G29 or Logitech? Your choice

[@dreiback182]

One of my two biggest advices Goose has covered, which was patience. The one, which is very very important espacially when your learning is to try and not use the handbrake. You should have a handbrake but try to not use it! Do clutchkicks, flicks and so on but try to stay away from the handbrake and only use it when chasing somebody or to get out of a bad situation. You can also use it if you want to do a very long entry, but try to not over use it. And the same is for left foot braking. Dont overuse it, but you can use it more than the hamdbrake.

[@tonygamer83nomaxnocap70]

I have a g29 with shifter and pedals. I was just drifting around and it all of a sudden just clicked for me. I'm able to connect a few corners together without hitting the wall. A big tip I would would give new Sim drifters leaning is throttle control. It's a lot harder with out it

[@Goosiest]

Very nice!

[@hdyt_tv]

@@Goosiest yes

[@rikokenz]

Fellow G29 enjoyer here, is it just me that can drift easier with car pack like WDTS, ADC than using the base drift car on AC or everyone with G29 experienced this thing too?

[@tonygamer83nomaxnocap70]

@@rikokenz I don't have ac yet been thinking about getting it. I usually drift around in fh5 and beamng

[@rikokenz]

@@tonygamer83nomaxnocap70 ah i see. I'm struggling on early days using the base car from AC because the force feedback not spinning fast enough to countersteer the drift. I thought that because of the gear drive that G29 used. But after I downloaded the ADC car pack I can drift easily. Idk why. Maybe because of the tuning of the car Anyway, let me know when you decided to try AC maybe we can do some tandem. Cheers 🥂

[@vicecarbon7562]

Thank you Goose. This video helps me so much, you wouldn't believe it. I started about 4 months ago with a second hand G29. I hadn't gone too far until I saw this video. Now that I have a clearer idea, I'm going to follow all those steps and become a better sim drifter. Wish me luck and I might send some clips in the future! Good luck to you newbies too... Go for it and drift!

[@Goosiest]

Right on!

[@ItzLegendsOfficial]

[@Egi_4658]

1:50 G29 was selled at 400$ for just a year, from 2016 there's so many way to get it around 200$ or even 180$. So there's a very big price difference between t300rs and G29.

[@adaddylicious1748]

I got a new g29 for €165 off of a Facebook electronics market page, the cheapest t300 I found was €280 used.

[@deresolute1061]

Yup and most t300rs on my local marketplaces are selling for $200+ with the shitty base two pedal setup and no shifter lol. G920s are a dime a dozen for around $150 with 3 pedals and shifter. Definitely a great starter option.

[@Egi_4658]

@@deresolute1061 true! That's the reason why I bought the g29, I had just 200€ and I went for it because there's a great base with 3 pedals and H shifter with 35€. Thrustmaster t300 have a great motor but nothing else, so you must buy the 3 pedals and H shifter (is better but you need 170€ to purchase it). So total of g29 with 3 pedals and H shifter? 235€ Total for t300 with 3 pedals and H shifter? Around 470€

[@stancedtelevision301]

@@adaddylicious1748 I picked up an older t300 for £100 and a 458 tx for 50, so it is possible to get a t300 for cheap but it's just a matter of waiting

Have been drifting on my t300 for 5 days now, as you said, suddenly I got good. Man it feels great! After 2 days I started letting wheel slide. After that it got a lot better. My last video is a clip of today

[@Goosiest]

Great to hear!

[@tjm_tk]

tip #2 is very true, i drifted on controller for a while and got good enough to link tracks and do 360 entries and stuff like that on carx and forza but when i first got my wheel setup on assetto corsa it was a lot more challenging but also more fun. even when you have a little bit of experience it can still take a while to learn new tracks, ones like narrow touge's especially take a lot of practice for me. also i agree with other people who say you should focus on learning without the handbrake first. I didn't have one my first few weeks and i learned to link my first few tracks without it, it helps you learn to use the throttle and clutch and then mix the handbrake in when it actually helps. one other thing i think if you get a g29 it's good, but in my experience sometimes the force feedback isn't quite as strong as you would like so just letting go of the steering wheel and then catching it doesn't give you enough counter steer. it helps if you kind of throw it yourself and then let go so it's rotates faster.

