As someone mentioned in the comments, the first person camera settings can potentially help you out (if you haven't had a look at it already), under "Camera" > scroll down to "Camera: driver". If you haven't checked it out yet however, you ought to see if adjusting the "Look-ahead angle" setting will give you what you need to look further ahead into the drift (higher the value, the more the camera rotates as you drift).
BeamNG is my favorite "racing" game, Once you learn the mechanics its fun and quite rewarding. Each car also handles quite differently. My favorite drift car is the Bluebuck. I find it relatively easy to drift with
@BEEFCAKEDRIFTS I switch it up, mainly in first person. You can increase the FOV if its too narrow for you. I turned mine up to around 70 degrees if I remember correctly
i love beam ng, personally think that the mechanics are just so realistic and ive never quite got the hang of drifting in it but its great to see someone learn. love the content from GB
I love these videos and that cam angle that didn't affect the gameplay but shows me accurately how the wheel is spinning. I'm trying to learn drifting and this plus the commentary helps a lot.
@@TheFatBrit i use 8 nm and NEVER use even close to full power, i want it to feel realistic, like when driving in real life.. but this game just feels weird
for the setting a home and shit, you can do ctrl + R to set a home and R to go back to home. you can set some buttons up on your wheel so you can go home without using the keyboard. To set the buttons up you just gotta look in options under controls
Changing the throttle linearity in settings. So it curves up made the biggest change for me. Allowed me to stat in the throttle, modulate, then get to/off full throttle quickly.
Hey, iv just decided yesterday that i wanted to finaly learn to drift and i noticed your wheel automatically counter steers fast! I only have a G920 is this a limitation of my wheel?
Btw I saw your last video and you seemed to be struggling with the pro drift 240sx so you can click escape and then vehicle configuration and you can click on engine to make the car slower or faster
The way I got it to drift really well was clutch kicking getting the car to start sliding then once the momentum is throwing sideways into the corner let off the gas, let the car find its angle, the get back on the gas then its about the throttle control to keep the angle. Also i use a set of mod tires that are stretched that work great or the standard in the rear and some grippier tires in the front works good as well. I run a 3080 and play at 4k pretty high settings, the game needs so much cpu i end up bottlenecking at any other resolution but i get around 50-80fps its very inconsistent but its nice looking XD but on the small drift maps like those i average like 100fps and on a bigger but still less demanding map on the mt akina port i get 80 ish fps pretty stable. But the big or medium sized official maps or detailed mod maps its inconsistent. Then with traffic its pretty bad but its around 40-50fps. Good luck on learning
You can adjust the first person field of view, I think its in camera settings. I have mine turned to I think 60 or 70 degrees. But you can adjust to what looks best for you
Yo in the mod section search look ahead camera install it and add the look ahead ui app and make sure to select the new look ahead camera instead of the normal one and it will look towards the apex and simulate a real person looking around and also turn on keyboard camera adjusting then press shift page up to fix the fov
I have a 3080ti on a rig with triples. I have to run on lowest which blows my mind, i run assetto on ultra and get 120+fps and 90-100fps on no hesi. completely agree with your entire assessment of this game.. it’s a giant struggle.. it’s not first person friendly whatsoever at least from everything I’ve tried. 1st person is the only way I can play. I don’t understand how 3rd person driving is realistic?? I just started drifting in beamng this week but I’ve had the game for over a year. The game does not feel realistic in first person at all. The fov is trash. I think it’s a 3rd person game why else would they work so hard on crash physics.. Giving it another shot because of the update. But it has been fun trying a new game on the sim. I can link tracks it’s just really sloppy. I also have trouble with direct drive wheel settings and I can’t get it to feel good at all going to look into the lut. when the ffb feels nice and tight it shakes violently at lock.. then when I try and smooth it out or lessen the ffb a tad it feels like I’m getting barely any ffb. Idk I’ve been drifting on assetto corsa for many years and it’s dialed in.. check out my channel and let’s tandem sometime I can teach you in assetto..
@@thetwitchywarlock i got it all figured out this is 5 months old.. irrelevant.. camera angle was the least of my issues. I don’t even play the game it sucks
Run the highest hz on FFB. Your wheel can handle it. It don't rely on your GPU but the speed of your wheelbase. it MIGHT load the CPU but pretty sure it won't. My CSL DD is a 400hz for exaMPLE...so I run 400hz
i just tweaked my moza pithouse settings and it feels so good now, makes a whole world of difference having them set correctly for each game

Thank u i wanted to help him so bad but im controller lol so i didnt know the key binds 😭😭
Ctrl+Home button sets home, steering wheel idk
@blazejm83 do you only use controller? Must be hell navigating menus

tire choice has a good amount of effect on the grip

I use a 3080ti graphics card and 12700k cpu. I found that running in Vulkan gives me a bit more performance as well. I average around 120fps at 1440p
Do you play in 3rd person or 1st? The game is awful in first person and I don’t get playing with a wheel in 3rd person. T

My problem is making proper ffb settings in this game... i feel like either its to loose or to tight
I use 8nm
I would use 12nm if i could, with 12nm the wheel comes back soo smoothly

Wow, really a LUT helped????? Fellow R9 owner here
If you like 3rd person there is an enhanced chase camera mod that makes it much better
You can adjust the first person field of view, I think its in camera settings. I have mine turned to I think 60 or 70 degrees. But you can adjust to what looks best for you
drift tires are like drifing on ice, try some sport or standard tires, i find it you feel the car alot more while drifting

I have a 14th gen intel I7 and a 4080 Super msi suprim. It runs the game pretty good.
I would hope so
JBX 100 mod 🤫 basically a vanilla car
Try first person. Cockpit or hood view. I like the hood view. Especially if you know you know how to drift.
Yeah I did in my new video. Felt way better after I figured it out
How does the car respond to light LFB?
You have to use the hand break
Clutch-kick is king in Beam
beamng requires a good cpu, not too badly gpu dependant, my friend has good framerate with his 3070
It is lagging your CPU instead of GPU so that might be getting hit too hard.

You can change camera settings..
@@thetwitchywarlock I play first person.. why would I want to change that on a rig? What’s the point?
@@BEEFCAKEDRIFTS what? So you complain about the first person camera but won't change the settings for it?
