[@daronbehney3273]

when i’m drifting with others, i always see them twitching the steering wheel a bunch, what’s that about?

[@Shane-o]

This is because they are playing on controller so with a steering wheel you have very fine adjustments. On a controller you don't so when you move the stick it's all or nothing if you know what I mean :)

Hello I hope u can help me. I have thrustmaster tmx pro. I have no issue using it regular race. My settings is on 900° but when I drift I can never control the wheel as it doesn't go back right away and I'm ending up spinning or my wheel not moving accordingly as the steer has to go all the way. What I did however was decrease my wheel rotation to 180° and some what I can control the car just like when I am using the controller. I don't want to keep doing this as I need to change settings everytime I have to drift and race normally. Is there a reason why my wheel not turning like Urs in the intro even tho I copied Ur settings?

[@Shane-o]

Bro if I'm honest I've only used a wheel once on forza round a friend's house, I can't afford a wheel unfortunately but I hope you get it sorted

how can i download a tune?

[@Pain-eq1di]

I'm trying to build a '98 Supra for drifting. It's RWD and it has 1200 hp. Is this too much if I'm a novice drifter or should i take the power down a little until i become proficient? It's easy to get into the drift but it's a bit hard to hold the line or get a balance of power/weight/balance without spinning out or pulling out of the drift.

[@Shane-o]

Yeah exactly lower the power first then if that doesn't work, add more grip on the rear wheels by adjusting your tune. If that doest work Try the M4 in the video as this is a perfect car see how you go :)

Easy on the throttle too!

Welcome dude

[@vChilly]

I remember I played this game a year ago and just thought it’s all about putting the throttle down and I gave up a year later I finally understood that throttle control is everything I ain’t no crazy drifter now but when I managed to hit one all around the roundabout it got me wanting to play this game a lot more..

[@Shane-o]

That's great to hear man. Forza needs a bigger community :)

[@davemaggiebutters816]

Do you change your controller inputs to accomodate gear changes? If so which custom controller setup do you recommend

[@Shane-o]

Nope just play on standard controller map. Think x is down and B is up if I remember correctly. Hard to remember without actually playing lol

[@xdiver01]

Thanks for the video, with my G29 wheel and clutch it’s far more difficult than with the controller, but your tips were helpful. 👍

[@Shane-o]

Cheers dude I'm glad it helped

[@hongkongstuey]

Good video, I use the button setup X up a gear A down a gear and B for handbrake, works really well having the 2 gear buttons together and handbrake away from them.

That's a good idea I'll give it a go

[@KrownzRecords]

just use the codes and the car and it works ike a charms, my respect

[@SheikyYT]

Question. You said rwd on most all cars, but for ur fd toyota supra mkIV didn't you put awd?

[@Shane-o]

Yeah so RWD is nicer to drift and is so much easier. But AWD you can hold big angles and change directions so much faster so you get more points. RWD= easy/satisfying AWD=big points

[@SheikyYT]

@Shane-O Okay, thank you for the clarification. I just got into drifting in forza 5 lol. Struggle with self tuning tho.

Still slam into everything going around corners and spin out and can't get out of grass. Its so damn finicky

[@cbr9296]

Appreciate the video and the help for us just starting at trying to ’really’ drift. Rather than using the longest ? most difficult? drift track though, can you use the same car for the Horizon Mexico drift track and show us what you can get there with it. Gives me something to aim at that doesn’t take 10 minutes per try lol. (Giro Encorvado track)

[@Shane-o]

yeah I've been meaning to make another Forza video (currently caught up in the new call of duty) ill try and include that track I hadn't thought of it like that, cheers. Also cool bike videos! I'm a bike guy myself got an 08 R1 :)

[@shyrain67]

on a lot of corners i end up going way too wide and drifting off the road. is this because im going too fast? any tips? also the strip that you are using seems to be completely surrounded with shipping containers now

[@Shane-o]

Try using the main break more to slow down a bit. Also try adding more grip to the rear. So wider tyres, less pressure in the tyres. Even try changing the tyre type so try drift or sport tyres or something to add more grip overall

[@shyrain67]

Same bro🤣🤣🤣

[@cbr9296]

What is happening at 22:23. You seem to be in a long controlled slide towards the bend with some direction control, appears to not be ‘driftingz’ but you’re getting drift points still? I would’ve ‘manjid’ 4 times there trying to a) slow up for the bend b) trying to keep a drift going, but each cross over stops my score mid transition ? With your car and tune I’m getting 750-850k up/down hill. I’m just missing that extra fines for the big score.

