Bug

[meritone]

The drifting does not work when I play using my xb360 pad. It looks like it starts drifting for a moment then it stops drifting and goes into a normal, bad turn. Playing on keyboard the drifting works just like it does on the mobile version, it drifts for as long as your car is turning.

I second this.
Drifting on my gamepad only works for a short moment. I'm using a Logitech F310, recognized as an xb360.

Me as well, with my generic controller (CHina brand lul). The drifting suddenly cancel out with controller. But keyboard smooth as sailing.

With GamePad controllers the drift button is mapped to the same button as the brake (left trigger). The idea is that while you're turning, keep holding down the accelerator and just tap the brake (drift button) to initiate the drift. To maintain the drift just keep accelerating and steering. If you stop steering or stop accelerating the drift will end.

Don't you have a plan to mapping special handbrake feature to Right Shoulder Button or to X Button ?
Many Kart game have this feature to trigger drifting.

Hi py,

Yes, controller/keyboard mapping is coming in a future update. I was explaining how it works right now. And yes, I agree that it feels pretty good on the shoulder buttons.

By the way, what are your thoughts on having one shoulder button be drift and the other be a look-back camera button? It will all be configurable of course.

Yes, we're quite aware, how it's supposed to work.
But with the above mentioned controllers that's not how it works out.
What we experience is: The drift starts ok, but does not continue to drift, while still steering and accelerating. It only drifts for the first 0.1s and then falls over into non-drift bad cornering.

So what I have to do for one full curve (keeping the accelerator down at all times) is: I have to hit the brake 6 to 7 times in a row to get it back to drift again and again and again.

Note: this does not happen on the keyboard, where everything is as it should be ...normal drifting with only one "W" hit, while in the curve and still steering.

Yes please add look-back camera button in future update

That is what I am doing with game pad and it does not work, as I have already described above.

drifting doesn't work on my gamepad either. it just drifts once and stop even though i was turning the whole time.

Thanks for the follow-up on this. We will investigate next week before the next update.

This issue will be resolved in the next build, scheduled for Friday March 6.

Wonderful, thank you for the active communication. This is key to having a successful early access.

Just tried the new build and drifting with xb360 pad works now, thank you. I also really like having a gamemode to play through all tracks at once, that was a good addition.
