    Ok, so I have been playing Beamng for a long time, and always asked my self, why is it so hard to drive cars?
    It´s almost impossible to give a curve and not crashing when you get out of it because cars go out of control, they start moving from one side to the other, is there anything you can do about it? (apart from trying to learn to drive them which is almost imposible or at least for me)
    I have noticed there is a small reaction problem from the moment you press the arrow to turn and the time it takes for the wheels to turn and when you stop pressing it the time it takes again to get the wheels back straight, and by then you already crashed into somenthing, anything you can do?
    Thanks in advance!! :)

    Do you use a keyboard. If so that is your problem. Also, you can't drive.

    I'm going to hazard a guess that you're trying to drive with a keyboard. Take a moment to picture yourself driving a real car using a keyboard: no middle ground between no steering input to full lock, and no throttle to flooring it. You'd likely crash as well :)

    I'd invest in a gamepad (Xbox 360, PS3) or something like a G25 or G27. Makes the whole driving thing a lot easier.

    Sony never made a PC driver for the PS3 controllers, generally makes them a very poor choice for PC gaming (best bet is an official (aka not a 3rd party clone) wired xbox 360 controller).

    You can get them to work though: http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/SCP_Driver_Package

    Under no circumstances should you use MotionInJoy which is an alternative to SCP. If anyone even so much as suggests to you that you should use MIJ then they should be given a high five in the face with a chair by the hulk as it is malware.

    NOOOOOOO!
    Not motioninjoy. Did you try SCP and it didn't work? MiJ may work but I've seen it trying to get out through my firewall to Chinese ip addresses
