Be there in abit. Just buying some parts for a few cars so I can bring them along to test and tune them and skid away then until Santa passes over the house :)


I can't join the room :(

error 774 and that kinda incompatibity ****e.


1472-6118-4130-9220-0006 too if anybody wants to come along as CHs one isn't working for me.

Gah! I went to the bathroom, came back and you'd joined, then left. Come back if you want LOL
 
I've been smashing B-spec lately because of the Signature Edition comp, and I need a break.

So does anyone fancy a bit of friendly battle practice this evening? I'm thinking of starting at roughly 7:30pm GMT (2 hours from now) for an hour or so.

I'll post a room number up about ten minutes before the start time. :)

Basically I'm thinking Autumn Ring Reverse running something like:

Yeah, I'll get on hopefully :) I'm not promising much though! Haha.

Just had a thought, are you going to advise on tire compunds to keep speeds similar to help with twinning?

Since it's just practice, and good twinning practice requires cars to have similar levels of grip, I will be limiting tyres to comfort hard, so any speed advantage will be purely down to the driver :)

Right, cool :) I had visions of people getting annoyed by being ploughed into by/ploughing into others because had sports soft and another had comfort hards.
 
No worries, I've been held up as Bob is being slow, he's at lap 180 of 200 in the Indy 500, so looking at around 15 mins. I'll post the room number up here either way :)
 
Hey! I've been browsing this forum for a while now, particularly the drifting section to see what people think about drifting in GT5. Now i decided to sign up to make myself known before i start playing with you guys! I wish everyone a great session, cya there :)
 
That was a good laugh and nice to drift with a few lads that know what they are bloody doing!!!

I kept getting disconnected as my router was acting up but think I sorted it now.

I really enjoyed the last "race" around Autumn Ring, some very nice drift-train action :)

Don't suppose ye got any videos or photos of the replay? I got disconnected straight after the race...


@twin-turbo: Yeah, just live about 3 miles from Julian and Walton's place. Heading to the UK was the best thing Walton ever did really instead of his old job here and messing about with cars on the side at the weekends etc.

Indeed, was pretty cool :) We'll have to do it again soon.

I did wonder what was up with you continually coming and going LOL

Yeah that last one was pretty sick, I might even go so far as to sayit was the best session I've had yet on GT5, at one point there were 5 of us tearing round in close proximity :D

I saved both :D I'll see if I can send them to you :)

TVR - don't remember.

If you see the smoke above the TVR ...that's the Castrol Supra spinning out.

Fun drift session. I thought I was much closer chasing Ivan. Might have to try a different cam to get a better idea.
 
Nice shots. Definitely a good session we had going on. I tried chasing you but I couldn't keep up 👎. But when I was leading you were keeping up pretty good 👍

Two great shots!!!
Very cool looking merc too!

I think its extremely important to have zero lag too when trying to get close, lucky enough we were all pretty good in that session.

Those two corners in the pictures are a prick to get a good line in at times when your trying to link the whole section... although its alot easier going that way than it is going down the hill from the hairpin!!!
 
Yea Ivan, me and you had lots of good laps during the free run. I think BigRay? BiggRay was drifting was us too. Had a some clean laps. I was using either comfort soft or sport hard. Made it nice and easy to dive into the corner and cut the gap off.

Those two corners in the picture are my favorite on that track. You can get a good angle entering it where you can't even see the next turn.

Not from this session.

Yeah, its really satisfying when you string the two of them together especially as they are blind.

Until I master those two, I love the 1st section upto that point. I was in 4th gear completely on the lockstops from the first corner to the last of the double lefts on most laps :)

Even though its such a short track its lovely for practice sessions and great for practicing transitions.

