Thanks for the tutorial, this tutorial is like a proper professional tutorial by one of the character in Gran Turismo 7 license centre, which the game has currently missed out.
I originally wrote a negative comment about this video, but I immediately retracted it once I realized that this video is actually teaching alot in just a short amount of time, which can be easily overwhelming for new drifters. Especially in a game as difficult as gran turismo. I would love to congratulate sim action for this video and its success. It took me about a week, but I was able to get a steady, clean, and balanced drift all the way around the track. My advice to new drifters out there, is to purely pay attention to your foot positioning on the throttle, and make sure you are in a position that gives you the most control. For me, that's my foot fully covering the pedal and giving it the power it needs. Unlike controller, you can't continuously blip the throttle to control the car, you need to keep your foot constantly paying attention to the angle of the vehicle, and let instinct take over the wheel. Thinking too much into it is going to make you spin out or loose control.
This tutorial was amazing, been practicing on gt7 till I get my own 240SX with an engine swap for the SR20DET. These tips saved me hours of spinning out!
Thanks a lot man! And that's really awesome, I'm really glad that this is helping. Thanks a lot for your feedback, i really appreciate it! And I hope that my videos keep helping you to improve 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thanks again bro. Yeah these are the essential parts of the practical execution of the drift. The rest is just more details to better understand what to do and why we do it.
This tutorial is phenomenal! When i try to explain to beginners, how i keep my car under control, i really struggle to explain, what i am doing and why. From now on, i will just show them your video.
Thanks a lot man!! I used to struggle with it the same issue. I don't think anyone can ever simply just put it into clear words without the aid of good visuals. This is only part 1, and I'm planning to explain every single detail related to the subject in the numerous coming parts. So stay tuned and thanks again 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Well said. It's one of those things that's really hard to explain because it's so much about feel. I remember being taught to drift way, way back in my teens using a kart. I had a great teacher, but failed over and over to initiate and hold the drift. Then one attempt I got it, and never had a problem again. Once you feel it, it locks in, but it's hard to convey verbally as knowing all the exact steps perfectly, still doesn't quite unlock it.
Thanks a lot man!! And wow that's actually very good progress from your side. Seems like you're a natural drifter, seriously! I hope my coming videos keep on benefiting you. Best of luck 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Wow, you can actually charge good money for this video series! Part 1 is very professionally done. It's not just about having the critical concepts, but you know how to effectively convey them to the audience. It takes a lot of effort to piece the clips together, as well as to draw the diagrams to illustrate the concepts. Thank you for all the effort you have put in!
Thanks a lot man! Yeah I actually filmed all the driving parts back in May 2022, when I started generating the plot for the video. I had to discontinue the progress later, till I found the best way to include some clear voice-over. My own voice was not working for me, so I was waiting to get some good equipment for clear professional recording. Then lately, I discovered this brilliant realistic sounding AI tool, which is not so perfect but much better than recording my own voice in my opinion. I tested this format in the FFB video guide to see how well will people perceive it. It turned out to be the best performing video on my channel by far. So I became more comfortable with the idea, and relieved that I would not ruin the info with some bad execution you know. I'm so glad that people are liking it and I hope it goes as viral as it deserves. I know this deserves to charge money for, but I don't think anyone would even try it without any proof that it's worth it. Right now my goal is to well establish my channel and make it the number one destination for people looking for Gran Turismo content. It's not even monetized yet, so that's the first milestone to conquer. After the success of the FFB video which has generated 879 view hours by itself until this moment and still going, I think the required 4000 view hours for monetization are now very easy to accomplish with this drifting series. Thank you for your nice comment, and for your continuous support! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
@@SimActionClips Do you mind sharing which AI voice generation tool did you use? It's really good! I tried to find one but none were good and free. Good luck with monetizing your content, you deserve the reward. I used to get some reward from my channel too (all lacked voice narration), but nowadays I'm busy with family so I neglected my account and was already demonetized by RU-vid. Oh well, too bad!
Sure man it's this website: www.synthesia.io I had to do some tricks though, cause the free version gives you only a limited number of characters to type, and you can't even download the clip when it's done, unless you have a paid subscription. So I had to download a cracked version of Movavi Screen Recorder to capture the sound. I open my generated short clips in different browser tabs and play them back to back while recording. I then adjust the spacing in the video editor. It takes more time this way but it's still much easier and faster than recording my own voice lol. Thanks for your kind wishes bro! Yeah I feel you since I barely have time to do the things I want myself. But that's life.
@@SimActionClips yup, I've tried these free websites and indeed, lots of limitations for the free demo! I was able to extract the audio out of the video easily with free tools like VLC player or Handbrake; didn't have to do screen recording. But it is painful to combine them altogether. Amazing to know you've went this far to get the narration in, hats off to you!
I was able to get gold in the first two drift missions, because of this tutorial. For that, I am forever grateful. Lol... It took me a bit, but I was determined not pick up that damn controller.
