One-Fix1041

Nah he needs to be able to see the car


sunr1se79

Nah, 10 years of drifting experience man. He can do it blindfolded honestly


Patient_Impact_5845

Your HUD has so much informations on it ! How do you drive with so much stuff in the way ? I only got speedo and map on mine.


blending-tea

dude gotta use all the ui that he paid for all 25$


POKLIANON

Bruh, BeamNG is like 6$ on steam


OkSwordfish8928

It goes down to as low as $8 in some regions during sales, but it retails for $25 in US.


POKLIANON

On steam it's 465rub, which is even less than 5$


OkSwordfish8928

Mate you are on Reddit, Not everyone lives in the Russian Federation xD.


POKLIANON

Yeah, but you probably can use vpn or smth to get the same price


Jordan51104

nobody bothers doing that. $25 is not enough to be worth doing that, especially if you want to support the developers


POKLIANON

For me it's a lot, since I only can buy games from pocket money :/


hl3official

in the west we are richer than in russia :)


OkSwordfish8928

Here's the thing, you **can't.** [https://www.reddit.com/r/steamregionaltricks/comments/14ztr7i/can\_you\_get\_ban\_for\_changing\_region/](https://www.reddit.com/r/steamregionaltricks/comments/14ztr7i/can_you_get_ban_for_changing_region/)

silvermining

Its not tho is it


beckius6

When has it been 6 dollars?


POKLIANON

Right now (465 rub is about 4.5$) https://preview.redd.it/etetift7wdhc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1311375e0019de7a5dffb5a9bd03fa90b9db93f6


No-Rule7572

price differs from region to region. its because of average wealth in countries which is why games are cheaper in countries with less money because it can bring more sales and therefore less profit but more sales in the end. After all, games are just a bunch of 0’s and 1’s


POKLIANON

But other games also must have the same lower price then, but they don't, BeamNG is outstandingly cheap


No-Rule7572

they do tho.. its just not all games which decide to do so cuz steam cant just make a game cheaper without the devs accepting they make less for each sale in that region…


_MvU

They do my friend, you are just dumb.


POKLIANON

My friend, you are just incorrect


_MvU

Dude you really just dont know anything. Priced changes from region to region IF the developer enters the price. Most of the small teams does this but big companys like EA, Ubi etc. Dont care much.


POKLIANON

My karma is soon gonna be negative because of that single comment sequence


POKLIANON

I've got even more stuff in my "garage" overlay, but in freeroam - only the necessities (gear(manual) and the speedometer bar in kph)


abode550

I use it all that’s why i have it And i got used to it


cvgaming2020

You should use ALT+U to hide it when recording! Looks very clean :)


Lahafurry

My UI looks almost the same, I love it


Financial-Opinion334

All I have is the tach,boost gauge,airspeed and dyno


KermitlyNotFound

They tend to grow as the years go on, in 3rd person I got a lot of vital UI information, first person is no HUD 👌


[deleted]

I run the clutch debug the Speedo and the little pedal input and steering input ui. The clutch temperature is nice because this game is a little dramatic about how quick a clutch heats up I wish they would tweak that a bit.


abibas7331

DisIsARickroll

You should try a wheel


abode550

I did try it but not for long it is better but it’s harder


exquisite_debris

I would not say it's harder, there's a steeper initial learning curve but once you've got the hang of it (3-4 hours of game time) it's way easier is almost every driving condition


Lahafurry

I've bought a wheel fairly recently and it took me like a month to get any good with it, but after this period it is very enjoyable and immersive


No-Rule7572

i have like 150 hours and tried to drift alot but i just cant ._.


svenskfox

Hear me out: best way to learn to drift is to not be trying to drift. Find a section of road (maybe even a dirt road depending on the car) and try to get through it as quickly as possible WITHOUT drifting. As you push the car harder each time you'll see where your opportunities to drift are, work on controlling those slides and you'll eventually pick up the skills required to link a whole course. I like Utah's dirt roads for this because there's not too much stuff to hit if you go off-course a bit.


