Forza 4 Drift Help
 

Anybody have any tips for drifting in forza 4? I wanted to start drifting in the game because it seems like fun.

may switch to a controller soon


mods feel free to move if this is incorrect forum :)

I have the same problem. Real world tuning doesn't translate. Just don't do any of that awd drifting.

About 90% of it does. A few things, tuning wise, are kinda stupid, but its still pretty easy to adjust. My gt is TLDrft86. If you play online and you wanna learn, just hit me up.

sadly I dont have live.

My problem is on forza 3 I could drift all day long no probl, then when I got 4, it's not the same, the ass end likes to over correct after you start coming out of a drift automatically sending you into another drift in the opposite direction, I tried correcting it with my suspension and roll bars but it def doesn't do any good, at least where I've tried tuning it.

Hey, ima end up starting it probably soon (the Forza Lap Time thread)

Either Dragon and Ichi gonna troll us lol or not many people gonna join us. But, I'll give it a try

Already been started....search!

Turning off simulated steering makes it 18x easier to connect without over steering into a wall.

Really? Is that one of the difficulty settings before each race? Like disabling traction control?
Or somewhere else?

Make sure you have most of the assists turned off. I didn't have any problem transitioning from Forza 3 to Forza 4 drifting, I think it's mainly due to people leaving on simulations assists.

You can change all the settings in the main difficulty menu and they'll stay with you for every race.

I never used any assists on 3, everything was always off. Same on 4, but it just seems like the car always over corrects when you come out of a big drift. I think what midship was stating before soy da good, but if he's talking about an aid like that the. It's already been off and I need to figure out a tuning solution

Wow the iPhone is kicking my thumbs ass today

lolwut

Their is no Forza 4 Lap Time thread

I'd participate in a lap time thread.

I could have swore they started one already, maybe it's a gt5 lap time thread.... Ok the me should search...

Yeah! Search...I found one.... Hehe

I turn off all the assists and use manual w/ clutch. I found out that it makes it 10 times easier to control a drift if you can control the clutch.

It is because of simulation steering. Forza 3 had steering assist even if you shut off all assists, so could be drift god without really trying, you just had to point the stick where you wanted to go and the game did the rest. In Forza 4 they added the ability to turn off steering assist so now you have to actually catch the car yourself and know how to do it without causing snap oversteer. Just practice a lot and you'll get it. It would probably also help to download some drift tuning setups instead of trying to tune it yourself right off the bat.

Makes sence

I'm talking about the aid. I turn steering to normal and there is a night and day difference to me. Manual with clutch is also a must. In forza 3 you could get away with no clutch if you had a bazillion horse power.

Thank You :thumbup: and im sure we'll slowly get more people to join :thumbsup: :thanks:

Long time Forza Fan here. I've got every copy of the game ever made including Forza 4.

The answer you guys gave about the simulation steering is correct. Thats exactly why there's so much snap oversteer when correcting a slide. Turning off the simulation steering is sort of cheating in my opinion but the OP will get the desired effect he's looking for.


If you guys want to do a hotlap battle, I dare one of you to try and beat my B Class time around Nurburgring GP Full without using a Muscle Car or Leaderboard car.

My best is a 2:14.1~ something in a Merc 190E. If anyone can crack 2:13, you've beat me.

I'm so down for a hotlap battle. Hell, if you guys want you can come join my group of friends and I. We race 25+ lap endurance races (with a few rules which we've worked on over the years) and always welcome new people. Try not to feel overwhelmed though, we are pretty damn fast without using leaderboard cars.

Hey with Forza fans here

I have a thread called Forza Lap Times Competition

LET'S COMPETE!

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3735

Grip Racing, and I could split it up, shall I say DRIFT COMPETITION TOO (soon)?

Sounds good to me

Really. All my friends that are really good at drifting have these crazy set-up that wouldn't work on a real car and they beast it. I tried to emulate my personal s14 and I'm terrible. I guess this another one of those games I can do better in real life, like most FPS's.

Cool. My GT is the same as on here.

Try to be easy on the throttle, small corrections. I'd have to know more about your setup/car to make any other suggestions. When people are learning to drift they have a tendency to stay on the throttle at the same amount throughout the curve regardless of angle/speed. It's very much like a real drift car, if you have a lot of power you can't always have a heavy foot, you have to be very delicate with it.

Thanks

Aside from turning simulation steering off, definitely use the controller over the wireless wheel, it's probably much more accurate. You can also play with the settings to help with the balance; I like to stiffen the front sway bars to max and leave the rear at about 85%-95% so I can maintain the angle I enter at without, erm, over-oversteer.

anyone wanting to mess around my GT is "user errors" - I'll be on this weekend. I prefer to run tandem and do exciting entries over running stupid lines and competing for points.
