Dedicated Drift Button?

[Warlord SteelShroom]

So far I've been loving this game, but one slight thing has been bugging me lately... apparently boosting and drifting are bound to the same key, which makes the controls kinda awkward in that aspect. Does anyone know if it's possible to have separate buttons for them?

Not at the moment, but I hope we'll get it.

The original technique uses only the strafing inputs (hold both to drift, release the inside of a turn to slide, boost to hyper slide).

I would check your controller bindings, for me drifting is initiated via holding down both of my triggers to lose grip, and my boost is X.

I believe he's referring to if you enable the accessibility option to hold boost input for hyperslide, then both are bound to the same key. It's helpful as training wheels for people not familiar with the tech from GX (that and the tutorial doesn't teach you the normal method), but it does make it difficult to boost while drifting, so after using it for a short while I started working on just doing it the normal way.

Game is awesome so far, but an advanced tech tutorial (assuming one doesn't exist in the later career stages) would be a welcome addition for players not in the know. Until then, there's YouTube.