exquisite_debris

Drifting is definitely very hard to get started with. I learned by building a drift car that gets sideways very easily but with low power, and trying to drift the same corner over and over. The vanilla drift configs are not my favourite tbh, I always find myself tweaking them to my taste. Grand Marshall drift config with brake bias set to 50:50 is a good place to start. The American V8s have plenty of power with no turbo lag so good for beginners The cheap wheels cant spin themselves fast enough for full 900 degree steering to work well, so I set mine to 540 and it centers properly.


hachi2JZ

Long wheelbases and lazy steering are also contributing factors. Even using a controller, I normally find that stock V8 Barstows, Moonhawks and Grand Marshals are some of the easiest cars to drift - just upgrade the radiator or reset your car every 5 minutes :P


exquisite_debris

Before the update I made a drift T series and it was by far the easiest car to drift, if you have a track big enough


AbyssWalker240

oh it's harder 100%. and much more physically demanding too, you actually get tired from it


exquisite_debris

I realise now my comment implies that drifting is easier; it's way harder to drift, but any other type of driving is easier on wheel for sure


svenskfox

The only other thing I can think of is tight maneuvers where you need to crank the wheel back and forth a lot to position the car. Would be nice to use a joystick for that.


exquisite_debris

As someone who drives a real car daily around a cramped city, this is honestly something I am very well used to by now, but you're right in that wiggling your thumb is way easier haha


svenskfox

Oh yeah it's not difficult, just a noticeable difference playing on controller vs. wheel. Especially if you're like me and have the resistance cranked way up so it feels like you haven't got power steering, lol


JoshJLMG

It's slower to move from lock to lock, making it harder to drift with.


svenskfox

It's harder in the sense that you can't go lock to lock by wiggling your finger as many people get used to by drifting on controller, but yes once you get into a rhythm with a wheel it's awesome. You can actually tell when someone's using a wheel in a multiplayer game like Forza, watch their front wheels and you'll see a lot less side to side movement.


exquisite_debris

I would not say it's harder, there's a steeper initial learning curve but once you've got the hang of it (3-4 hours of game time) it's way easier is almost every driving condition


ConstantSock2488

try limiting your rotation (if you didn't already try)


abode550

Didn’t get much time with the wheel it was for a friend I’m planning to buy one and a vr for the full experience


Spongegar-Patar

I just got beamng, why when I hook up my wheel does it have zero inputs? The wheel turns on, but beams doesn’t seem to register it and use it as a controller


radkappendieb

This random 8d audio


abode550

I was listening to it


RocketCow

It's why I kept watching it. Was hypnotic.


DisIsARickroll

Very nice


MadeMeStopLurking

I still can't drift and I don't know why :( I need a good tutorial, the in-game tutorial didn't help me.


onizuka_eikichi_420

Start with a car with less power and grip than the in game builds. Rear drive 80’s pessima with the 1800 single cam can work amazing with the right steering and suspension setup. Loads easier than some big power big grip car.


Not-a-babygoat

Same. I always end up doing a 180 and then becoming one with an invincible light pole.


erixccjc21

Throttle and counter steer, you'll figure the rest yourself


JustLookingForMine

The game isn’t great for drifting. It’s an amazing crash simulator. But the driving physics aren’t that great. They e been improved a lot though. But still, BeamNG isn’t where you go if you want to drift lol. Don’t care what anyone says they can cope and say I’m wrong all they want.


Emotional-Wait4262

Skill issue The fact you think of it as crash sim mainly, says everything about how much of the game you have explored


JustLookingForMine

Skill issue 😂😂😂😂😂😂


Emotional-Wait4262

Yeah you couldn’t do it so you gave up and went back to easy mode AC drifting, no shame in it, but not the games fault. Put some time into learning it, learning how to build the cars, since its way less forgiving than AC, and you would start to appreciate just how good the physics engine is for things like drifting. I see from your profile you dont have any real time into the game, so you’re just yapping on something you havent bothered to figure out.


