TL;DW - How to catch a drift or slide. It's all in the realignment.

[@izzieb]

This video is intended to teach GamerMuscle how to drive.

[@jt9565]

You should really promote all your videos via twitter, they are so well explained and very interesting and clarifying, it would be a really good promotion IMO. Really good job Aris.

[@pippo-1073]

Assetto Corsa twitter should really Pin “did you know”

[@mve_simracing]

As well as Reddit, perhaps. Instagram and Facebook are good mentions as well.

[@mihax209]

This video should be titled an Italian thinks of different words to use to describe something fast happening Just joking of course, thanks for all the content Aris! It's really awesome to see a dev going into these mini teaching session while live streaming the same game he was part of the development of.

[@theredbaron7302]

He is not Italian

[@Yanchi_YT]

For me, this was the single most important video at my simracing beginnings when I would lose the end of the car at least once a race. Perfect explanation in this video saved me countless hours of frustration that would be otherwise needed to learn this technique the hard way.

[@3ormorecharactersmaybe5]

This video came out late. Yesterday, I oversteered the car, too much counter steer, and yeeted the car into the grass. Thank you, BTW Aris.

[@wedge_one]

Great timing for the video. I've been driving the Ferrari 488 GT3 a lot, and yesterday during a race I lost the rear to oversteer exiting a turn, just like that and managed to catch in the heat of the moment the slide, where usually I lose the car, and I noticed that indeed the hard thing is not to catch the drift but to realign the car, otherwise you can get your self jumping from one side to the other until you finally lose the rear and the car spins. Also, this was one of the reasons I changed from the McLaren 650S to the Ferrari - I'm not a good driver, but I found the McLaren to be way more sensitive and hard to catch than the Ferrari.

[@colin_g]

Agreed! The initial drift is easy to control, it's when your counter-steering starts to work against you that problems happen

[@derblaue]

In German we call it the "Gegenpendler". It descibes a pendulum that swings back after swinging once.

[@PixelCortex]

You guys have a word for everything

[@dcskater180]

This actually helped me so much. I think since Ive only been able to slide in snow I learned how to catch a slide way too slow. I wish I had a rwd car now to see if it translates to real life.

[@aficionadosalsimracing]

I have seen many people trying to explain this car behavior. This explanation is really good. In brief: Slide = Oversteer + pendulum

[@RDMracer]

Very good explanation. How I feel it is that you don't want to cancel the rotation completely, but you want to keep looking at the turn, and even look a bit more to the inside if necessary. Once you're in a stable slide, you need to already be thinking of straightening the car out.

[@ApexwithDavin]

You need to work with the car, not fight it. I liked that you focus on realigning or taming the car at the exit. So many people talk about trying to avoid oversteer in the first place which sometimes just isn't possible. Working with the car through the corner, and taming it at the exit keeps you in control as you're driving through the corner, so you're not just holding on. Good video.

[@MiguelMedV]

Congratulations Sir, you Nailed it, absolutely agree with everything that you said! 👍🏻...

[@riconosberg7241]

Fantastic info like always. My personal favorite youtube channel of 2020

[@eSKAone-]

Can't wait for the DLC. Love the game on PS4 Pro (Thrustmaster T300RS + Wheel Stand Pro V2).

[@billyjov]

-Pronto Aris? S🅱INNALA -No

[@grandeprimo]

The Professor ! Kudos!!! Great stuff

[@SpoopyGamer]

xD a technique i know well but watched for the voice and calming nature :P

[@gasixteenb11]

That's why I adjust my line, steering angles, speed, braking and aceleration when I'm late in a race stint.

[@darkblueturbo]

If you start unwinding the steering earlier you can do it more smoothly. I’m finding that very tricky - smoothly exit the slides - in ACC though compared to squidgy road tyres. It feels unnatural at first because you’re turning the wheel against resistance but it feels great when you get it right.

[@RL-]

As a sim noob this has been my biggest problem - getting the fast aggressive movements timed right. I noticed that pulling back the other way (against the resistance) early feels strange and counterproductive but actually results in saving the car more often.

[@RSProduxx]

Funny thing is, in most sims i had alot of trouble catching a drift... In ACC it´s all so intuitive, almost easy to catch... it must be a really bad and fast slide, for me not being able to catch it, most likely ending in a 360 :)And i can confirm it feels very natural, i had quite few situations in real life as well where i either catched an unintentional drift or spun out :)

[@emperorSbraz]

he forgot to mention the handbrake should be engaged during the whole lap. :3

[@cedric9608]

Aris... please,say to the console port Dev team D3T LTD that the new "Force Feedback changes for a more suited feel on console" on the 1.03 update from PC is utterly crap, exaggerated canned efects and less natural FFB on Thrustmaster wheels .... hope they bring pre patch settings that were sublime and more like the PC version . We paid for a pure simulation with corresponding FFB as PC version....not for a canned "GT Sport" FFB ... Real sad what the D3T LTD Devs guys did with yours wonderful sim

[@dedge12858]

I agree it was better before the update.