[@panostheo8411]

glad goosiest has progressed that much, remember watching him when he had 1k subs

[@realcnstudios]

I'm totally new to sim racing but are used to real driving for a couple of years now. It's a passion. Stronger than any other in my life. I bought AC and used an old Logitech wheel with maybe 20 bucks. Only two paddles and no force feedback of course. For racing only it was enough but when I tried drifting I was frustrated pretty quick. There was just no way to control the car so I snapped, took my last money and bought a T300RS GT. I watched some videos for Tipps and tried several hours. On the second day I was already able to manage some stable and decent drifts on the Japanese drift map. Since I have no handbrake I only initiate the drift with the clutch but for now it's okay. I even went online and drifted with some other dudes and managed to keep up most of the times. I am really proud of myself :)

[@oloid51]

as someone who just now has like 70 ingame hours on assetto corsa all drifting, I don't believe you should get a hand brake off the bat. Learning throttle control, clutch kick and different feints is much better to develop. Although I'm not quite there yet lol. And definitely don't cheap out on the wheel etc I was thinking about it and decided to buy a logitech wheel instead of some other cheap thing I saw on amazon and am so glad I did.

[@mrmalavey1098]

As someone with 7+ years drifting assetto I'd disagree, having one isn't the problem, using it to much is ✌️

[@FemtoTheWolf]

@@mrmalavey1098 Yes but he's saying that withoit a handbrake, you can't use it as a crutch so your only option is to use foot brake. If you have the handbrake you might develop bad habits with it.

[@NeilGR]

i've had my wheel since december 3rd ish, and I've been drifting since. I've improved A LOT and im drifting through various tracks on assetto corsa with ease. however, it's hard to perfect tandems and touges because clutch kicking isn't always reliable when I need to adjust. I've been thinking about a handbrake lately, should I pull the trigger?

[@connor883]

Logitech is cheap

[@WizyEilish]

The truth is that the tip that served me the most was #6, the truth is when I watched this video when it just came out I wasn't subscribed, now 2 months later I saw the video again and this time I subscribed and I already feel significant progress 😍

[@7noob655]

Been drifting on my g29 for 5 years now. I've made lots of progess, my dad has been teaching me how to do foot work steering and he knows what he teaching me because hes a real drifter and I've never recorded my first day. You guys dont have to record u can just keep learning it's up to u u dont have to record and if u drift in real life and u drift on sim the sim might help u a little with ur real life drifting. I love sim drift❤

[@DHPdrives]

What's funny is I've been racing professionally and in amateur series' for about 14 years now. I drive on track almost weekly. I'm an FIA Silver driver. I have a full motion ready sim with a Simagic Alpha Mini wheel, Heusinkveld pedals, VLM shifter, and a hydro e-brake using a master cylinder from my R8 GT4 I raced before I retired. I can drift in real life easily. I say all of that because you make me look like an 8 year old that has never seen a steering wheel in their life. I have top of the line equipment and years of real life experience. It just goes to show that practice makes perfect. You don't need to spend a fortune. You just need to do it and be determined. Great tips, I will be applying these! Thank you.

[@mariboustate4707]

A money saving and efficiency tip; Use a flight joystick as a handbrake. I use a Thrustmaster T.16000m I bought for Elite Dangerous, works perfectly

I've been using WDTS car packs since I bought AC last year and at that time I only have budget wheels and didn't get a feeling of FFB. This year, using the same car pack and got a G920 from my friend, I feel that I've progress a little. Every now and then, I always practice and hone my drifting skills even when I'm working full time. I hope for the best of luck for those that started drifting

[@proam_racing5658]

Goosiest, Because of the number 4, i started to learn more, and now i see how i was drifting on day 1. So Thank you

[@hyperlovesyou]

tip 1 slamming the disc break stops car steering (wheels need to turn) tip 2 lows gears increase power (IE drifting occurs when back wheels try to overtake the front ones) high gears increase traction. so shift down to send your car into a spin, shift up to recover or stop the drift tip 3 if you you get your gear and speed right before the turn then just turning early will give a good drift for most corners tip 4, breaking hard (normal break) will throw the weight of your car to the front so be sure to accelerate into a corner to throw your back end out tip 5, drifting is often entirely unnecessary and a great way to get bopped off the track so check your surroundings even those stripy things on the ground will ruin your day if you go over them.