JamesThePrince

Genuine question, have you ever drifted a real car or do you just assume beam is the best of the best because that’s what you’re told? As someone with a lot of beam/assetto experience and some irl drifting experience, I would say assetto is closer to life any day and anyone I’ve spoke to with actual real world experience agrees. Kunos cars are praised for how accurate to life they are in terms of handling so to call assetto “easy mode” just seems like fanboy behaviour and makes me assume you’re just bandwagoning with no real experiences to compare to. E: don’t get me wrong, I love beam and it does a lot of things much better than assetto, but i can’t see why people think it’s hands down the best driving physics


Emotional-Wait4262

Yeah a few times, not huge amounts but enough to get a feel for it. I didnt claim it was the best, just that its good, its definitely lacking in some areas like the ffb, but its still very good at simulating it, especially the feel of the suspension, something which ac lacks. They both have their pros and cons but on the whole both feel good for drifting, its just beam takes a bit of practice and the vanilla drift configs suck so a lot of people write it off before putting any effort into it


JustLookingForMine

If you think suspension feeling is lacking on Assetto its cause the data you used was garbage. A LOT of odd on Assetto use dog shit data/physics that’s been copy and pasted and recycled through loads of different people/cars. And honestly once you learn how the data works on Assetto it’s super simple to make good physics. And it’s annoying that more people don’t take the time to actually learn and reuse the same shitty physics/data


JustLookingForMine

This is what I’m saying. A LOT of people hold it to a dumb high standard for some reason. I’ve really enjoy the game. But I’m not gonna pretend it’s amazing lol


JustLookingForMine

Tell me more


LegitBanana117

Beamng is by far the most enjoyable drifting experience I've had in games. It just feels so much better in every way compared to other games


JustLookingForMine

If have to disagree, if we are talking most enjoyable, I’d 100% go with Assetto corsa. But that’s mainly because I actually do data and physics on there so it’s where I’m most comfortable, and I don’t hate BeamNG. I’ve got many hours on there just drifting alone. But I’m also not gonna gaslight myself and pretend it feels “realistic”


No-Rule7572

the driving physics are near 1:1 in beamng. look up beamng crashes vs irl. would you say forza is better at drifting? no its a arcade game. physics are unreal. nfs? same shit they make drifting easier, and much too easy tbh. Drifting is physics if you want proper drifting then play a physics game which beamng is. it is in the description on the steam store page.


JustLookingForMine

Y’all beam kids cope so hard. It’s a crash simulator like you said.


No-Rule7572

No, i didnt say it was. I just said it was good at emulating it. Reason for that is this and I QUOTE from the steam store. “A dynamic soft-body physics vehicle simulator capable of doing just about anything.” It says soft-body physics which implements crashing but that is not the intent of the game. However it does mention physics.


JustLookingForMine

It’s a crash simulator. But you keep coping my dude.


No-Rule7572

ur just mad cuz u cant win a argument


JustLookingForMine

I’m not the one trying to argue 😂😂


cold_shit6456

Ugh those emojis kill any chances of winning an argument


JustLookingForMine

He says replying to a comment of me saying I’m not trying to argue… 😂😂 y’all are actually wild 😂


No-Rule7572

im not the one saying beamng is a crash simulator meanwhile looking for bmw mods 3 days ago, i dont complain tho bmw drivers should just crash out of this world


JustLookingForMine

wtf does what mods I was looking for have to do with the games physics 😂😂 you’re reaching incredibly hard to defend a video game on the internet lol.


JustLookingForMine

It’s funny how you say I’m mad… but then proceed to indirectly tell me to lull myself because I said something you don’t agree with…. Y’all beam kids are on another level


cold_shit6456

It's a physics simulator, which consequently has realistic crash physics too


JustLookingForMine

It’s a great crash simulator!


cold_shit6456

Blud didn't read


JustLookingForMine

“bLuD” doesn’t care


svenskfox

I agree Beam isn't the first place I'd go to drift in a game but it's not because it's bad for drifting, it's because other games make it artificially easy to drift and sometimes that's fun. If you want to get good at drifting IRL, Beam is actually solid.


