Can someone help me plz, ive had this wheel for near on a week, and i have found it extremly hard to drift now, i have tried turnin the Force Feedback off, tried wit it on. Cant seem to get it rite. I did alrite wit the mouse and now im jus... well.... shit tbh. I need help!!
Lol, i need something, either practice or someone to help me in game, maybe a set up, i dunno.
Basicly i can get drifting but wen it comes to coming out of the drift, i over steer. I think its down to not getting the lock off quick enough.

I am using 720 degrees and thinking about reducing it even more. But also its a big change to anguloge pedals from digital mouse buttons.

Hope someone can help me out here.

Cheers all

I'd start at 540 degrees.

Use Select+R3+Left paddle to select 60% FFB mode on the DFP.

In control panel have everything deselected and at 0% except; Degrees of rotation "540", check enable overal FFB and overal FFB strength at 100%.

Choose your force strength within LFS with the "<" and ">" buttons.

Too much oversteer when exiting is either to little lock or to much throttle.

Now just practice

BigDave, I have the same problems as you when I first started G25 720 deg drifting few days back.

Starting the drift ain't difficult, but coming out from the drift/exiting the corner is the tough part. I assume the DFP wheel may not be able to rotate fast enough, so I'd suggest you to try drifting with lesser angle, just to get a better feel of the car, go slower, start your drift later than usual just so its easier to catch the slide, and end the slide.

After several rounds, you should have a better feel on how the DFP, from there you can start pushing on more and more.

It's frustrating at the start, but its possible with enough patience, a lot of focus, and practise.

From my limited 720 dfp drifting you hav to start winding off the counter steer earlier than normal. A method i found useful was set the wheel to 360 (or something your comfortable drifting with) now try and drift while keep the wheel movement as smooth as possible. If you can do that successfully go to 720 and as long as you can keep really smooth you can drift

Also keep practising

Just to get to grips with drifting with the wheel, try setting the FF to 10%, 270* rotation and compensation to 1.0. Once you get good with that, up the rotation to 360 then 540 then 720.

Cool, seems to help so far, ive dropped the rotation down to 360 degrees, and its helping so far, ill stick to 360 for a while then i will up it to 540 then 720 and see if 900 is worth it. But only once i am decent enough to up to each stage.

Wot do people prefer 900 or 720?

Also wen i try to get the lock off quickly i cant because of the FFB or something, i think that because the wheel is new i dont wanna throw it around. But i guess it has got 2 years warrentee any way lol.

Some people use 720 others 900. 720 is more correct as its what the road cars use but IMO 900 is more correct to real life.

It could be the ffb but it could just be the resistance of the motor. AFAIK the gearing in the dfp (as with most ffb wheels but for the dfp ive seen 25:1 and 40:1 quoted) which when trying to turn quickly causes some resistance. From my experience with my dfp and others is that the wheel is strong and can take alot of throwing around its the pedals that always seem to fail. Saying that though my dfp is just of a year old and no problems.
