... i don't understand the merits of that, though i do understand its applications. couldn't you remap the H-box into a sequential using the middle two slots, since its a FFB joystic?
one more thing, since you put on an actual steering wheel, won't it cause extra stress on the systems inside the DFP, as it's designed for a plastic wheel? thanks

yeah its mainly to teach how to drift, but experineced drifters that forgot the craft (like yourself) can take part as well. what damage could it do, but enhance your skills, especially when taught by the best?
god damn.
one question: why do you have two shifters? unless one is a 'handbrake'?
and i like how you just had a random calculator in the first set of pics

lesson 3 has just been added to the syllabus. check it out here: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=78250#post78250
hmm, that's kinda like what valve is doing with halflife...
again, check out the new board for updates, as sam and i have done a lot of work on it.

also, i need all rtdc members' emails so i can add you to a newsgroup and keep in touch. pm me, im me, w/e you do, get your email to me ASAP.

the first drift education session (DES) will likely be some time next weekend.

the thing is, drifting is mainly about reaction and instinct. you can teach techinique, how to slide a car, how to control it, but when you're asking how to take a corner, everyone takes it differently. many people like to take the inside, feint to out then intiate a drift. many others choku-dori (basically a feint, except drifting). I kansei (basically lift off throttle while turning in at high speed, then jumping back on throttle). it's all up to your personal tastes.
list will be updated.

please, let the dead stay dead.... eerie zombie threads scare me :| (anyone watch diggnation?)
visual tuning! half in jest though.
just wheels. because the same car with the same rim gets boring...
but everything everyone else said here is same for me.
one thing i would LOVE to see is the unforseeable damages. in a race, if you abuse your gearbox, it'll fail. hell, sometimes it just fails because it does. i'd love to see that happen in this game. over rev a little too much, you get a piston through the head. i'd love to see fuel air mixture adjustment, clutch feather, clutch wear, all that good stuff...

confirmed: i am older than 2k4. i just watched a movie of LFS, talking about how a team formed in 2k3, and i was playing long before that team formed. mid-early 2k3 it is.
well it's mainly to introduce racers to the world of drift.

i played demo for quite a while before i got my licenses.
i usually keep my revs high up near the redline, and once i pull out of the drift (if i decide not to link it) then i shift up to 4th for a quick stint. this also sets me up for using the shift lock technique, which allows me to downshift back to third, initiate a drift, and keep my revs up all in one go.
- assuming going blackwood forwards, i usually decelerate quite a bit if i'm trying to drift nice, ususally take it in 3rd gear.
- not necesarily. if you decrease throttle abruptly, then the weight will shift from the rear to the front, thus unloading the rear wheels. this can do one of two things: make you spin, or help you regain traction. but usually you really only regain traction if you are going slower. no this normally won't decrease your angle alone, but throughout a drift it can. kinda hard for me to explain :|

ruckus.... *smacks head*
shotglass, go drive a car around a track :P basically just use the force and predict where the curb is, as long as it's a little left of you then it's all good. and you'll be able to feel the rumblstrip through FFB i assume (i use a mouse)

i'll bite.
- you can try to direct your way out of a drift by easing up on the throttle, which sometimes will allow your tires to regain grip. also, depending on your stage in the drift, steering into the slide then centering *can* pull you out of the drift.
- this really depends. back in S1, i would never drift in any gear except for 3rd, because its powerband was smack in the middle of what i was comfortable in. but with my current gearing in my FZ5, i drift more in 2nd. it's all in personal comfort levels. when i drift, i maintain high revs all through the gear i initiated in, i don't shift in a drift.
- you can correct the direction of the drift by using a combination of throttle and steering. releasing throttle abruptly during a drift *can* cause you to spin, because of the sudden weight shift off the rear wheels and to the front. i correct my angle mainly using steering though, because i use a mouse and throttle control is more or less non-existant. i can use the abrupt throttle cut to my advantage though. learning to clutch-kick is very advantageous in this scenario.
- basically it's a setup issue. depending on the car, it can be easier or harder. for example, the FZ5 (which you can't drive) is much harder to flick into a 90* drift because of its rear-engined arrangement. in the XRT, basically it takes quick reactions with the steering wheel and some throttle control, and full lock usually.
- can't answer this one, everyone has their own taste.
hope this helps