[@everythingsfineproductions]

7:33 can confirm. Bought a used T300 setup and found this channel because I was literally questioning everything I know about driving. I'm about 2 years in and still haven't even used the damn thing. Got addicted to hardware and filmed building an entire custom rig with T300 mods and guides. Now that it's finally finished, I gotta edit years of footage but I can finally start using it now. I blame the goose

[@armourshooter5517]

I would also like to add a tip regarding the mods: Try out different mods, the harder mod to drift the more you learn. For example, after you mastered the WDT pack try out VDC or switch between street cars & comp cars. The different characteristics of each mod will make you realise the imperfections in your technique you otherwise won't realise if you stick with the same mod & will eventually make you a more precise driver.

[@vvjgee4g]

Yes Goose! Please do a video on how to be a sim drift KZbinr!

[@ChodyRay]

Practice throttle control early on, as well as learning when to let the wheel do its thing until it needs corrected throughout the drift, if you have force feedback. And another huge tip is use your ebrake, but don't rely on your e brake

[@kuluolsen3279]

I casually play Forza Horizon 4, I'll be getting FH5 soon and who knows, maybe I'll get into Sim racers as well! One thing is certain though, you convinced me to subscribe with that awesome science pitch!🤣

[@zwenkwiel816]

IMO You should just start at 900 degrees, it feels a lot more complicated at first but I think it's kind of like with the tandobuddies cars. best to just learn it the right way straight away. also while 900 degrees may feel a bit harder it is a lot better as it allows for a lot more smooth/fine inputs. like with 540 degrees it's easier to go from lock to lock but the "balancing point" (for lack of a better word) is also a lot smaller.

Lucky me got his first setup at 9 years... it was an xbox 360 with a cheap logitech wheel with 180° steering angle. It was perfect for Forza... 2 years later, I got the xbox one x with a logitech g920. I have that wheel to this day. I never thought of selling any part of my setup, simply because back then, I wasn't there for drifting sucessfully or winning every race, I just wanted to have fun. And that is what you have to remember, it's only a game, it's supposed to be fun, not frustrating (at least in most cases). If I was 5 years older at that point, I might have never come to the point where I am now, because my mindset was much more focused on the said fun aspect.

[@nowthatscrazy]

I've always been able to drift the occasional turn every now and then. A friend of mine recently pushed me into CarX. Took me like 6 hours to get to a point where i could mostly hold and transition any drift, with the occasional spin. After around 30 hours i'm starting to get to the point where i can comfortably tandem online and not be "that guy". Decided to fire up Assetto Corsa, just to see if it translated at all from CarX. Turns out it does. I hopped in the E30 and did like 5 or 6 laps around the base drift map and found myself reasonably able to hold and transition drifts. I wasn't good by any stretch, but i was able to get around corners and stay on the track. Assetto is definitely different from CarX, but it teaches you the basics and gives you a feel of what to do when the car moves. It didn't teach me to drift, but it taught me how to learn drifting. Don't count out the arcade games. As long as the force feedback is there, you'll learn something.

[@Benanarama.]

I dont see any problem with starting out with Tando buddies if you are completely new as it gives satisfaction of being able to drift even if badly but what it does teach you is the basic muscle memory needed. Like catching the wheel, left foot braking etc. I started with them, didnt use them long then I jumped to ADC & ADC420 cars which have waaaay better physics and nice power. Just had to adjust to the more realistic physics but the muscle memory was pretty much already there. I would love to record some footage but not 100% sure on the best way to go about it as I only use VR for drifting on assetto and im not sure my pc could cope. Great video Goose! Loved it as always! Very informative. I've learnt alot watching you over the years. Keep up the great work! Oh and btw the Logitech G923 is a huge improvement over all earlier versions it has a newer/faster processor and you can really feel it on transitions, barely throwing the wheel anymore like i was with a DFGT lol
