Since that, I knew that Drifting was not going to be a forgotten dream anymore. If you already saw it, you know that it somehow changes your life and understanding of the Man and Machine thing. ![]() Some weeks before that I saw Initial D for the first time in my life. I was so happy that I can finally drift RWD! Tried with EVERY car and it was imposible, but with a little practice and some weeks, I started drifting the Bluebuck. I knew that if that guy did it, maybe I can do it too. And some days later, playing MP, I saw a dude drifting a 200sx as smooth as silk. You know how that kind of crash is, so being here harmless is what some people call a miracle for me.ĭays after that I started driving the only steering left for me. while driving and hit the rear end of a long trailer at 160-180kmh. Then one night I crashed my second car.įall sleep at 3a.m. Life was great, I learned a lot from the game and even saved some other real life crashes due to cognitive memory from all the hours spent behind a virtual wheel. I learned to AWD drift and left the idea of drift RWD because I thought it was an impossible thing in BeamNG. That last thing leaded me to start focusing on how to NOT crash a car. So I started driving hard at Beam, started using slow motion to understand what happen when I force the car while oversteering, and started learning a lot about how to crash. I started thinking that a crash happen when you cannot handle any situation while you're driving. I started playing BeamNG seriously once I crashed my first car in real life (MK4 VW Golf TDI 115hp). well, you know how Beam was 8-7 years ago. It was a G92+shifter but I spent more time playing Assetto because. I played the tech demo for one year till i get a decent PC, then I bought it for 11€.Ī couple years later I decided to buy a steering. Managed to find that video again, and found that it belonged to a thing called BeamNG.drive. vehicle physics wasn't the ones that I expected. GTAV finally came out on September that year and. So unless you want to know how it was for me to get into BeamNG and drifting, go directly to the endįirst time I saw content from BeamNG was on a YouTube video called "GTAV leaked physics video!!", like 10 years ago. This one is going to be an extense text, I tried hiding it in SPOILER, but didnt worked as intended. The limo version is probably the easiest thing to drift in the whole game. The independent rear suspension mod is a game changer. The Grand Marshall is my second favorite and what I learned to drift with. I've noticed the CJD drift steering is much more responsive and has a bit more angle over the vanilla drift steering. The vanilla drift steering is terrible with my wheel so I usually default to the CJD drift steering. Hopefully this issue is remedied in a future update to the mod or game. I have to agree with Fussyfez that the steering is "wobbly" at full lock. The JBX is also very good but I prefer the look of the coupe (especially the KLJP notchback variant) My favorite car to drift currently is the 200BX. I will say that assetto corsa is much easier to learn how to drift on, but there is something incredibly rewarding about drifting in Beam. Got myself a sim setup about 2 years ago and have sunk 1000+ hours into Beam. Started with Forza motorsport on the OG xbox. I've been drifting for many years in video games. Interestingly, powersliding a stock car feels exactly as it should, its only once you use the quick ratio steering that things start to feel odd. I used to try drifting in beam and very quickly give up and go back to AC (I've been sim drifting over 15 years so if it doesn't feel right I'll just go back to the sim that does feel right) but I can actually enjoy a sesh on beam now and enjoy the drifting rather than just getting frustrated. I've played with the various drift steering mods and none of them feel better than the JBX100 imo. I still like to retain the full 900° of steering rotation and the vanilla quick ratio drift steering just makes everything too twitchy with the low steering wheel rotation. One thing I really don't like about the vanilla drift steering is the quick ratio rack. I've found the grand marshal to have the best feel of the vanilla drift cars. If beam felt like AC does for drifting I'd have very little reason to ever play any other game again. ![]() ![]() I would love a proper drifting themed update for beam, with a focus on proper steering angle kits with stronger suspension arms designed for the high forces at high angle. The JBX100 mod is by far the best 'out of the box' drift car but even that suffers from steering wobble at full lock. With each update drifting becomes more and more natural. It used to be very unintuitive and difficult to feel where the front wheels needed to be pointing. I come from sim drifting in assetto corsa.ĭrifting in beam has come a long way from where it once was. The only reason I own a wheel and pedals is for drifting.
