Go around the track slowly and carefully for a few laps to get the feel of it. Make sure you can hit the Apex's. Keep the same line each lap. Slowly go faster each lap until you've pushed yourself and your car as much as you can. LFS takes tons of practice.

.. I also wished I followed my own advice . Hope this helps.

I've gotten this error for a while and I have posted in a topic about the same issue, I have dealt with it since my last windows reinstall, and ya, it does really suck. I have heard of people having issues with windows xp sp2, maybe try re-installing that, or reinstall windows.. Long way around but I've heard it works.

When you are in game I think you can press shift+w when racing to try and restart the sound drivers.. what sound card do you have?

I've also tried a different sound card in my computer and the same problem happens. I blame windows.

hey shim, thanks for the set.. I love it already.. seemed a lot more like it fit my driving style

i've only done one lap trying it on blackwood, here it is :O .. the car felt a lot more controllable

I have a Microsoft SideWinder Racing Precision Pro as I mentioned earlier.. I also think I will upload a video of my drifting that I took on blackwood going reversed, nothing special of course.. and yes i do know that counter steering is VERY difficult to get use to with drifting, I seem to always over counter steer unless I really think about NOT doing it..

I wasn't really a fan of that Fern Bay track when I did multiplayer and Vendetta was there :\\

Edit - Bit of an edit here, just uploading my latest [drifting] driving clip

I wouldn't mind actually going and doing some multiplayer with anyone that is willing to help.. last night I tried drifting with the xr gt turbo for a bit, and this morning i switched between the xr gt and the xr gt turbo and kinda stuck with the xr gt after finding some decent setups. I'm still counter steering way tooooo much but am trying to stop that. Some corners I still have no clue when I should initiate the drift or the best way to initiate the drift, I've gone between just turning into the corner and feathering on the gas or using the clutch lightly or tapping the hand brake once or twice before going into a corner .. I downloaded a few setups from lfs torque and i got the xr gt turbo soft setup and it's not that bad, I just have been trying to tweak it a bit more to my liking, but as I said it's not that bad, and I think I may stick with it for learning

I usually try using second gear and i start at about 50-60mph through a corner and then i feather it through a corner.. Usually I overcorrect after the corner to get the car back on track but before that sometimes i tap the hand brake and give it some more gas to get through the corner and get the car going around back but it either goes too much or it just doesnt go at all which results in me trying to press down a bit more on the gas and turning the wheel a bit more into the corner

Quote from Lautsprecher[NOR] :

It's a FWD, they're not supposed to drift :P

:| I did not know that, and I love that car .. oh well.

Thanks for that setup, I am getting the drift bible which someone elsewhere recommended. I have tried joining a couple drift servers which didn't turn out too well because the people were somewhat nubs.. I have an MS Sidewinder Racing Precision Pro but I'll try that setup anyways.. Thanks for all this awesome response, wasn't sure what to expect here

as to what clownpaint said I agree with what he said about broadening skills, I'm not a very great driver in lfs to start but I still love the game, and having drifting as one of those things I can do would be nice to have.

I am having a seriously REALLY bad time with drifting, no matter how hard I try I just cannot get it, I spent a few hours just last night trying to drift.. I am able to some what drift in the FXO and am quite comfortable with it but the setup just seemed to pull the car out front end first really easily, I don't know if that's just a normal characteristic of the car or if it's my setup and/or driving.

Just curious then if anyone had a drift setup for an FXO primarily for a racing wheel.. After trying numerous times with the XR GT's (both ones) I just absolutely cannot drift with either of them.. I would really like to learn how to drift and do it well and I wouldn't be making this post otherwise, or spending as much time as I have on it as well.

Thanks >.>
