How to judge counterstering on grand turismo 4 (drifting)

Post by Hardcore drifter »

I have recently just purchased a logitech g25 steering wheel, the whole package is great. Working gas, brake and clutch pedals excellent build quality you know what I mean. But it has one big difference from my previous wheel. It has 900 degree steering, which means when you have got the car sliding, you need to countersteer (to keep the drift going) very quickley.

I would just like some advice on how to judge when to countersteer and for how long.

I can initiate the drift quite easily, and I can also feather the throttle quite well.

Any questions that you might have I will be happy to awnser them.

You could turn up the steering sensitivity... My wheel only turned about 220 degrees, so that's all I can think of.

This forum is not for Grand Turismo it's for NFS can't you read, if you want help on another game go to the "The Games" section.

For your steering problem, what is the problem? You can't turn the wheel quickly? If yes then Carcrazy has the answer.
If the problem is: how to see how much you need to turn the steering wheel to keep the drift going. Then we can't help you.
