wah..all your times need improvement...keke..errrr u no particular questions how to help u....keke..but i can say for one month that's not bad at all..i wasn...

oh.... controlled slide? ur definition of drift is this ar. that means i'm drifting everywhere lo. Mr. Green
and being a car and racing freak for so many years, at least i noe what is drifting.... and trust me, u can drift with to ae86 in idas. tho not every turn, but i do.

HIRA SG

i'm sorry..yes cars like Trueno and capp have more drifting motion than other cars in the game...but it is not a true drifting motion...i'll say it again..it is a POWERSLIDE..there is a difference between POWERSLIDING and DRIFTING...go check up google if you're interested.. Wink

and for the last time, the physics of Initial D Arcade Stage does not incorporate drifting nor any realistic driving....you as a supposed racing freak should know that...well, i've said my piece...if you still wana belive it's drifting, it's up to you.. Wink

Hmm....

AFAIK:

Drift - You're already sliding before the turn, because you've already initiated a loss in traction. How you do that, it has something to do with the throttle, brakes.

Powerslide - You go too damned fast into a corner, probably during the turn, your tires lose their grip, and your rear wheels slide out. However, you still have a little vestige of control. This is what happens in the game.

Oh! Forgot my reply to thread starter. I got a feeling the new best car's the NA6C, the older version of the Roadster. Mr. Green

HIRA SG

meh i thought it was the Levin 85.. Mr. Green

cool... i use tis whenever i play zhen wang wif my rx8... coz some corners r tight n i need to do tis so i can clear it.... however... when i play akagi wif my rx8... when i reach one place where there is 3 curves... my car got wheel lock after the second curve n bang all the way durin the third curve... can anyone teach me how to prevent tis? Confused

jb_koala SG

mayb u r going a little too fast? i think if u dont go too fast. u can clear everything by light braking or letting go gas. unless u r trying to go for records, the bo pian lo…. but mayb should just try slower 1st, get it right, then increase the speed ba… that’s imho.

HIRA SG

is your car fully-tuned? coz once a car gets more tuned, wheel-locks become a rare occurance...the way to get rid of wheel-locks is to let go of the gas, tap the brake, and steer, then step back the accel...

Hehehe...controlled slide? I'm sure every ID player also control their sliding when going through every corner....unless a super newbie. From what I can read and understand in this posting, HIRA's definition of powerslide seems like can be achieved with braking first then when clearing the corner, you downshift the gear. And HIRA's definition of drift seems like downshift first then brake and release accelerator before going into a corner and accelerate while going into a corner. At least that is what it seems to me.

I think when you downshift, brake and release accelerator....it seems like a drift to me. I quite agree with jb_koala.

And also we have to face the fact that this is only a game. It is probably the most realistic drift game currently in the market, as drift as you can get. Unless...you have another better game to recommend to us, HIRA.

Hehehe...really no point even if you tell us all your real-life car physics in this forum....since ID is just an arcade game for people to enjoy. If you want realism....imagine if there is a clutch pedal on the left of the brake pedal. How many people would actually want to play it? Smile I dunno...hehehehe...but for sure people who got real cars and drive everyday would find it super sian if they after driving to the arcade and then still need to drive when need to enjoy a simple arcade game. Later after playing ID, leg cramp cannot go home then how? Smile

Relax lah...hahahhaa....... Smile

jb_koala SG

woah, clutch ar... he he, dont noe what will happen. mayb can even make the engine die in the start, where u let go ur clutch too fast. ha ha, or maybe make it rock like a horse when u just let go of the clutch full speed with full gas at the start. ha ha ha Mr. Green

HIRA SG

If you really think that is drifting, then i can really scream n00b.. Shocked

Now, here's a little lesson-

-the only true definition of a "drift" is "a controled sideways slide", meaning, it's the fine driving line between over steer and under steer.

-it is NOT DRIFTING!!! it's SLIDING or ASS-DRAGGING. drifting is the combination of getting your car sideways and being able to control it using the power to the rear wheels.