[@Shane-o]

if you want really big score its easier with all wheel drive and drag tyres. there's lots of videos on my channel check out my supra top 100 video or my meta drift cars video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKmpc56HZducmLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5a1fminmcx-jKc as for what I am doing I'm holding a shallower drift with less angle to increase my forwards speed so i dont have to manji like you say. this with a lot of handbrake makes for a longer drift. hope this helps

[@trixnglz1871]

Wow, this has actually helped out a lot, very detailed guide and I found out knew info that other guides never mention (like the hand brake taking u way from the inside). Thought the edits were funny too 👍

[@Shane-o]

Thank you, comments like that mean a lot to a small creator! :)

[@trixnglz1871]

@@Shane-o I do have some questions, sometimes I can't keep my drift going all the way around the large corners and how do u know what gear you need to be in?

[@Shane-o]

@Trixnglz ooof man that's a really hard question to answer so I apologise if i dont quite answer it clearly in this comment. It really depends what you mean by can't hold the drift? If your car is straightening out as in your full throttle and hitting the rev limiter but your car just goes straight that means you need to change up a gear and floor it! If your car "bogs down" so you're not hitting the limiter and loosing power so it straightens this means 1 of 2 things. You have too much grip. This can be reduced by either upping the tyre pressure or changing to snow or drag tyres so you have less grip overall. Or number 2 is purely you're in a gear that's too high for that corner. I should say that your tune depends massively on what you want to do. If you want to do the cara esta drift zone my tunes are great as they have a good amount of grip. If you want to go into online open drifting then you're better off using a tune that feels like you're "driving on ice" for example drag tires pumped up to the max so it's super slippy and you can hold the handbrake a lot. I should be uploading a video in the next couple days showing some online drifting so be sure to check that out. I hope this helps

[@trixnglz1871]

@Shane-o ok, thanks I will take that into consideration, I'm slowly getting better 😅

[@codlover771]

If you’re struggling back down the horsepower a little bit, not too much where you can’t spend the tires though

[@ChaosGameKiller]

tbh i like drifting in fh4 cause weather actually changes, sure it does in fh5 but lot less, i hate it tbh but i like the physics of fh5 the cars feel like it has a bit more weight and weight transfer than fh4 does. and also imo should do it with harder tunes and cars cause thats what i did and it seemed to make my drifting better then my friend who played longer then me.. i used high HP on my cars when i started, and well in fh4 the hatchiroku seemingly sling shot outta corners and the speed was hard to get control of but i managed, and well i still mess up lines but.... >>>also if you over steer to much turn the other direction of the drift and let off the throttle and the momentum will take you out of it

[@protojager]

I was a little hesitant to keep watching when you had manual without clutch and anti-lock enabled but I can accept people have different needs and preferences. However I definitely recommend putting cosmetic damage on if you drift with other people because with damage off entirely the cars will bounce off of each other and can ruin both of your drifts instead of just tapping lightly.

[@ringfn8355]

Every time i hit the hand break it either throws my back end out or slows down my drift. I don’t get it see how it’s making you go wider

[@Shane-o]

You need to turn the wheels the opposite way at the Same time. Your car has too much grip if it slows you down too much

[@TakeTheL-iam]

I've tried multiple different 'tutorials', yet no matter what I can't seem to keep my turns wide enough. I'm not spinning out, arguably it seems like the opposite, I'm getting too much grip and going in the direction the car is facing, rather than sliding. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? On controller, but it has analog buttons.

[@isaiahbrown5808]

LMAOOO so a tip for you the break is used to pull back the car so it’s just as important as the gas. You don’t have to smash the gas either that’s just revving the limiter and most like why you’re spinning out into trees 😂Forza is unnecessary hard to get used to. I’m great at drifting on other games but Forza is just different I’m still learning myself

@@isaiahbrown5808 Thanks for the tips. I also use a keyboard which apparently makes the art of drifting a bit more difficult to master. I have also switched to manual gearing. I have gotten a little better, though, since posting this comment. But it's still a definite work in progress.