That's awesome man, I really like how this helped that much! I hope the future videos keep helping you getting better at this 🤟🏻🤟🏻 And thanks a lot for your feedback!
I have the Thrustmaster T150 and so far its been impossible to drift with. Its equally difficult when trying to countersteer during a race. I have played around with the steering wheel settings, but until this video I was unaware that the controller sensitivity setting had anything to do with the steering wheel. Awesome video, great explanations.
GT7 is super hard to learn drifting in compared to most sims out there. Don’t be discouraged. I’m on a T-GT2 and I’m sucking BAD at drifting as well. It just takes a lot of time to learn this skill. The car you use also matters a alot. Almost all the typical drift cars are SUPER twitchy. This BMW used here is so much easier. And some of the american muscle cars are even easier than this. Big cars are like drifting in slow motion. Much easier. Like driving a boat.. whereas the ae86 and silvias etc are super duper squirrely. High power engines are also an absolute disaster for newbies. Same with high RPM turbos.. where all the power just kicks in after 5k.. so hard to control. A car with about 200hp and no turbo will have the smoothest power band for newbie drifting. Keep at it, you will improve :)
So glad this helped man and thanks a lot for your feedback! I appreciate it! What @JimmyNuisance said is very true. Just keep going 🤘🤘 You can try this latest setup I made for the S14 which makes a great car to practice with: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LqtZ2Ud21ik.html I will be recommending it in my Part 2 which I'm currently making using this car.
This is really awesome man! I'm really glad that this is helping! Thanks a lot for your feedback, I appreciate it. Best of luck in your journey into this rabbit hole 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thank you for this really high quality video with excellent explanation. Love the interior view driving with the view lined up exactly in the spot of the virtual wheel too!
I just want to say thanks a great deal. I finally started to be able to do your first part of the tutorial to be able to initiate a drift and counter steer without spinning out. Even though my q55 prism tv has no Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM). haha. It is do-able. I finally realise that you did not turn in hard before you blip your throttle. You were turning the steering wheel at fixed angle to keep up with the circle and maintaining your speed around 64km/h plus minus. After which, you have to feel whether the car starts to be at the point where the tyres are at its limit before drifting through the feedback of the wheel. That is the point where you depress fully on the throttle and release totally in a moment while faster helping my g923 wheel to counter steer in the opposite direction before turning back to face the front. To be able to do it multiple times round the big circle makes me excited! Thank you once again for this tutorial! You are awesome❤
You're welcome! That's some great news man! Yeah it is do-able for sure. I actually learned everything I know with high latency on my older Samsung TV. It wasn't until last year that I had ALLM. But it does make it much easier and much more controllable. Yes that's a good description of what's going on, seems you got it well figured out. Just one point about the front tires before initiation. I wouldn't say they're at their limit, they're somewhere near maximum grip. You can feel it with heavier ffb, if you try to change your steering angle at that moment. Being able to feel it right also helps a lot in racing and hot laps, as you would be able to judge the level of grip at the front and also use it for good slip angle while trail-braking. I will be better covering this particular case in detail in future videos. I'm so glad I could help this much, and I know how good it feels when you start getting the hang of it. That's really awesome! Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to share this, this means a lot! 🤟🏻🤟🏻❤
Thank you for your tips. Any other game I’ve played I’m actually pretty good at drifting, but I guess none of them are real and this drifting is still kicking my ass but I’m just starting to make baby steps now…
You're welcome man, I'm glad this helped! It takes a lot of practice at first, but later it becomes part of your normal habits. Keep going you can do it 🤘🤘
Me and a mate was trying to drift the Grand Valley lastnight too. This is a fantastic tutorial mate! Been going in circles for 20min now and can’t figure out why the outside front lights up. Wannabe rwd drifters like me thank you!
You're welcome buddy so glad this helps! The outside front tire is the one that holds more weight than the other during a drift. Wrong input which cause understeering will light it up. Stay tuned for more advanced information in the coming videos 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
I just want to thank you for helping me! After many many tries I really focused with my G29 and your video on just “initiation of the drift” and paying attention to the throttle input guide on screen. I really made progress tonight 😊thank you!
@@SimActionClips oh snap! I really had another perhaps , thee breakthrough necessary as far as throttle modulation. Watching the footwork and listening to the sound of the engine revving like a song. When my engine revving sounds like yours guess what happened? Sliding and tire smoke using my G29!!! Yes! Thanks again! More study, practice and success.
Really awesome bro!! Yes engine sound feedback is very important. Use a headset if possible it almost eliminates any delay and makes it much easier to control.
