I don’t if it’s just me, but I’ve been trying to use realistic drift tuning setups and they’re not working as best as i thought they would. I’m trying to remake the DW AE86, with a complete LS swap and pushing 646hp, i made the tires as thick as can go, and did what i could with camber and suspension, but everything seems out of wack. Each time i get the tune were i want it to be another problem shows up, the problem im having the most is when i counter steer even a little it quickly jerk out towards the direction im steering. I don’t know if this is driver error or tuning fault, but if anyone could help with tuning that’d be great.
Are you using a wheel or a controller and are you using sim steering or normal?
I’m using a controller, with normal steering
When fixing or tweaking things only make one change at a time before testing again. If you are making that one change at a time, make sure it is to the end of the car that has the problem.
When you countersteer and this issue occurs, is it off throttle or on throttle - how much throttle? How much are you countersteering? Is it because you had an awkward line coming into the drift and your inputs are wanting to do something the car cannot at that speed or angle and this results in the unwanted slide?
That’s what I’ve been doing, I’ve been tweaking things here and there were the problem seems to show the most, but once i get the fixed another one shows up. I have found a decent setup recently but it’s not along the guidelines of a real drift car, but it works and i think i realized I’m wanting the car to be perfect when perfection takes time. When I’m countersteering i go half throttle and counter steer just enough to get around the corner, but some times when i countersteer just a little it’ll like spazz and straighten out for a second or it’ll just spin me out.
How are your controller dead zones set? 0-100 is where mine are now. If running the default then that can lead to some weird behaviour.
Whats your tune in the ae86 as far as camber and spring settings? I run 6k in front 8k in rear for dampening/compression. Go as low as possible and me personally i run -5 in front and +1 in the rear. Also check your gearing because your torque can be applied weirdly which will make you go in a different direction than desired
