How To Drift In Assetto Corsa - Simple & Effective Tutorial for Beginners! (PART 1)

[@ogfent]

Part 2 here!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH-wY4KpgrWkgpI

[@Mort849]

Thanks

[@Cyge240sx]

What he saying about not stomping the pedal when you initiate a drift is absolutely true not only here in a set of Corsa, but in real life as well. Your engine doesn’t make the most amount of torque at red line. It makes it somewhere before usually where the horsepower and torque on the power band graph. What you’re trying to do when maintaining a drift is keep your car somewhere just before or within that power band so that you’re making the most amount of torque while keeping Control. This will also help with weight transfer and what not.

[@stickybuds05]

Nicely done tutorial, nice and simple for beginners. Love your delivery, editing and explanations. Would love to see some more progressive-advanced drifting tutorials, youtube still lacking in them. Things like how to deal with understeer when drifting downhill touges, how to pick good lines, or how to handle higher hp/twitchy cars (or even comp cars, though I think that's more advanced than intermediate)

[@ogfent]

Thank you man, appreciate the feedback on that! I will bare that all in mind for a future video, they are all great ideas. I think I might need a bit more experience in the cars / tracks first but 100% will get this done 🙏

[@thesprawl2361]

I've been thinking about doing a more advanced tutorial myself. Not because I'm amazing, but just because there is _nothing_ out there that deals with more advanced stuff. I've searched and found nothing. Things like left-foot braking; how to drift long, shallow corners; drifting lines; left foot brake reverse entries in tight touges; quickly adjusting angle mid-drift with the handbrake, etc. And yes, understeer when going downhill/oversteer when going uphill - or just the way that elevation changes in general can massively increase the difficulty of a course/touge and your line through it. I'm no good at video editing so I doubt I'll get around to it, but I feel like it's a gap in the YT video market.

[@stickybuds05]

@@thesprawl2361 exactly those things, yes! It's like basic tutorials can get you pretty far, at least to satisfying runs, but comes to a certain point you're on your own. I'd be first in line to watch if you upload tho, even if it's just a run with some narration/subtitles

[@thesprawl2361]

@@stickybuds05 Cool to hear. I'd be up for uploading myself drifting certain areas that personally give me trouble in certain(usually very high power, very grippy) cars, like the first corner on Akina Lake, and then talking about possible solutions. But IDK how many people are even interested. I go online and the only thing people seem to have bothered learning is shaky 360 entries to corners. They can't hold a long, shallow drift, they can't left foot brake and control angle...but they can do 360 entries. I get the feeling that people are interested in the bare bones stuff...and the stuff that looks flashy. The rest, the subtle, advanced stuff is interesting only to a small number of us.

This helped a lot. I’m finally drifting in assetto Corsa. You got yourself a new sub! 😊

[@ogfent]

Ayeeee glad to hear this helped you man! Appreciate you

[@throttle_mx4061]

the best tip no one ever talks about is lowering your steering angle, sounds counter productive i know, but if you have a wheel with a slower rotation speed and you struggle with countersteering fast enough then lowering the steering angle will make it so the car needs much less input to steer, i keep mine at 360 for drifting and rally respectively

[@ogfent]

that’s not a bad shout mate, I think a lot of people do struggle with counter steering fast! I started on 900 degrees so didn’t really think of that! Cheers bro

[@complexunity4533]

Thing I struggle with from watching vids is when to catch the wheel, it always seems if I catch the wheel when the front of the car is facing where I want it to go, it just self rights. If I add revs, it either speeds this rices up or spins out

[@anonymouse02829]

1:00 - What if the ca you're using is N/A? Like, you know, an 86 or something?

yeah but no... my asseto cars dont recover at all... dont know what else i can do about it.. dont know where else to look for settings but they all just go straight into oversteer... no chance to pull it out of it, no power , 2 sec throttle buildup, with wheels fully turned to the opposite side while starting to spin at 20km/h , still spins 2-3 times before starting to pull to the other side...

