I think the most important lesson for driving on snow and ice is, plan ahead to manage your grip. You have a finite amount of grip. You can use 100% of your grip for braking, but when you want to start turning you have to back off the brakes or you will lose control. Ditto for accelerating. This is true on all surfaces, but is most obvious on snow and ice.
dirt driving in beamNG is great fun and great to learn car control. also, you have that extra bit of motivation to not mess up cause otherwise you end up wrapped around a tree....
Haha yeah 100%, I played rigs of rods before beamng and got it when it was first available - haven't played in a while though. Think you have inspired me to do a series on it soon!
@42Simulations newest update brought a new rally mode, it's so much fun. If it gets an online leader board and voiced codriver it's going to be one of the greatest rally games ever imo.
only thing i wonder when it comes to snow maps in assetto corsa is what car should i even choose? cause like i'd love to just use a miata but it's not that they come with winter tires in any of the relevant mods
The shopping trolley analogy is quite misleading and not the way one should think about it. Pushing or pulling doesn't matter because a car... well, it's not a shopping cart. What matters and what you're feeling is weight transfer. The reason why slamming the gas to stabilize the rear end works is because it's sending more weight to the rear tires and giving them more grip. The same happens in RWD cars and there you should always give it a bit of throttle to stabilize. The difference of course is that with FWD you can slam it, and with RWD if you give it far too much, it will go into a powerslide.
@@42Simulations Well not really. If you think of a car as a shopping cart, you will avoid adding throttle to straighten the car, but that's exactly what you should do.

DK Tsuchiya said that he got good at 4 wheel drifting because where he lived (Nagano prefecture) it usually snowed!! Thx for the tip hehe

Yeah it's difficult to find good cars, but to be honest I just choose random ones and have fun!
Change race type to FROZEN DRIVE so when in pits your car will automatically have SNOW TIRES STREET or SNOW TIRES RALLY per your choice
what map is this ? Looks awesome
Hey bud, yeah it's an awesome circuit, you can find it here! I'll put in description too :) www.vosan.co/tracks/bannochbrae-snow-version/

I know l, I'm just simplifying, the basic concept is true 😊

one mistake you made is subarus are awd, but otherwise good video!
Thats just nitpicking, most people dont know the difference between awd and 4wd and those who do, know that the car obviously is not a 4x4
Yes apologies! I use 4wd and awd interchangeably but i'm technically wrong :D. Thanks for the feedback though it means a lot :)
@42Simulations dw, still a great video, I love your editing!