A few of you guys had it really going. It was my first time drifting online with the steering wheel. I've drifted on the the drift trial mode before and done pretty well (full laps without spinning or making mistakes). Now it felt very snappy and grippy. It doesn't feel smooth like it's supposed to feel. I don't know if lowering the Force feedback to 1 makes a difference. Anyway, i still had loads of fun and enjoyed the good company! :dopey:

The grip available in drift trial is unrealistically low. Learn on normal tracks and you'll be much better. Also, not sure what tyres you had on, but make sure you start off using comfort hard, as they are the most progressive for grip and least snappy.

I wouldn't be so sure. Here's a quote from a different thread. The user im quoting is "Souldrift".
I drift regularly in real life, and GT5 Online drift physics are terrible to say the least, feels nothing like real life, very grippy and snappy, and just unpredictable.

The drift mode physics are far more reprisentative of how drifting is in real life.

In real life: drifting feels smooth, the steering feels smooth, and the car dont snap like crazy when transitioning. GT5P Definantly felt closer to real life although it was still far to snappy.

Would be nice to get the physics to be same all around. It almost feels like NFS:S at the moment with 2 different types of physics. We dont have 2 types of physics in real life so i dont see why there is in GT5.

Heres a video of me drifting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j35G31r4PqM for any one who thinks im a keyboard warrior

I'd also like to add that i've drifted a few cars myself, on gravel and snow. I'm pretty good at it too. I haven't had cars powerful enough to drift on asphalt, but when i do im sure i can easily make the transition onto a different surface.
 
I much prefer the physics in the normal mode.

The drift-trail mode feels like your drifting in the rain and don't have enough grip for big entries and speed

Then when you try to get more grip with better tyres it just becomes ridiculously snappy so all you end up with to drift reasonably well is to potter around on comfort hards.


The normal mode and online I think is perfect and the grip is fairly accurate entries, transitions and exits feel alot closer to real life in my opinion and the cars handle more realistic too.

I don't see the point of drift trial mode anyway considering the points system is crap in any case.

I haven't used comfort hards for my drift cars. The soft's work fine for me in the drift trial. I don't understand what people are talking about when they say the cars skid off the track. They are not sideways enough then, maybe they are not applying countersteer fast enough. To me it feels great. I should come online again tonight and try some of my cars with the hard tires on. Maybe it's less snappy and grippy. I'm not sure though if i want to get used to the physics of the online mode, because again i think they represent drifting in real life very poorly.
 
Boxrdiesel, that guy may well have drifted a fair bit, but the fact is I'm one of the top drifters in Europe, and I learned on the PS2/3 (GT4, Enthusia, GT5P and now GT5) and I'm telling you I'm right. If you choose not to believe me, that's entirely up to you, but you saw my drifting last night, and I'm MUCH better than that in real life, so like I said, the choice is yours :)

The fact is, if you drive PROPERLY in real life and you are REALLY trying hard, a car set up with a decent amount of grip IS snappy. The problem is, most real world people who drift for fun set their cars up forno arse end grip, which makes them feel smooth. My R32 GTS-R has 550bhp and TONS of grip, and it's ANYTHING but smooth.

And if he's really finding it 'snappy' I think you'll find it's down to setup.

Edit: Just watched his vid, I instruct at Santa Pod and he's, to be fair, pretty rubbish. He's not using proper lines (middle of the track the WHOLE way round), there is no consistancy to his angles (CONSTANT steering corrections) etc, so he's not the best to be giving advice. And to top it all off, he's in a stock S13, which is about the easiest thing in the world to drift LOL

Sure, i'll believe you. I also do agree with what you said about the guy in the S13. You could instantly see hes a hobbyist. Still that doesn't make the online drifting feel like the real thing for me. It's all too slippery. I don't understand why is that so. I also hate the force feedback. You are supposed to feel the car through it, but all it does for me is make steering harder than it really is. I don't know how it is with other steering wheels but with the G27 it's literally rubbish. It's fine on normal racing but for drifting it's nothing but a nuisance.

So basically i'd like to know why the hell does it feel like im drifting inside a hockey rink at times? The back end feels rediculously loose and out of control.
