padde and it it loosens the DFP a little. I found this works for me. Watching vid from other people is also very helpfull as u can see there lines and angles. I learnt that you dont have to be doing 90 degree drifts everywhere like i was doing then wondering why i couldnt link any corners or be as fluent as others. Also search for GT4 maps as i found these usefull for learning lines.

So get behind that wheel and practice practice practice, and if you got anymore questions then PM me and i will try and help you or point you in the right direction. Try search the forums as 90% of the time what you are looking for will be on this forum somewhere.

one more bit of advice, dont expect to become a drift master over night because unfortunately its not going to happen.

Happy drifting

Thanks Spec,

Well, we have a good amount of new drifter threads and drifting faqs, references and other great info. Check on that. Once you do, if you have a specific question not addressed in those or you find the info and it's NOT helpful, come on back and ask a questions.

We encourage new drifters to be active. However, this is a very common early drifting problem(I had it myself ) So you'll find lots of info on it.
