This ruf is going to be an acquired taste

How do you people drift this with G27? I've got the FFB dialed in so that I even feel engine idle vibrations, but I basically got no slip angle feedback, especially at the critical point when drifting starts. I use CSR Elite pedals, which should help, but usually the back end just slides away (reminds me of iRacing), or I got the pendulum effect after poor reactions. I usually enjoy retro cars, like Shelby Cobra, but this has been horrible for me so far. Should I somehow only use visual and sound cues? (and yes, lowering the boost makes driving easy, but that is not what I'm looking for).

 

interesting!
do you know what tires were used?

 

JyriK, use your eyes and learn to interpret simulation FFB.

When the steering goes light as you start to oversteer, that's because you're in a 4 wheel drift, and both sets of tires are sliding equally. Right then you want to countersteer and as you countersteer more, the FFB will help you.

Also, your FFB settings are awful if you can feel anything when idle. Lower your strength and min strength asap. I run 99% in the profiler, 100% strength 0% all other sliders, 12% min strength.
65% strength in setup for cars with powersteering, 75% for manual racks and 80% for cars with very heavy racks.

Also nothing terribly wrong with AC physics. It's just that simulation FFB doesn't do as good a job as real FFB does. AC does a great job though, learn to interpret what vibrations at the limit, under the limit, steering going light or heavier on the limit etc. means. Only AC to now has simulated race cars' racks going light on the limit, and streetcar's racks going heavy.

 

I suck at drifting and this car is one of the easiest to drift I've tried in AC. The new FFB might help though, I have not tried many cars since 1.0. If you can feel the engine vibrations on idle, then you have your FFB way too high, which means it's probably constantly clipping. You can't drift without a proper FFB setting. Never go over 60-70% gain with the G27.

 

90' streets in AC

 

Thanks gentlemen. I have profile force setting at 87%, car setting at 100%, and min force at 18%. I've used the wheel check app to get the feedback as linear as possible. According to the default pedal app, it is clipping only very rarely, usually not at all....BUT perhaps I should not trust it? I will test with lower forces later.

 

Geat car indeed.

Generally i laugh my a** off when i see people post sh*t on other websites about how this car is supposed to be harder and all.

What they dont think about is that AC defaults at 100% grip of the track.
I really think they (KS) should change that, makes people think cars have a lot more grip compared to Rfactor2 that i think starts on a green track.

Also, the video of the dude driving the RUF @ nords should be replicated with a 95-98% track grip and not 100.

 

Yes. 90s road tyres, track set to green or dusty, track temp set to 20c or probably even lower.

 

Btw, I've been testing with 95% track grip (Slow) and 20 Celcius.

 

Why game wasn't updated for me? i dont have the Yellowbird in my game (

 

Verify game integrity

 

What do you mean? Game is original bought it months ago since early access and all updates worked fine till this one

 

In Steam, right click on the name of the game, and choose Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache.

 

Did more testing. Using Force Feedback Clipping Meter I verified that the problem was not clipping. It turned to be Min Force. While 18% was an "empirical" value for a low force profile setting (87%), it somehow killed smaller forces. I changed the value to 12%, and now I can feel it! Got a big grin after controlling a huge RUF-drift for the very first time (Silverstone National, 1st corner)! Yay!

 

12% is the best for Logitech wheels

 

Are you guys drifting this car with 900° steering angle? Especially for the long drifts I have to virtually throw the wheel around for countersteering, what most of the times doesn't result in some precise maneuvers

 

I know the feeling, lol

 

I use 900 and it works fine for me. Gives me much more incremental movement and allows me to use to had more to modulate the turn I need.

 

if you can drift well and smoothly without the back steping out too quickly that is right.
if you dont, like me then you have to to the swing it around in a hurry

 

On this image is normal 915 gearbox pattern, but on next is gear knob with dog leg pattern (also in use for this gearbox) ...

But you were right, Stephan did use gearbox with dog leg (visible after Ex Muhle) ... and I am aware of setup capabilities but I doubt it`s like that because it is on safe side - it would understeer much more.
Having old 911 neutral is only posible with full fuel tank but not for long ...

I am trying to say that, without understeer and lift off oversteer (steering with throttle) the whole point of "driving it properly" like Porsche, doesn`t have sense any more.