Hey mate ! I just wanted to thank you for this tutorial, i have a t150 and thought drifting will never be possible, but now its been somme hours and getting better every time! I ve just liked the m3 from 2007 better. THANKS A LOT
You're welcome mate! That's really awesome, thanks a lot for your feedback! And that's also great if you can drift the 2007 M3 well, then stick to it and keep practicing 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I can't download the update right now because my internet connection at home is down. The employees of the internet provider company are on a strike 😅. I want to try the new physics so bad and I just can't. I hope this gets resolved soon. My friend is telling me the feedback has changed a lot and it feels weird rn. I need to test that.
Thank you so much. I just started using the wheel and it’s great until i lose traction. Then i spin almost every time 😅 So now i want to learn drifting to fix this problem. Thanks for the instructions
You're welcome and I really hope this helps you improve with time, while learning the right techniques. There is also a part 2 if you didn't watch it yet with a lot of more parts come:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aNb7f5VzA2E.html
@@SimActionClips yeah i watched p2 too its so fuckin pro level teaching. illegal to see for not paying it thx for your work. i can drift in asetto corsa w every level car and i dont even know it was this deep😆
@@SimActionClips its much easier w drift pro level cars than stock af cars. stock cars takes much skill, mechanics and need keeping the momentum but in pro cars if u can handle w high power and can be responsible with it just smash throttle to the ground link the whole layout ahaha
haha well many people tell me I should charge money for these lessons. I just want to grow my channel as big as possible for now. You're absolutely right and there is more to it... one should start learning with road cars and later switch to pro drift cars to avoid developing bad habits. Like you said road cars teach you how to maintain the momentum which translates to smoother and better planned drifting in pro cars. And using angle kits while learning is a big no go to me as they are widely used the wrong way these days. One should start without an angle kit and switch to using it the right way after mastering everything about drifting without it. It leads to much cooler looking smooth drifting later.
excellent video. a tutorial on how to drift properly is sorely missing from gt7. This is what exactly what i needed to grasp the concept on how to drift
Thanks for the help, I’m trying to master drifting in the GT86. While I didn’t put the settings as the same as yours (I got settings 5/5/5 instead of 5/10/10). After practicing for about 10-15 minutes, I can initiate drift without spinning out or gripping, about 50% of the time. Tomorrow I will practice some more, it’s actually more fun than I expected 😂 (And yea the GT86 is tuned, but it still only has 207HP/395PP.)
This is the single best drifting instruction video I have ever seen. I have a G29 and 2 weeks ago I watched this video and started learning. Now I can constantly drift counter-clockwise with the M3. This is thanks to you! I'm really keen to see the next part of this "course". I'm thinking about upgrading to the Fanatec GT DD Pro wheelbase with the CSL Elite WRC wheel. I'm wondering should the controller sensitivity be set to 5 also with other wheels than G29? 🤔
Thanks a lot man! This is really awesome I'm really glad I could help this much! Yes the controller sensitivity setting should be set to 5 for all steering wheels to work best. You can watch this video if you wanna know in detail why I set the values this way: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oEe5ZchqbMg.html I also have a Thrustmaster TGT2 and use it with this setting set to 5. I've even spent the day further testing and tweaking things, just to confirm to myself that all the FFB settings still work the same after the new update 1.31, and they all do.
Well thanks a lot! The G29 is a not bad wheel but it's slow for drifting. I have to keep helping it spin fast enough most of the time which adds to the work that should be done when drifting, compared to the real thing. That's why I've now switched to the Thrustmaster TGTII 👌🏻
I’m glad to hear that… I tried and tried to complete the drifting tasks but couldn’t do it to save my life… I swapped to my controller and had them completed in ten minutes
Very useful 👍👍👍 Thanks a lot man , I am waiting for Part II... I still haven't found the way but you said things Which help me understand that I'm in right way... Drifting with controller is another word and much easier, but the wheel makes me feel a useless piece! If I manage to drift, you Will be a part of this success.
Thanks man and you're welcome! I would be really glad to help anyone succeed and I really hope this helps. I know where you're coming when comparing it to controller. I started drifting with controller on PS2 in Enthusia and GT4. I switched to drifting with a wheel on GT5 using the Logitech Driving Force GT. It felt like i had no idea what to do, and I felt like I was physically incapable of doing it. It's just normal at first and takes some time to build it as one of your habits. You just need to stay patient and keep practicing. It will all come to you by itself. It made a drifter in real life, able to beat anyone who doesn't practice on a sim.
@@SimActionClips I bought a steering wheel 3 months ago. At first I couldn't even turn in a race without going off the track. when I started learning I found that for so long I was driving wrong even with the controller. And even worse, I realized that I was wrong even in the actual driving that I have now improved. However, things that I do comfortably on the controller are impossible with the steering wheel. But I won't give up, I've played close to 400 hours on gt7 and I hope something comes out of it. Thanks again for the video and like I said I'm looking forward to the next part.
