I've just realized that the main way I've been initiating drifts this whole time is the Scandinavian Flick. I never realized this wasn't the most common/easiest way to do it, which explains why I always found it really hard to control my drifts.

[@notasimp2426]

lol same, im used to initiating drift like that in carx but its alot harder in beamng

[@TeJoeTheHoe]

I do the same, witch i mostly think came from me rallying quite a lot and it got nothing to do with the control of your drift, its just a way to initiate it

[@bratbay]

I thought so too XD it's fun to do Arabic drift on the highway hoping not to fly into the trees

[@onlyexisting]

'the barrel roll drift" , feel like you forgot the "drift into the barrier because misjudged corner " one

[@avn4975]

happens so many times lol

[@JasperHuskyFox]

The Barrel Roll Drift where Peppy yells at you to "DO A BARREL ROLL", and as you initiate the drift, Wolf O'Donnell behind you says "What the heck?!" Bonus points for a silver and blue paint job

[@evmanbutts]

6:30 to jump drift, throw a scandi flick before a crest going into a corner, Ideally you time it so your weight transfer happens as your front tires run up the crest, then its as usual from there.

[@CostanTheOne]

[@ethanramsay8013]

I find doing the scandi flick with a braking drift while downshifting the easiest for me, and depending on what car I drive the handbrake too

That steering tip with the controller changed my life thank you!

[@ke1vin]

Yesterday I sat down and said “I’m not going to leave this chair until I drift a stock 200bx around this one corner”. Took me 2 hours but I finally did it. The hardest part for me was exiting the drift without spinning out or stalling. I recorded the whole thing and I want to do a super cut of every time I slammed into the guard rail lol

[@yourbigfan1777]

Giving yourself a rest is important too

[@mathias4514]

Yeah I had the same problem in assetto Corsa, couldn't get out of the drift smoothly

[@happydemmoman]

"Please, don't use a keyboard." me: laughing because i can still drift in BeamNG with a keyboard seriously god help me.

[@cathyerinandaidan8206]

I know how you do it: Every button on your keyboard is binded to a different degree of turn in and you rapidly press the different buttons stubbing your fingers very fast therefore initiating a drift

[@happydemmoman]

good try but no, i use standard WASD controls and i make it out fine honestly

[@happydemmoman]

handbrake, tapping accel and turning is the way to go

[@IK4MS]

Yeah it's not exactly like a controller's a significant upgrade lol

[@kawaiishibe5304]

You can floor it, the car will steer back once it's on the straight, like controller, diffcult to do but try it, but don't forget throttle control

Thanks for this man. I'll try it out soon, at the minute my fav car to use is a custom AWD Gavril Barstow F2 around west coast and a little mod drift map. Hopefully I'll soon be able to do a RWD drift :)

[@kjp-sy8uf]

helped me a lot! thanks!

[@ShawDrift]

For controller users: you can turn on clutch override, it helps you to not spin out :))

[@PatalJunior]

On the camera options, one of them makes the orbit camera thigter, and will follow more the car, that might help you to drift and see where you are going

[@developer_summer9925]

[@kiwuuspurr1927]

woah that's cool

[@arloarlo9285]

very helpfull thanks=)

[@romeclarke660]

thanks, my only issue was changing to gear one when i was drifting :)

[@BasedMan]

I find flooring it and upshifting works great on cars with TORQUE (Like a w124 Mercedes mod with a turbo 3L Diesel engine)

[@Ragginn1]

Nice now i can show off my skill that i dont have to friends that dont exsist

[@TRSevenboi]

Now for the verdict of muyes vid and some of mine: Overall the video was good, very detailed tutorial and had all the right bits in the right place, and I appreciate the use of a custom config. My Suggestions: 1. Tune the car for oversteer, easy to initiate and to catch the car when its slides but exit can be tricky, have a light hands on the wheel 2. The Pro drift Supra (Hirochi Prasu) has a really good steering angle might be better for beginners 3. The throttle modulation was not as emphasized as I thought, a good balance between the steering and throttle can lead to good drifts 4. Setup is fricken important, You can have a car set up soft (soft springs) and make it easier to upset the weight and have it easier to initiate. You can also have it set hard (stiff springs) amd have a good drift and exit and have more precision. Personally in lower powered cars the I like to have it set up soft primarily because of the lack of power. Try finding a good balance. 5. Weight and wheel base wasn't prioritize for the use of drifting a variety of cars, Weight must be kept around 1.4 tons to have a good balance between response and twitchyness. Of course it all depends on the type of car, FR (Front engined RWD) is preferred and wheelbase must be kept at a little bit of the longer side, short will be good to initiate but be harder at the limit, long will be better personally. Be away from Mid engined short wheelbase cars for obvious reasons. 6. Finally, inputs: Wheel will offer better precision, but I suggest turning the Force feedback a bunch up because BeamNG.drive has pretty weak FFB, controller is a little bit harder and takes a bit more practice Verdict: Overall very good, This has been put up here and in the discord, this is to people in who arent in the family fucking friendly server I think this will help people!

