Hi! I wonder if anyone uses the Logitech Driving Force PRO Wheel? I bought it fot GT3 to PS2 and I dont seem To be able to drift with the wheel. If I use the handheld original control I can easy get above 10 000 points but with the weel i only get 0-4000 points. With the weel i just keep spinning of as soon i start to drift. With the handheld I can correct the car when it starts to spinn of but that doesent work with the wheel. Do anyone Else have the same problem? Do i need to buy a new wheel? I apologise for My noob qustions but I realy want to use the wheel when drifting. I keept spending the evning/night trying to drift with the weel so im wery tired at work today :)

Do anyone have a decent tuning setup that works with a wheel for a car thats good to start with? Please help me, otherwise My girlfriend will be crazy mad at me when i stay upp all night again trying to learn to drift with my wheel :)
 
Is it the driving force gt ? It's really hard to drift the wheel took me nearly a month to be able to drift on my dfgt.

No its the Driving Force PRO. I used it in GT3 and GT4. I dont know if Logitech has made a new one for PS3.

How do you have the settings for the weel? Simulation mode? Sensitivity?
Do you change the settings between racing and drifting?

Do you turn the wheel a lot when drifting or is it only small corrections?

It depends on what you want to do. If its speed you want then you want as little angle and counter steer as possible but still make the turn without slipping outside. If its angle, then Usually you will use quite a bit of counter steer, depending on the angle and sometimes the entry.

I don't think there's too many of us out there who still use the old DFP, drifting or grip racing included. I believe one of our fastest circuit drivers, Small_Fryz, still does. There's not a lot of settings options available due to its age, but check within the Options, as I want to say it's listed in there still. I haven't used mine in a year, but I do remember the wheel made drifting harder thanks to its over aggressive centering motor, and a general lack of force feedback compared to the newer wheels.
 
Not ever able to drift with the same wheel having GT5 & DFP from the beginning. The motor prevents you from rapid steering and correcting it over a specific angle, so IMHO no point in trying this.
 
^ True... The DFP IS pretty old... I hear people say DFGT's are pretty good so can try that out. Christmas is right around the corner after all!

Simulation mode
ForceFeedBack: 5-8 (maybe more if you're fine with tiring yourself out)

You would want to keep your settings the same whether grip or drift. You will grow accustom to the information you get from the road to the wheel and what your grip level is at a certain FFB.

Tiring yourself out? Im a lass using 10 FFB on the DFGT , which I assume has a stronger FB than the DFP :p
 
DFP and DFGT are nearly the same wheel..The only real difference is the buttons. The internal motor is the same.. And ForcefeedBack is the same..

I had a DFP back in GT3 too.It was a good wheel for it's day. Practice is what it takes. There is no easy answer, sorry.

Yeah, ive read that some that have the G27-wheel have the same problem. Today I at least got 7800 points at Deep forest with a BMW M5 :) Will take a LOT of practice to be good at it but know I belive its possible..

Anyone know were to find good drift tuning setups for thoose who use weels or maby its the same setups as for thoose who use a standard controller?

Wheels in general are harder to learn with. Grab a car, get the power up to around 350-450hp and keep everything else stock, it gives you a better feel and helps learning. I learned on a Nissan 240sx 96, upgraded the power but kept everything else stock, it helped me learn quicker than with something that was "drift tuned". Less power is better for learning :).
 
Could try picking a car that drifts out of the box also. Most of the cars I have I slide around without even the engine upgrades. Helps me get used to it usually. But everyone is different.

I still have my trusty DFPro. FF usually at 7, but it's been a few months since I drifted. Go back to FF 5 and work my way back up.

Simulation mode on and, although loud as a tank, do quite a bit of steering/wheel turns when drifting. I mostly use the feint, and combination of the lift off/power over to initiate. Once I'm in the drift, it's steady, small corrections. If I lose the drift, I usually just let the wheel go, so I don't fight too hard and injure the wrists. (Drummer here, and the wrists are a very delicate instrument if strained.)

I tried a G27 for a day, then returned it. It would be a whole different ball game -- learning again. Maybe if I took more time than half a morning to get used to it, it would be better. :scared: Still on my wishlist though.

Injuring your wrists? You're doing something wrong! The wheel should be sliding through your hand! I've been at it for about 8 months now (G27) and never an injury lol. If you feel you need to let go, you're going too fast!