[@loganm2766]

Thank you for this

[@_GT3_Manu]

Very nice. So is it.

[@rccdesign]

The real trick for catching slides is to create simulator with informative force feedback.

[@AndrewDaniele87]

@@ueberlicht_ lol "smile per mile", I like that as a metric!

[@jakewilliams2784]

Usually catching a slide is about not OVER correcting, sometimes lifting off just makes things worse IMO.

[@mrluken-official]

Grande Aris

[@Giuppyjay]

grande Aris

[@dmcs2003]

Thanks for this! Wondering what I might look at on the suspension/setup of the car if once the car goes into the slide, it is impossible to recover from the slide. Brake, gas, steering, etc. It was like a never ending slide. Is there something I should look at in the setup that might help with this?

[@lambro9973]

Drive a Lambo in competizione for Day and you Will learn it very well

[@pxelguyplays]

Grazie!

[@christoforospaphitis4090]

interresting!!!!

[@MjkL1337]

thanks aris!

[@CamArias]

Nothing against it, but that is probably the thing I didn't really like about RFactor 2 when I started playing it recently. It is just too easy to catch a slide compared to other sims. Really enjoying GT4s in ACC, specially how different they are compared to GT3s. Great fun.

[@p0ck3tzzz]

*cries in controller*

[@UnrealWheels]

Hey Aris, just a thing from the console side of ACC, what are aux lights? and if they're the led strips on the outside of the cars, why cant we see them? is it a graphics thing? or can it be fixed, Thanks. - UnrealWheels

[@DKSimulationGaming]

Did they lower the resolution on the Xbox one x console version?

[@davidollo346]

Aris metterete la telemetria udp per console..... Per favore rispondimi

[@penguin8711]

Just wondering.... Imola DLC ?? 😀🙏

[@_L_i_o_]

"Zak!"

[@dennisetiadi]

wait, it’s all in the realignment?

[@theTutenstien]

yeah if you dont catch it like he shows cars gonna slap you to the other hand and you gonna spin

[@racingenjoyer]

Always has been

[@joewoods4098]

Unmmm just brake and counter steer always works for me.

[@NOXXism]

Braking makes you lose even more time, it's best to ride it out with precision like shown here

[@joewoods4098]

Topzaum I can do that I was thinking more along the lines of a tank slapper not just a baby drift, there so easy to control and keep speed not that I have to do it often 🙃

[@evanovski]

1st

[@Unknownmanufacturer]

All you need is a direct drive wheel (simucube) to catch a slide.. Don't bother if you have a Logitech

[@Wolfox360]

This indicates how stupid this games is in the tire physics, in reality if you start drifting you have to leave the wheel rotate until it start slowing down, if you want to continue the car slide you steer a bit more, if you want to close the bent, continue the corner, you close the steering a bit. This is reality, but in the game is completely WRONG!! Just play Forza Motorsport, for now the only game that I tried that NAILED IT!! ACC is a joke!

[@12th.jahlil]

You must be joking

[@theredbaron7302]

Forza is a controller based arcade racing game. It nails that perfectly.

[@Wolfox360]

@@theredbaron7302 First of all, do you have a driving licence and had you ever put a car sideways? Now I'm talking as a wheel user with FFB, When you drive a real car, this gives you bach reaction through the steering wheel, when you go understeer and oversteer. In Forza all this feedback reach the real fedelity, in ACC when you loose the car the wheel doesn't give you any feedback and remember ACC are GT cars with High Grip, so the feedback should be stronger and very precise, instrad YOU have to guess where to put the wheel to counter react a oversteer, were in reality you just have to leave the steering wheel and stop it if you want to open or close the corner, And this happens is Forza MOTORSPORT!! I'm Not talking about HORIZON!! capit Kido? And you have to udjust the game steering settings to have more sensitive feedback.

[@theredbaron7302]

@@Wolfox360 I ve been playing Forza and AC both with a wheel and a controller. After a lot of setting up with the ingame and wheel driver settings i can say that AC physics feel much more real life like when compared to FM physics. Maybe it is down to personal preference or setup like you said. Cheers.