[@juanordonezgalban2278]

Your thoughts on Gymkhana 2020? They undershooted a jump at 250km/h. Incredible that Pastrana and the subie got away

[@noxygen5925]

I use the 2.0 Awd Sunburst to drift but the thing is it has super good grip and when you clutch kick it acts like a drift car

[@wildwolf_0G]

im using controler and i have mapped the clutch to the LT and brake to LB its very fun to kick or press the clutch this way its a bit unorthodox way

[@uprising__]

I watched this and on the gridmap part you did normal drifting, you had opportunities to 360? Can you teach us to Do Reverse entries and 360?

[@M54B30_fan]

Drifting (at least with a wheel) is waay harder then anything other game. Asetta Corsa and dirt rally 2.0 are way easier to slide and maintain then beam. Edit 8/18/22 Saw my og comment ^, I believe beam has gotten significantly better after the tire grip and ffb updates. Not as easy as ac or fh5 still, but manageable on nearly every car, except the mf 200bx, they gotta balance that boi.

[@AgedChedder]

Ya know what is the best drift? Walk mode drift Simply press A or D and W at the same time

[@Your_nearest_toyota_dealer]

3:01 Well, drift is supposed to be initiated before a corner, whereas if you start "drifting" after the apex, it would rather be called a powerslide Anyways its awesome if you can drift in Beam.NG, its really hard compared to other driving sims

if youre struggling with keyboard try the gravel rally vivance :D

[@freiwilderwend2208]

If you got big hands use the 360 controller which has the left thumpstick higher up

[@duncemaster5628]

But you could also If you are fast enough and you mess up the flick drift you can turn it into a reversal

[@anonymoususer3076]

2:28 you cant stop me im going to use my keyboard

[@Cymanytb]

You need a stiffer suspension so the car doesn't bounce that much. Otherwise great video!

[@jwalster9412]

Tune my car for what situation there going to be in, if it's narrow tight turns then less power and shorter gears. The less tight the longer the gears and more power you should have.

[@RayOLight]

I am very familiar with drifting on assetto, carx and forza but I struggle a lot with beamng. I feel like it's wheel settings because there isn't much self steer

[@corvettezone1771]

Hey if you haven’t been playing for a bit, check the tuning settings. The vehicle config has a way to turn FFB up, but for specific setups only. Hope this helps.

[@djtechnodj]

Love the videos. Can you make a tutorial how to config a car to drift. What wheel size/wide, wich tires (sport, drift, race), suspension setup (lower/wider better?), then what gears and diff type and values. I drive on G29 wheel and having strugle to make and tuned a car to drift.

[@juanordonezgalban2278]

I could alway get me a 1994 toyota celica for 1000€ and learn to drift in my town's industrial district at 3:00pm on a saturday night.

[@netherquark]

Mmm yes 3pm on a Saturday night

[@moon_wingo]

Oh, drift is done with rear wheel(rwd) drive only, if we use four wheel drive(awd) or front wheel drive(fwd) it is not drift it is power slide, even if we keep it aside

This man just called out keyboard drifters and wall taps .... Wow XD Wall taps are supposed to be about showing technique and control, not smashing the back of the car against a wall, wall drags are also a bit different from wall taps unlike when some people do it. Pulls out keyboard, man you're lucky i don't have this game .... I'd whipper snap you back to the month you posted this. I learned the power of the outside line and the tandem drift on the keyboard! Don't look down on my skilllzzzz! Nah I'm jk it's not that serious, i would try the course on keyboard if i could though but more to have fun. Hope you work on your whips and clutch through! 😁😇😉

7:37 this is factually wrong - if you're not tracing the wheel/letting it slide and self steer while drifting you actually won't be able to drift. our worthless human arms are incapable of moving fast enough to compete with the self steer of cars when drifting.

[@dominicking8141]

BeamNG is a weird game tho bro, it never seems to control the drift with its own self-steer, its completely different to something like assetto corsa where this is true. or thats just my own opinion anyway