Yes man everything you said is very normal. On top of that, I even kept on developing and improving my driving for years and getting rid of so many bad habits. For example i qualified and was a finalist in GT Academy International 2014, after already being a competitor in the local drifting championship. I was really good compared to others. Yet still, it wasn't until around 3 years ago that I got rid of so many bad habits in my driving and improved my laptimes by so much just by eliminating things that used to do wrong. I believe that it's a lifelong learning curve and simply the more you practice the better you keep on getting with time. You're welcome man and thanks for the support! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Such a good video, i've had seen many drifting tutorials on many sims and steering wheels, i get to practice but i felt that i was not getting better due the different setup's and sensation of driving from one to another wheel, i saw the steering configs video too and setted my configs the same, i'm using gt7 and g29 too, also, the explanation was much clearer. wainting for the next part
Thank a lot man, really glad this helps! I hope the future parts help you get better at this. I might be also doing videos for how to best setup the ffb in other sims too. Enjoy! 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
This was great! going to go home and apply these settings. I was wondering why my 86 was alwasy spinning out so much and was not able to catch its counter steering point. Amazing video! Thank you so much.
@@SimActionClips Tried last night and boy does my car keep over steering . not sure what it is.. I start turning and hold down the pedal and as soon as my rear T's begin to slide i let go of the gas and counter steer but as soon as i gas again it just does a complete 180.. so frustrating. Maybe I'm not catching the counter a good angle? so stressful lol
It will take some time at first to get the hang of it, so be patient man. Mainly, you need to focus on being as gentle and smooth as possible with your input changes. A good idea would also be to film yourself (showing your inputs clearly) and watch what you're doing wrong in the video. When caught up in the moment we can't see everything very clearly like watching things from a distance. But in all cases you're teaching yourself a new habit, and your body needs some time to develop the right reactions for it, so keep practicing bro.
@@SimActionClips I see, that was good break down. I'm using the Shigeno version of the ae86, should i change any of the tuning or can the car drift with it being stock? btw I'm getting a little better at catching the wheel when mid drift but damn its hard.
haha be patient bro, it takes some time at first. Still normal even if you've been trying for a month now. You can do it for sure, just stay persistent 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Well thank you! I'm self taught, and I know the struggle and waste of time resulting from not being properly educated on the subject first. Moreover I got to deal with getting rid of bad habits developed over the years, and I know how much time and experience it takes for one to finally notice by himself the not so obvious and counter intuitive details. More advanced Tutorials are coming, and I'm planning to cover every single detail related to drifting. 🤟🏻
This is by far the best drift tutorial video, but I’m still having trouble. Whenever I initiate the drift, I spin out, no matter what. I try using a lot, a little, and no throttle. Whatever I do, I always manage spinning out. I’m not sure if there’s a setting I disabled or something but I’ve been trying for a while and I can never manage to drift
Thanks a lot! Which wheel are you using and how did you set the ffb settings? Also for how long have you been trying? It's normal to keep failing at first and it's also normal for it to take some time before you become able to catch it right. Even trying for 2 weeks straight and not yet figuring it out is still normal btw.
@@SimActionClips I’m using the same wheel as you, and set up the exact same settings. Using the same car aswell, completely stock. I’ve tried for like a month, using different cars, trying 4wd, rwd, and fr. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I always spin out, no matter what I do
Okay then try using some tires with less grip. They'll slow down things for you a bit but you would also have to be more smooth and gentle with your input changes. Try all 3 different comfort tires and see which one you find easier. Give each type enough practice time.
I got the g29 w shifter recently then got a full setup rig, and let me tell you, its so hard drifting, but i enjoy it quite well, this vid will definitely help me improve and genuinely i like the wheel, sure its not the very best but its definitely good, it makes things harder which can also help you later on
Congrats on your new equipment, they sure are all worth it. Drifting is gonna be hard to get used to at first, which is normal. It's gonna take some time. You just need to be patient and practice a lot. And as you said, the G29 is still a good wheel, and it makes things harder which can definitely help you later on. Enjoy! 🤟🏻🤟🏻
The front suspension geometry that causes the front wheels to want to follow the momentum of the car is call "castor". It works Just like a shopping trolley. The more castor you add the easier it is to drift
I know man, thanks for sharing. It's caster*. But I wanted to simplify thins for the viewer, and more detailed explanation of caster would be unnecessary added info which is beyond the scope of the tutorial. Cheers man 🤟🏻
Not usually excited by youtube content but the level of effort you put in yours is really impressive. Really neat and clear. As many said , this should literally have been in the game !
You're welcome and thank you! Do you mean the force feedback sensitivity or the max torque? I don't think the force feedback sensitivity at 10 will not damage any steering wheel. At least not the G29 nor the TGT2 nor anything in between these 2 like your t300. As for max torque I'm only recommending 10 for the G29, I don't think the t300 will need it to be this high. I have on 6 for the TGT2 and 10 for the G29, so the t300 should require something in between.
Thank you for this huge compliment! So many good memories! I actually learned the theories behind the good techniques from the drift bible episodes back in the days. Keiichi Tsuchiya is the man behind my love for drifting.
