GT5 & Logitech DFGT - what settings?
Discussion
Ok so I've just set up my DFGT for the 1st time (on the ironing board, but that's another story...) and had a little blast with a std M3 on the Top Gear test track. I can already see the benefits of the wheel when trying to drive smoothly for speed, however drifting is *difficult*!!
So far I've tried Amateur and Professional for the steering types (preferred amateur!), and have the Power Assistance set to off and Force Feedback to 1.
What settings are people using for their DFGTs and any tips for drifting etc?

Cant confirm if the sim/pro/amatuer thing makes a difference but i had it set to sim. And i had power steering on and FF set to 3 and it was great.
Drifting is tricky at first but it gets easier and VERY addictive once you get the hang of it.
Jump in a totaly bog stock supra RZ. Its one of the easiest things to slide without too much power to worry about. Try scandinavian flicks and watch real life drifting vids of interior shots and replicate the 'throwing' of the wheel and catching it.
I got on with comfort softs the best for drifting aswell.
Warning regarding the wheel... the FF motor will die if you get very aggressive with it..
gtplanet has some excellent drifting advice.

For anyone with a DFP that does not know, you can change the wheel to 200 degree rotation from 900 by pressing Select, R3 and right paddle at the same time. The right hand led will go out, and you should hear a click. It makes it more sensitive, but it should be easier to get lock on quickly for drifting. I would also think that most race cars dont have 900 degrees of steering lock, so technically its more realistic!!

I didn't think this is applicable for the DFGT. There is no right or left LED's on the wheel and I read on other forums that this feature is not available.

There's a really satisfying "Thunk!" as the bump stop slides into place. I can not point the front wheels in the direction I'd like 'em to go, and my drift score on the TGTT almost doubled!
It was aimed at vdubbin who I believe uses a DFP, forgot to quote it...