[@Sparxyx]

Thank you for a great tutorial brother! New to Assetto and using a wheel on pc in general. Should i tweak any car settings when i want to drift? Im thinking ABS, brake bios and and all that, or do you just run default with the car mods you mentioned? (i have no idea if they use this in real races and drift competitions)

i have trouble with catching the drift, whenever i try to counter steer i just end up spinning out, any tips?

[@Spiffo0]

I keep trying to do this but I can't even catch the slide even in 1st or 2nd gear. Either the keeps sliding or I catch the wheel and the front starts moving and spins out the opposite way instead. What am I doing wrong? I'm using a g29 which isn't the best wheel for drifting I know, but I have seen people doing it. Am I catching the wheel too late? or is it throttle control?

[@ogfent]

Hey man! I think having a DD would have something to do with it tbh (jealous!) As I use a belt fed it te not as strong. I would say turn FFB down in game in incriments of 5 and see if you can find a sweet spot! Let me know if that helps!

Im on my second day of drifting (like 5 hours in total).. i can initiate, catch.. but i have a lot of problems to understand how much gas give.. cause everytime i end in two ways: a little of gas, the car gets traction goes to the other way and spin. Or i give too much gas and i spin. Also sometimes i just randomly drift for a lot but i don't understand how (just a long drift not transitions) and in the moment i realize im drifting i somehow go down or up with RPMs and spin 😂

Does anyone know what the good time to catch the wheel is, I find myself odftern catching it either way 2 early or 2 late, its the catching point I cant seem to get

[@egg6390]

im a beginner so bare with but the issue i have is when i try to straighten out after drifting i just spin out? Any tips?

[@RoadUser_Motovlog]

Thanks for the tutorial! I've been watching many guides to get into drifting, but i always find myself struggling with the same issue: whenever i try to drift feels like my car is desperately trying to go straight, if i manage to drift in a circle as soon as i try to transition to the opposite direction and lift the throttle just a little bit the car LAUNCHES to the other side, the steering goes at full speed to the opposite side and i spin out even at very low FFB%. It's like there's some sort of assist turned on that prevents the car to slide freely despite having traction and stability control off..

[@ogfent]

hey man, you're welcome! I would first of all check in your pre race screen assists. If you click on the three small dots next to your assist selection you can change it all in there. I have everything switched off in this screen and make sure you save the profile else it will keep defaulting. feel free to DM me on discord if you are having trouble, more than happy to show you mate. Is it happening in all cars?

[@ogfent]

also, you might want to look at FFB settings guides for your specific wheel!

[@RoadUser_Motovlog]

@@ogfent Yeah i've tried pretty much all the cars in the same drift car pack, same result..You mean the dots in the Content manager "drive" panel, under the car's thumbnail? If so i'm pretty sure it's all disabled (maybe the only thing turned on is Autoclutch since i only have 2 pedals). Looks like tonight's gonna be a drift-troubleshoot night 😄

[@ogfent]

yeah man, the one next to "tyre blankets" make sure its saved! Weird, I think maybe you should try specific wheel settings tutorial and then try a different car pack maybe the WDTS...if you're trying a pack tuned for grip specific that could be the issue. Good luck man, I really hope you manage to figure it out ASAP!

let the wheel slide and try different throttle techniques. I am also newbie and had issues but figured it out eventually. Try getting on open maps and just holding drifts without actually trying to get corners.

@@Stolen_S2000 hmm yeah I’m not sure bro, try to give it a bit of a spin with your hands whilst countering maybe

[@excite.winters]

Make sure ffb isn't too low, some people naturally turn everything way too low and make it feel really loose and light and then some wheel's don't spin fast enough. The wheel should feel a bit heavy so you're not overcorrecting super easily with a loose wheel, but not like you're driving a car with no power steering.