Thanks for the video man. I'm about to abandon learning how to drift for good, though. I've been trying for years! Watched a bunch of videos, practiced for many hours on end, multiple sessions... but can't seem to be able to grasp the concept. Even after your video! I'm beyond frustrated at this point.
This is the best, and most informative tutorial I have ever watched, thank you, I understand the theory now. BUT, I just think I´m to impatient, I tried. HARD for half an hour, the first minutes I couldnt even get it to slide, then I remembered, I have the TCS on 3 (after the new update I unfortunately had to change from 1 to 3, because I´m to agressive with the throttle) I find it hard to cope with changes 🙈 Well, I give up for now, either that, og brake something 😆😇, after I set the TCS to "0", the car just spun,..I cant figure out how to catch it?🤔, but its me, not your exellent tutorial,….it looks so easy in the video, and when LZ does it in real life, I have to practice, a lot 😆 But thank you again, this made it easy to understand the basics.🙏🏻😃
You're welcome man and thanks a lot for your feedback and your compliments! Well half an hour is nothing really, try weeks instead 👻 It actually takes a lot of practice at first, and it takes a long while for someone new to get used to it. Try to be more patient and practice daily and persistently for a long period keeping in mind that it's very normal to fail a lot at first. I hope this helps you get there and thanks a lot for the support 🤟🏻🤟🏻
@@SimActionClips I know my patience is the problem 😆, half an hour is a very long time for my brain, both autism, and ADD 🙈🙈🤪, so I have to practice in small bits 😁 I can give you an example, the time trials in the game, when a new one appears, I drive it ONCE, usually gives me at least the bronze, and then I do not persue it anymore, because I get frustrated if I dont improve drastically on run 2 😁 Knowing that, its just better to leave it, and drive something that I DO like 😆 But I will keep trying,..in small bits 😆
I think I just need to practice more, but do you have any more tips? (I have the same set up as you with the untuned bmw) (I wasn’t given the chance buy the Silvia car you recommended)
haha yeah these ruin your control pretty bad. Thanks for the comment, I'm guessing most people telling me they still can't do it are facing the same problem. I'm gonna be recommending this more often from now on, since people can easily overlook it.
That's very true. I learned to drift on GT5 with a DFGT and immediately transferred to easily drift in real life with a huge advantage over those who don't do simracing. I felt it to be much easier than in game and that has a lot to do with the absence of the sense of G-forces acting on our bodies when driving in the game.
Not gonna lie, I’m totally lost, watching this BUT I’m going to watch it, a few times because I need to learn. Especially as I just bought gt7 psvr2 and g29 wheel.
It's tricky at first if you're not familiar with the concepts involved. If you're gonna be repeating this video to better understand, I suggest you repeat each part alone until it gets clear then move to the next one. I also highly suggest you start learning without the VR as you need to be able to see your own steering wheel. It's surely more fun with VR but that comes after you have mastered your controls without it. Congrats on the new goodies and enjoy 🤟🏻🤟🏻
@@SimActionClips thanks for the advice. I think that I will play on tv at first, to make sure wheels working properly and then I’m going to move straight on to vr, just for a bit. Just because I’m super curious, how it will look in vr, how it feels in vr and if I feel it’s easier, actually being on the track, in Vr. I’ll have a little fun, oh and of course, test if I get bad motion sickness, because that really bothers me and then after I’ve had a feel for it, I will go back to playing on tv, to try and learn the stuff, you showed, in this video. 👍
You're welcome man! And of course, I only meant that about the drift practice part. I think you can jump right away into VR racing and even test how it feels for drifting. I want to get one myself but I'll wait a bit till the prices get cheaper. I'm sure drifting will be much more fun with VR.
@@SimActionClips oh, am I right in thinking that all I need to do with my g29, is simply plug it in and chance controller sensitivity to 5 and torque to 7, forcefeedback to 100 and I’m good to go?
Thanks for this great tutorial! You explained it very thoroughly. Can I ask a few more questions? 1) I have M3 '07 and Nissan S15 tuned and set exactly like your S14 (in your part 2 tutorial).... which one would you recommend for beginners? 2) When initiate a drift, after the rear starts spinning out, do you just let go the steeeing wheel to let it turn back or you physically turn it back? 3) I'm still far from drifting 😅 .... I keep having a problem of either the car straightened out or spinning.