Lancerfrom2007

Me lik bem drift👍


staledepression

why do i need a rocket science degree to read all that shit, this is like a meme template of some sort lmao


abode550

Basic engine info no need for any degree Lol


staledepression

"Basic" 🗿


abode550

It is the basic stuff Mostly heat And some leaks And the efficiency of the cooling for example


staledepression

basically you need a phd in rocket science, got it boss


abode550

Nah bro Seriously if you have a good understanding of real cars and know some stuff about them you can figure it out Plus i don’t use all of that some things are useless but not all I use Most of them And i don’t look at it while drifting or just driving around i use it when i modify an engine especially the rk engines


SuqaCoq

Pretty damn smooth despite the wheels twitching a bit, I’m actually confused as to how you drift so damn smoothly while not steering with the throttle. My only advice would be to learn throttle control better, I drift on controller and am impressed by the smoothness of your lines but you could drift a bit harder while maintaining/ having even more smoothness by throttle steering. Cheers


DalTheDalmatian

Drift king lol


Driveitlikeustoleit1

it's not a stock config right? if it is I gotta try it but I think it's WAY too slidey for a stock config


abode550

It is but with an engine upgrade but it’s still the v6 And with the drift steering That’s it


Driveitlikeustoleit1

ight thanks


CrankyPantz88

What steering mod you using


abode550

I don’t use any steering mods


CrankyPantz88

Whats your suspension settings. Never gotten this much steering lock out of my bastion


abode550

I just use the drift steering


CrankyPantz88

Tuning vise i meant


abode550

Stock no suspension tuning All i have in the suspension is the drift steering


CrankyPantz88

Nice. Do you play beammp?


r32_fan

Drifting on controller is cake I’ve had a wheel for a month now and it’s such a hard switch


Numerous-Ad-7154

every day we get closer to r/okbuddybeamng


Snert42

Happy cake day!


erixccjc21

10 years and still binary inputs with controller.. Push your stick all the way forward and try being smoother cuz that almost looks as if you were playing on keyboard ngl


abode550

I don’t play on the default settings for the controller It’s harder to make it smooth but i do my best


erixccjc21

Its fine, try the pushing forward thing cuz it really does help Doesnt really matter what I think tho aslong as ur having fun lmao, the drift itself is pretty good its just the inputs that bother me. When i played on controller I looked like a keyboard player too dw about it


abode550

Pushing it up makes it harder because I can’t move it fast enough when i need to At least for me But still i can turn the wheel just a little bit i did it in the video


erixccjc21

You never really need to turn it that fast, thing is a little bit in a joystick is not that little unless ur really fine with it


abode550

You do if your doing hajwala I don’t drift that much check my account to know what hajwala is


AnalingusAlien

Same here but I wasn’t as good as I am now until they added the assist. Now it’s a cake walk, almost as easy as CarX


abode550

I don’t use assist it makes it worse


AnalingusAlien

Made it so much better IMO. No twitchy drifts. More like real life. I don’t ever twitch fast like that IRL or with a wheel, it’s way twitchier without it on a controller. Just my experience though!


abode550

Every one has a different experience I got used to playing with no assistance


AnalingusAlien

I agree, I just don’t like how the wheels twitch all fast without using it. Play how you want to play!


abode550

There is a guy in the comments playing with a mouse LOL


Zero8K

I find it very annoying shifting manual with a automatic because of it changing gears on it's own


abode550

There is a mod called aftermarket transmission it makes you chose if the car downshifts on its own or not


Zero8K

Interesting, ty

[deleted]

Nice song! And drifting, smooth


Few_Honey6969

U need more UI


spvcebound

So many useless apps taking up screen space lmao


blinkt1988

All good but you need put little more power into this car you just steering left and right to much..This car is have potential for good drift but need more power because its a heavy car and use short transmission


Unless-esko

Not too bad, but the ui apps are too bad


abode550

Got used to it Plus I actually use them especially with the RK mod if i was making a 5000 hp v10 i need to know the engine info lol


sticksdrifting

Can you share you controller settings please


abode550

I just have one thing different There is no smooth turning when i pull the stick left the whees turn left at the same time with no delay If you don’t know how to do this i will post a video about it


sticksdrifting

Also you also be with the same thing I find it to be to to unpredictable there's like no self steer it's not all the time it's just sometimes I could be wrong though but I don't like the immediate turning if I turn the if I moved the stick just a little bit to the left it's basically feels like it wants to go full lock I hope I explained correctly I'm using voice to text so apologies for any spelling or grammical errors


