    Im not sure if its just lag or if its some sort of turning control i have set for my turning,
    but no matter what, with every car, i always burnout on my first/second turn (drift to far).
    no matter if its left or right, no matter what track.
    it seems as if i can only go straight, aiming ramps is the herdest, and keeping straight on a road is most diffacult.:mad:

    I'm pretty sure you're talking about drifting, which is when your tires lose traction from the ground, and not burnouts, which are completely different. Steering in Drive without losing control can be tricky using a keyboard. The only way to really improve this is by using a gamepad, or even better, a racing wheel. But if that isn't an option, try tapping your turning keys (A and D) instead of holding them down, and you should have an easier time.

    The cars are perfectly controlable with the keyboard if you have a bit of skill.
    Try being more delicate on your inputs. Don't hold down the turning keys and try tapping them, like the guy above me said.

    Remember all those arcade racer games you played with over-excessive stability control made it virtually impossible to lose control? BeamNG isn't in that category. Try driving it as if it was a real car basically, then you shouldn't have an issue:)

    If you hold down the gas key you're technically wide-open-throttle. Go for a drive IRL and take a turn at wide open throttle (foot down). If the over steer doesn't school you and put you in the ditch then please let us know of your experience. BeamNGDrive requires finesse, as stated above. Be gentle.

    And in regards to Ceuper, I'm certain you mean over steer. Drifting is the control of an intentional skid (over steer).