Hello, you're welcome man, and thank you! 1) I don't think the tune of the S14 will work exactly the same on the S15, but I'm not sure how good it can be, need to test that. I would recommend both he the S14 and the M3 for beginners along with many other similar cars like this stock brz: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AWGFfbg7jdU.html However, taking the same specific car for each tutorial as a start is a good idea, i.e. the M3 for part 1 and the S14 for part 2, then trying different low to mid powered cars later. 2) It depends on your steering wheel. I can just let go of the TGT2 most of the time with the right settings, but I can rarely do that with the G29 and need to help it a lot more. 3) That's very normal for everyone to experience when new to drifting. It took me many days to start to get the hang of it back when I started, and it can take weeks and more than a month which is still very normal because it's a new physical skill that requires muscle memory. So you need to keep training your body and brain for it to become part of your physical habits. Also, and this is very important to be much more in control, USE A HEADSET or at least some earphones. Never use the speakers of your TV unless you're using the fiber optic connection for audio from the PS4. The difference in audio delay can be immediately felt, and the initial delay from the speakers completely ruins your input timing. This alone can reduce your frustration dramatically.
Soon man, I'm sorry you guys, I'm not having enough free time to even turn on my playstation lately. I'm currently working on furnishing a new apartment to move there after getting married around a month from now. I will try to finish part 2 soon. And after I relocate I will have much more free time to continue the series properly.
Dont understand i have the same wheel, car and settings, yet im unable to even initiate the drift, when i blip the gas and try to turn my wheel, it doesnt turn, even on a forcefeedback of 1, my wheel doesnt turn
What forcefeedback setting did you put at 1 and why? I didn't get that. These are my recommended settings for the G29: - Controller Steering Sensitivity: 5 (very important for all wheel users) - Max Torque: 10 - Force Feedback Sensitivity: 10 Also go to the main menu and click on the GT icon at the top left corner, then click on options > controllers > vibration function > vibration strength, and set it to zero. This setting gives you more vibration details but the more vibrations you get the more numb the steering wheel feels in terms of sensitivity to direction changes. And you need every bit of responsiveness to direction changes to react faster to these. Also keep in mind that this takes time to get used to doing it right. You need to keep trying and failing until you start getting it right. I don't know what's happening in your case, I need to see it, but maybe you're going to fast at the initiation that the rear end is not stepping out?
So you kinda gotta turn you wheel all the way while having the gas alll the way down and release and catch at the right angle. i was really confused at first too.
So I must not be doing something right because I have tried to start from a slow role and blip the throttle but everytime iI do it always seems that the car grips to much and does'nt make the back tire slip any suggestions on how to improve this?
Well first of all don't have the expectation to immediately succeed with it, as this can take you a whole week of daily practice to even start to get used to it. So what you're describing can be very normal and just require more practice to fix. Try different speeds until you find the sweet spot, it's always the best way to learn. That speed depends more on which car you're driving and even which tires you're using so it's gonna change for each situation. It's not something to memorize or even monitor in numbers while driving because it's not a constant factor. You just need to practice a lot to get to a point where you can feel and anticipate how the car will behave. If you’re new to this I highly recommend that you keep practicing a lot, and on a daily basis if possible. Keep trying to initiate and learn what's happening during the process. It will be frustrating and can even feel impossible at first and that's totally normal trust me. If it takes you a month to only start to get the hang of it that's still very normal. In this exercise and using that M3 in default setup I kept it in 2nd gear all the way. And btw you can try different initiation techniques and see wich one suits you best, but I think this is the simplest and easier one. All the other techniques are explained in part2 which I've just published around 13 hours ago: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aNb7f5VzA2E.html Also which wheel are you using and did you try my recommended ffb settings?
Ok thank you and yes I am using the ffb for the g29 and I will keep daily practice one thing that was making it harder for me was the traction control but now that I turned that off I am able to slide a lot easier now thank you for the feedback!
Oh that was the problem! you should always turn the traction control completely off to drift, also turn all other assists off except for ABS because these totally ruin your control over the car, I even mentioned that at the end of the video. I currently use ABS on "weak" but it's totally fine to keep it on default if you like. You're always welcome and thank you too for your feedback 🤟🏻🤟🏻
I dont get it man, im good at video games, im good at drifting in real life, im good with controller, but on my tgt II the car just keeps spinning out instantly.
Great tutorial!! The only thing I mist and nowone ask in the comments, y how ti setup the gears. Better in automatic or manual holding first or second gear? I can manage in real life but not in GT7 cos I can't feel well enough when I brake grip with the throttle. Any suggestions will be grateful 🙏
Thanks a lot man! The car in this tutorial is fully in default setup, and there was no tuning of the gear ratios. It's much better to do it in manual for sure. One of the key controls during more advanced drifting is to know when to shift your gears mid-drift, which is something that I will surely cover in the coming parts of the tutorial. In this particular exercise, I was always in 2nd gear. A good suggestion to better feel when you break traction and the rear end starts to step out, is to use the right force feedback settings for it. You can watch this video where I explain in details how to do it and why: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oEe5ZchqbMg.html
True that's because the game limits the animation of rotation of the cockpit view wheel to where it stops. The front wheels still rotate but the virtual steering wheel doesn't. It's been like that in Gran Turismo for ages, and all players know it. I wish they fix it or let us at least remove the virtual steering wheel in that view.