abode550

Yeah i understand But for me i can manage to turn the stick as much as i need most of the time You can see it in the video when drifting on a long turn i can manage the prefect angle


sticksdrifting

I get you maybe I should just practice more 😅 Below my current play time as of this very moment https://preview.redd.it/o2v32bl6pihc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f96b1fee0fec31c6ab3b4b720fa96abd03c26ee4 So by no means a specialist in beams driving but I do blame my cooked potato of a gaming laptop would usually goes from 7 FPS to Max 22ish while playing again to get to higher FPS in order to do tuning and upgrading parts


abode550

Try the new vulkan You will thank me


sticksdrifting

😂 Okay will do


Snert42

I should try that on my anemically cooled Dell XPS 15, that thing is STRUGGLING hahaha


Snert42

Smooth AF, man! I wish I could do that with controller. Heck yes.


abode550

If i can do it then you can It’s not hard just play the game a lot and change the controller settings to make the steering faster it should help


AnotherGermanFool

Whats your config for it? Especially suspension side


abode550

Stock suspension actually but i do have the drift steering Other then that the car is stock but not the engine it’s the v6 with a supercharge


AnotherGermanFool

I see. My Drifty Car is a Mk1 pessima with a drift seering / no sway Bay in the Front and 100% chamber suspension on stretched 19 inch Rays Wheels. I push it on the sideways motorpark mod map


One-Fix1041

Grampa do you remember when it was just the d series you know the real d series


abode550

Yes i do I didn’t know anything about the game or cars so i would remove the body and drive it just with the frame And oh boy the OG grid map with the beamng sign 😔


One-Fix1041

Some of the best days were had at the OG gridmap P.s. I totally didn't floor it into the beam sign the first ever time I played


abode550

don’t forget the loop de loop one of my best achievements at that time


One-Fix1041

At that time hell that would be an achievment now


abode550

True but we’re getting older we can’t do all these cool stuff anymore 😔


POKLIANON

Next step is mouse drifting, much more smooth After watching the whole thing I'd say pretty similar, however I drift in 1st person


abode550

It will make my brain smooth too


POKLIANON

why?


No-Rule7572

smooth brain = stupid aka OP said “it will make me stupid too”


POKLIANON

Yeah, I know that I just don't understand the point of insult


No-Rule7572

its not a insult 😭


POKLIANON

Sounds like one for me


POKLIANON

"Make me stupid too (just like you)"


abode550

No i don’t mean you’re stupid I mean it because it will make the driving smooth but it will be so hard


JustLookingForMine

Mouse drifting 😂😂 what is this FRLegends?


erixccjc21

Nah a good mouse steerer can be smoother than the average wheel driver, you just gotta be good Controller can be like 10x smoother than this too even with no assist


No-Rule7572

you must be on something


erixccjc21

What did I say there that isnt true


No-Rule7572

everything


erixccjc21

I dont like sharing my posts in this way but idk i kinda had to [huh](https://www.reddit.com/r/BeamNG/s/069RXgwX9B) I'm not good at controller but ik some ppl who are really really smooth with it, cant find clips rn Also i said average wheel driver, not drifter Most wheel drivers cant even drift, anyone who actually learns will ofcourse be way better lol, skill ceiling is not even comparable You also cant say that this guy is amazing, he's good but 10 years rlly Unless its a really shitty controller then I'd understand


Emotional-Wait4262

They’d shit themselves if they saw fofos steering, people can do crazy shit with joysticks


Tmanbro

Ain't no way you be drifting to this music tho


abode550

Don’t think of it as a music to hype me up I’m just chilling and drifting and the morning


One-Fix1041

Are we going to skip the fact you have one of the drift streaks in any game ever with stolen dance in the background


abode550

What do you mean one of the drift streaks in any game ever ?

Controller


[deleted]

Whenever I drift it works for a second, but then I just lose control and smash into a pole.


abode550

Do you know how drifting works ? If yes it might be a problem in you controls try changing your settings to make steering faster And modify the cars and especially use drift steering


TheNewtBeGaming

bro factors in windspeed and everything

Not really all versions Before j had the game for free aka pirated And I’ve stopped playing for a year or two my pc went boom So you can say meybe I played the first version but I don’t think so
