are you in too high of a gear, do you have the revs up, either through power or just with the clutch?

im doing what i always do, it always worked, no higher than 2nd to drift, im a beginner so i dont try and go too fast anyways, but now i cant even get the car to drift, im in 2nd like always dont have the rpm too high b4 the drift then i power up and turn to get the car into the drift but it wont, i leave it on max power and max steer and it wont even drift

u dont understand what im saying, nothing has changed, i drift fine with default setup and most grippy quality track, i dont NEED to change any of the setups cuz i can drift fine with the default settings, i tried changing it cuz why not but it doesnt do anything, so i went all out and made the most changes possible to try and get the rear end to drift, still nothing

Something is up with either your inputs or a setting you've changed. What control are you using? I understand what you have been saying but I can jump in any rwd car now and slide it around.

Are you running any mods at all?

if youre "at max steering" then thats the reason... lol. when your car isnt turning for ♥♥♥♥ because youre scrubbing the fronts so badly, its not going to oversteer unless it has tons of power.

believe it or not, steering more doesnt make the car turn better. there is an optimal "slip" angle where the tyre provides the highest cornering force, making the tyre slip more wont give you any more cornering force than that, which means understeer.

I get what ur saying and ik its not the proper way to drift but was trying everything I could, that's what I've been saying, if I did that b4 it wouldve worked, now I can't even drift the car on max power, it seriously seems like TC is on but it isnt, not in my settings or in the game session...the car just won't drift, like legit the car WONT go into a drift, the back end won't move, and again no its not cuz of the settings, cuz everything was fine b4, so now maybe something changed? but nothing changed I haven't even done anything to the game

quick update i just hopped on and i gave the supra and the ae86 and both drift fine, since im used to the bmw i cant drift in either, i always spin out, but still i really dont know whats going on

drifting in a simulator is hard.
Dritfting in a simulator with a Controller is even harder.

Take dedicated Drift cars and give them negative camber.
For a controller you should learn to not give full speed all the time (especially car with high Newton-Meter will spin out easily)

You can turn on stabilisation in the options ..but even the game tells you that this is unrealistic.

I personally use a G29+Shifter and i learned pretty fast how to keep up a 10min+ Drift combo.
its about "Feeling" the car ..which you cant with a controller.

thanks for the reply but once again u don't understand, ik its not preferable to play with controller and with standard setup but with the BMW drift car I can still drift, like DRIFT, turn a little bit power for a bit and the car will DRIFT the back end will swing, now the back end won't even move at all its like stuck on the ground as if TC is on but its not on, ik what ur saying but it worked fine b4, and I was fine with it I was drifting fine although I'm bad but I was practicing okay, point it I could still drift, now the car won't even drift so idk what is going on

are you driving Manual or automatic ?
usually you are in 2nd gear while drifting because higher gears wont have enough force to oversteer

also how do you initiate the drift?

what i did was fine i was still able to drift, the problem is that now i cant even drift at all unless im going really slow or i really force it to which neither i had to do in order to drift b4, i was able to drift fine and now i cant