Finally someone explain how 2 drift n GT7. I love u man😘 by the way I noticed that u r using a handbrake so pls what is the brand and do u think it will work with Fanatic wheel base with thx
Haha thanks man! I made my own handbrake. It's simply a spring-loaded arm which pushes on the L2 trigger of the playstation controller. I was able to benefit from this because when you set either the L2 or R2 trigger of the Playstation controller as handbrake in GT7, you get a fully functional progressive handbrake and not just an ON/OFF switch. This should work with any wheel since it's functioning independently. Hope this helps, much love 🤟🏻
Thank you, can’t tell you how helpful this video was. Can maintain the drift just keep over rotating on transitions hoping you’ll address it in the series but all aside keep up the hard work mate 👍
You're welcome man, and that's awesome thanks a lot for sharing! I will surely address every single detail related to drifting in this series 🤟🏻 Which wheel are you using btw?
I’m currently using a t300 gt edition, looking into upgrading to a direct drive wheel soon. Aswell well as upgrading my whole sim 😂 have you had a chance to get your hands on the ps vr 2 and have a go at drifting in vr?
Did you try my settings? - Controller steering sensitivity: 5 - force feedback sensitivity: 10 I set max torque at 10 or the G29 and 6 for the TGT2 so you should set yours somewhere in between. You can watch this video for more details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oEe5ZchqbMg.html I think with enough max torque the T300 should be able to rotate fast enough on its own during transitions. Practice letting go of it at the right time at the beginning of the transition an let it do the rotation on its own and see how it goes. I'll be explaining this in more details in the videos. Meanwhile, try watching real drifting videos and see how it gets done. A direct drive will surely help a lot especially with transitions. I wanted a Fanatec DD Pro but couldn't get one so I settled fir the TGT2 for now. Didn't try any VR yet but surely planning on getting a PSVR2. It should feel very realistic from what I'm seeing. If only they fix the virtual steering wheel rotation in the game in cockpit view, it would be perfect!
i was trying to drift yesterday thinking it will be a little easier with the vr2 but i was just spinning around 😣, i'll follow your instructions tonight and see how it goes, by the way where in lebanon are you located? i'm in lebanon too
I hope this helps man! It takes some time at first and might get frustrating. You just need to stay patient and keep practicing. I've learned how to drift in real life from GT5 and GT6. Took some time at first but was totally worth it. I live in Bshamoun, nice to meet you! 🤟🏻
@@SimActionClips yea bro i'm on it, yesterday i tried to drift around that circular line at willow springs, i didn't get a full clean turn yet but i'm one step ahead, i guess 😅 i live in jal el dib, might come to see you drift in real life one day ✌thank you for all the hard work you put into this videos, hope one day your efforts don't go in vain and i be able to drift 😄
hang in there bro, just keep practicing everyday and you'll get there. It's more of a habit building process through practice more than anything else. I used to participate in the Lebanese Drifting Championship organized by the ATCL along with my brother. But I stopped in 2015 because of the lack of funding. We were known as " The Abdel Hadi Brothers". Now we rarely do it just for fun.
LISTEN TO ME TURN YOU WHEEL GRIP SETTINGS TO ZERO IN THE CONTROLL MENU. it’s the blue and white one that you can choose 1-5 in the in game car menu. You can’t drift without this. It took me a while to figure it out
You mean the traction control? That's for sure man and that's how it works in real life. I mentioned that at the end of the video. Traction control works to stop your wheels from spinning.
lets see how this one goes, last "tutorial" i watched was like "i dont know, you have to "feel it" ", and i was like .... The drift challenges are my bane, i can get gold on most of the rest with some troubles, but even the game doesnt teach you how to drift. I know the basics but the car feels like it needs to be in a very delicate balance to be able to drift, and lets not talk about maintaining one.
You gotta keep persistently practicing man, because practice is key. I actually used to tell my friends the same when they asked for advice "I can't really tell you much, you just have to practice and feel it". It's how most if not all drifters learned their way into drifting, and it's always easier done than explained for an experienced drifter. It's because of that, which lead to the lack of info and proper tutorials all over the internet, that I've decided to put my engineering mind into creating this tutorial. My goal is to make it as clear and informative as possible. And trust me, it's not an easy task, and requires lots of work to produce such videos. Anyway this is only Part1 of a much longer tutorial series, where I'm aiming to explain every single detail about the subject. It's gonna also be organized from the most basic to the most advanced techniques and tricks. I hope it will help you guys 🤟🏻
You have to be careful with the max torque setting, with a weak wheel like a g29 you shouldnt use more than 4, else the ffb waveform will be clipped. Besides that i enjoyed the video a lot, i think my problem mostly was going too hard on the throttle or release it too hard too, and for too much time, so i spin out. Glad to hear you are the same guy from that other video (steer contorller sensitivity), people asume all the "controller" settings are for dualsense, but GT calls even your wheel a controller, so all settings in game are for the wheel aswell (different for options settings menu). So as a fellow engieneer i aprove.
