Help me drift on keybord, please ?

Hello Beam pilots, I'm Amazingkilla and need your help. I want to learn how to drift on keybord, I have been trying to drift at least 70 hours but didn't make any progess. I tried differents cars and set ups pressets, someone can make a tutorial or give me tips, please?

 

Try driving with the mouse, it allows your to have smoother steering input without needing a controller or wheel. @AX53 is the guy to go to for that.

 

Car: Hirochi Sunburst Rally 4WD
Map: Trynelgren

1. Floor it.
2. Turn.
3. Press P key.
4. Turn hard.
5. Try to keep the car in control

Thats how i do it

How do you drive with a mouse?!?

 

I use a keyboard and mouse- keyboard to drive and mouse to adjust camera. If you want a good car to start drifting, use the Covet.

 

Howdy, it's very easy to initiate the drift, turn while hitting P key, and to smoothly steer, try tapping the turn key instead of holding it to avoid oversteer, also, make sure you understand how the vehicle behaves whilest drifting on either a wheel or a controller, or if not, you can get a rough feeling from driving them a bit, and, importantly, don't try to drift a bus, it doesn't work

 

I, personally, only ever tried it once a long time ago. Can't remember how it was done, hence why I tagged AX53. lol

 

go in the "controls" menu or whatever its called
find something like "steering axis" or whatever its called
move your mouse horizontally (or vertically if you want to) until something happens

im on macos so i cant open beamng and im too lazy to reboot into windows but it should be right

 

Thanks for the help guys <3

 

The space key is much easier to press IMO than the P key, and it's temporary so it's a much better handbrake for drifting.
Also, FWD isn't drifting, neither is 4WD/AWD but I don't expect a keyboard user to drift a RWD car, I even struggle with that after 100s of hours with a racing wheel.
With a keyboard you lose FFB, on top of already not feeling the G-forces, making it just a game of trial and error, you can't reactively drive on the keyboard. You will start to know the car after a while, but not be able to perfectly predict it.

 

He mean rwd drifting not awd "sliding"

 

It's fairly important, in my experience, to feather the throttle so that you don't lose control and spin out.

 

In order to recover from a drift, don't use throttle. Using throttle will make the vehicle continue to spin in the current direction while no throttle allows the front wheels the gain grip and therefore overcome the spin via steering.

 

you just gotta

 

If you wanna like actually drift the setup of your car has to be right. If your rear tires grip more than your front you spin out, meaning unless your tires or car setup don't make sense for drifting you are limited by your max steering angle. If you try to go past it your lead tire will grip sideways contacting less of the ground and as soon as you start slowing down you will spin out. As for keyboard, It's a pain. I would say just invest in a controller.
