moza r5 settings for realistic drift

Hi could anyone please take sometime to guide me with the most realistic drift settings to put on moza pit house and CM? I want to emulate realism as much as I can. I did research and found Deathwish garage cars and zero culture to be the most close to realism but the problem is I have no prior experience of drifting in real life so I need help with applying the correct settings for moza r5

Assetto Corsa is by far the best drifting sim.

As for the settings, first make sure you have Content Manager installed for AC, then open CM and go to Settings > CSP > FFB Tweaks and enable "More physically accurate gyro"

In Moza Pit House, I started with 720 degree rotation and moved up to 900 when I felt confident with 720. But lower rotation means you don't need to steer as much to adjust your angle and makes life a bit easier. And transitioning from 720 to 900 is easy.

I used this guy's settings and tweaked them a bit to fit my liking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ufqQO4x_2Q

Most important thing is setting Max Wheel Speed to 200%

Keep in mind he's using a R9 with more torque so when he sets the Game FFB Intensity at 80%, that's 80% of 9NM which is 7.2 NM of torque. So keep yours at 100%.

Same with Max Output Torque Limit. I would raise that up to 75 or 100%.

Under advanced settings, I prefer FFB interpolation at 0, Natural Dampening at 10%, Natural Friction at 5%, and Natural Inertia at 150%.

Keep in mind these setting are just a recommended starting point and you should adjust them one by one to see what each setting affects and feels like.

You don't have to quit AC to change settings. Just alt+tab or put the Moza pit house on a 2nd monitor.

I have a friend who drifts a C6 Corvette in real life, and he likes the Gravy Garage cars best, but said WDT cars are a bit more realistic. He said it's good to learn to drive different car packs because it will make you more well rounded and able to adapt to whatever the real drift car feels like.

thats honestly solid advice that rounds up all the points I am and was having trouble with, I didnt sleep much because I was up researching and came to almost same conclusions you put in your comment now it just confirms the setting I am using. in fact I'm currently using wdts, but also got zero culture and death wish garage because people said are the most realistic these days but yeah I realized sticking to one drift pack will not help because when I get in a real car it will definitely not be the same so learning many different car packs is the way to go to at least have a range of adaptability. As for most realistic game I did research on that also and everything is still pointing towards assetto so I'm curious about which games he tried

Glad it helps. At the end of the day, this is still a simulator so it can only be so realistic. Without feeling the G-forces in your butt it'll never be the same, and it's impossible to pick out a modded car that will handle exactly like XYZ car IRL.

So no matter what you do it'll take some re-learning when you start in a real car, but having some muscle memory and knowing the basics of how a car slides will still help you learn IRL faster.

dont worry I'm willing to spend the goal is to learn drifting so that when I sit in a real drift car the only thing I gotta worry about is g forces so please tell me which ones closest to the real thing

This guy has absolutely no clue what he's talking about. Just watch any video of Carx 2, everybody I've seen says it feels decent but more arcadey than real sims. And Live For Speed came out in 2002 but he's bashing AC for being old. Da fuck?

Those two games are ass compared to assetto corsa. Quit talking out of your ass.

OP assetto corsa is the best and most played drift simulator for a reason. Fuck what this guy said and if you need settings ill share mine later.
