Driving Lessons anyone?

[Pythagoras]

I should tape how I am driving (lol). I can not manage to never crash in less than a minute, even on auto.
Or, is it one reason to not use the keyboard? Meaning driving with a controller may be much easier, no? Still, wish to hear some tips for the kb if possible, or direct me to a guide.
Thanks

Use WASD to accelerate, steer and brake.
Drive accordingly :D

What exactly makes driving hard for you?
Personally, i don't have auto driving activated, so i don't know how this changes things, but i don't have any issues with it.

I had good luck with autodrive (or letting companions drive while I shoot...)
The vehicle definitely makes a difference, some are hard to control. The quad actually seems to handle a lot better than it did in earlier FC games, and the bike with sidecar also was easy to drive. Those monstrosities the enemy uses were terrible to drive.

Using a controller, with the game set up to use the left analog stick for all steering and acceleration, is IMO superior.

No longer is it "MAXIMUM FORWARD SPEED" or "STOP!!". Now, I can crawl a vehicle forward, or turn slowly, if I need to be precise (landing a helicopter in a very narrow space between trees, for example).

I guess you are used to controllers? Driving with kb in any game require more practice, cause it's not the best option for it. For example, while you have precise acceleration with a stick, for keyboard is best to occasionally click W, and often reduce with S (breaks). Doing drifts is only necessary for speed challenges, and that is more tricky than using controllers, cause you hold it for a fraction of seconds. In this game is space, since shift activate auto-drive.

I unlocked the Blueprint Buggy and rejoiced in it's superior speed.
Learning the Handbrake 360 is the way forward. Holding W + A or D + Space. Release Space when you are facing the direction you want to go. In fact holding Space whilst turning is a common thing for me to do when in tight spots with the Highwaymen.

Yeah, trying with keyboard and butterfingers...
Thanks, great community.

In short, driving with...
controllers is about finding the sweet spot and hold on it.
keyboard is clicking when necessary.

Friend if mine said that the vehicles in this game drive more realisticly than most games he knows.

I can't confirm that because I don't have a car :(

[Yxklyx]

You've gotta have a light touch on the keyboard when driving. Relax.

[Mr. Fibble]

Maybe not more realistic but certainly better behaved vehicles than other ubi titles like wildlands where tractors have more bounce than tigger on a bungee cord.

Trick to KB steering is to make small adjustments and tickle the controls. Being too heavy handed will end up with the vehicle wrapped around a tree.

I just also discovered how to properly apply the automatic driving which makes the game 100 thousands times more fun for me personally (because of my butterfingers). In case its confusing, what I do:

-You need to get in the vehicle (maybe not necesary but I always do).
-Then open the map and Right-Click with mouse to set a destination (maybe is enough if destination is set before getting in vehicle but that does not work for me).
-If its done properly, you will see a Blue "marker" with arrows over the road. Its a wide ribbon almost as big as the road. If you see that then you are set.
-I press W to start going and Shift to start the auto to follow the blue "road". The vehicle goes all by itself to the marker.
-You can actually mark destinations miles apart and unless you get shot or have some other weird thing (I had a deer under my tires rotating for 10 minutes), the vehicle goes by itself following that magic blue road.

Ok, maybe I am not the best to describe and someone else can make a better guide, But I do recommend adding it into the Guides for the game. That was one of the most annoying things for me in the past and in other far crys... Now Its real fun