So, n00b, have a few lessons in car physics. The physics in ID RESEMBLE drifting, but it is not PURE drifting, it is POWERSLIDING.

And if you really think you are the ownage in ID or car physics, i'll give you a practical ID lesson instead of the theoritical one here, all courses (barring shomaru and myogi), one direction for each course, 7 races. PM me if you accept it.

HIRA SG

N00b, read this..

http://velocity.isfaster.com/drift/overview/overview.htm

''Basically, drifting is getting your car sideways down a road. It doesn't sound very hard does it? Sounds a hell of a lot like power sliding huh? Well it ISN'T, it's much more COMPLEX. Instead of a drifter causing a drift and then countering to straighten out, he will instead over counter so his car goes into another drift. That is the reason many drifters do it in the mountains, because there are many sharp turns strung together. So in essence a good drifter has the ability to take five or six opposing turns without having traction at any point in time. To put it simply a good definition of drifting is, "Sliding your car through a set of opposed and grouped turns without having rear wheel traction as your car moves laterally through the turns."

you n00bs waste my time..

Maybe it's a bit difficult to visualize the movement of the vehicle in powersliding and drifting since they look quite the same. In the game before the race starts, sometimes there is a picture of Takumi drifting the car. Look at it closely, the car is almost perpendicular to the road.

When you normally turn a car left, the left wheels (front and back) travel a shorter distance than compared to the right wheels. Powersliding is a sliding version of this. This is how all of the turns in ID is taken.

Drifting is when you get the car almost perpendicular to the road and actually smoothly follow the curvature of the turn. In this case, the rear wheels (left and right) will actually travel a greater distance than the front wheels (left and right). This is because the front wheels are on the inside of the turn and the rear wheels are on the outside of the turn. The closest to an actual drift I can think of is to use a RWD car and drive on Myogi. If you do a drift correctly, your view should be actually looking over the mountain side and not really be in line with the road. Also computer drivers on Iro perform minor drifts for the turns.

So yeah, there is no drifting in ID (except for Myogi and com drivers).

parn SG

x2...hehehe...agreed.
By the way, since HIRA mentioned that ID does not involve drifting physics.....then how about the akina snow course?

I think he should upgrade himself and play ferrari f355 challenge instead, got clutch pedal for them to train his 'drifter's drift'...hehehee.....and no need to get so upset and agitated over a posting anyway.

By the way, the word drifter means 'wanderer' or 'homeless people'...hehehee....can't really imagine them causing any drift..hehehe...probably will cause huge drift if they stand in the middle of a busy road...maybe orchard road? Smile

Probably you consider yourself a 'pro', but the fact is nobody always win. I think you probably never drive an underpowered car before and that's why your ego is huge. Maybe if you can drive a AE85 and win an RX-8/RX-7 in akagi downhill then proclaim yourself whatever specialist you want. Maybe then people will give you the respect that you desperately needs. I think if you can self-proclaimed yourself as a downhill specialist, why not self-proclaimed yourself as 'The President of the United States'? I think that title is more shiok and people will definitely stunt for 1 second when they see your title...isn't that better? Who knows...maybe you can be the next Wiliam Hung? Smile

By the way, have you ever wandered why nowadays you are the only 'pro' answering the forum? Hehehehe.... Smile Hahahaha......

jb_koala SG

erm... can we stop this quarrel? Rolling Eyes

HIRA SG

parn, you have not replied to my challenge. i dont care what you think of me, just accept the race..it wont cost you more than a few bucks..oh btw if you want, i can use a stock 85 (yes stock) to race against you since you think an R34 is not an underpowered car..k?

HIRA SG

oh btw i dont always win...my win percentage is only 53%... Wink

jb_koala SG

what is stock? means totally never upgraded or had the maintainence upgrade? Question

HIRA SG

totally never upgraded..

Smi|y_DC2 SG

me car is 70000+ liao... but when i reach the first curve i turn in my 6th gear... second wif my 5th gear.. then "bang!!!" me car go straight into the wall... so do i need to downshift when i release the gas or tap the brake?