Clipping the higher forces is better than losing the lower forces on a week wheel such as the G29. With the TGT2 I set the torque to 6. I'm glad you watched my other video, I also made a mistake in the graphical representation of of the forces there, so you can watch it properly corrected here: ru-vid.com-mi2V__LLfM?feature=share Thanks a lot for your feedback man, and yes smoothness in the input changes is key. Actually the smoother you can be, the more you'll be able to pull out some much more brutal drifts. Regarding the controller steering sensitivity, and considering all the wrong interpretations of it all over the internet, with people even stating that PD themselves say it's just for the "controller", I have a feeling that this effect could be a bug that wasn't even intended from their side. It's there since GT sport though if not even before. I was totally aware of a much more obvious coding error where they had the engine sounds swapped between the E46 M3 and the E92 M3 in GT6. It was so obvious yet I didn't see anyone noticing it nor did it ever get fixed lol.
@@SimActionClips Its definitely not the lower end of the force that comes through your steering wheel when your tyres starting to loose traction. Its the higher end of the force that will allow you to better control of the car, so you will loose every important details in your ffb when it clipped. Unless you think feeling “small bumps” on the road are far more important than feeling your “tyres at the limit of its grip” while cornering…
@Ton AMG that's not true. You actually use the whole range of forces regardless of which is bumps and which is not. To feel that your tires are just starting to lose grip, and more importantly to feel that the back is just starting to step out when doing some neutral steering (if you know what that is) you need to feel the lowest forces available at the moment they start pulling the steering wheel to one side. Because at the beginning of it the steering wheel would feel the lightest possible. The forces are exactly similar to when you're going in a straight line and you start introducing some very minimal rotation to the steering wheel. And the more lower forces you have available there the faster you will be in catching any change. And you got it all the opposite way. The more clipping you have on the higher forces the less you feel the bumps which exactly are not as important as feeling the change in direction and weight shifting of the car. And what I've described above is a very tiny but important example of where you need these lower forces when racing. They get even much more important when drifting if you wanna do it properly and similarly to the real thing.
@@SimActionClips Your steering is heaviest when you are turning into high speed corner with your front tires are at it maximum of its grip… You don’t feel the back stepping out with the steering wheel… you know, your steering wheel is connected to the *front wheels* of the car… not the back wheels🤦🏻♂️ In real car, you feel the back stepping out with your ass on the seat and not your hands on the steering wheel🤦🏻♂️ In sim, that’s what motion rig and haptic feedback are for… not your wheels. Also, when you clipped you lose every details in the ffb… but there are ways to tune the lower forces up *WITHOUT* clipping… That’s what the other setting call *sensitivity* is for… this will bump up the lower forces without increasing the overall torque value. (Although you lose dynamic range but still better than clipping) The torque setting you basically raise everything to higher values which can cause clipping.
Your description gets me really questioning how do you even drive. The ffb is at maximum after you have already turned into a high speed corner, not at the moment you start turning. It hits maximum right at the edge of the grip with maximum possible steering while still maintaining the grip. The force then can decrease if you start understeering. At the moment you start turning you can feel it ramping up till you reach the maximum that I've just described. You talk to me in a condescending way thinking maybe I'm just a boy playing a game or something and pretending you know it all. And what's with these facepalm emojies, they don't make you right you know. It's true in real life we feel the back stepping out with our ass and we heavily rely on the G-Forces. In sim racing when you don't have a motion rig you can actually feel the back starting to step out with the wheel, if you actually know what you're doing, which clearly you don't. I've described the mechanics of it in my video if you even watched it all. I don't like to just throw comments the way did on a previous one when you said "my car in real life is an AMG" lol. But for your info I used to actually compete in real drifting locally. I have a purpose built drift machine, that 2JZ powered E36 you see at the beginning of my drifting tutorial. I'm a finalist in GT Academy International 2014. I know precisely what I'm talking about when I give the info that I've already explained to you. I don't like to talk that way, your way. I'm not gonna even reply to your comments anymore, since you're not wort it with the way you talk. I'm just now explaining more details for anyone reading your comment so that they don't get deceived with wrong info and that's it. When the forces get clipped you don't lose all the info, you just lose some of the differences between some of the higher forces which are important to keep if you have a capable wheel. The lower forces are much more important though. And I've already explained some of the why, but there is much more to it. I've already recommended the highest ffb sensitivity of 10 and that alone is still not enough for weak wheels such as the G29. And again add to that, it's not capable of spinning fast enough on its own when you need it to during a drift. That's what we actually rely on in real life drifting, we just hold it and let go of it to spin on its own most of the time while doing most of the work through the pedals. I doubt you even know how that works given your statements. Anyway for anyone reading, who wants me to clarify more details about any of this, feel free to ask. As for you I'm done replying to your rude attitude... peace.
