Showing the tyre speed while braking
Would it be better if the speedometer shows the real speed while braking.When the tyres are locked the speedometer shows 0 km/h.

In the Customize UI menu there's a speedometer you can choose labelled 'Airspeed' which will show the true value.

No. The way it works now is realistic. When the tires / wheels stop revolving, the speedometer goes to zero. The name of the game is realism - wherever possible! :steamhappy:

If you are locking your wheels, the reported speed is zero, as none of them is spinning.
The readings will also be higher if your tires are skidding for example.
That's perfectly normal, as speed sensors are on the wheels.

As mentioned above, you can choose to have the 'Airspeed' app that shows the absolute speed not based on the wheel sensors

Thanks for the answers.But I still think they don't work properly.I tried something else today.I pulled my cars hand brake and I pushed the gas.It was a front wheel drive vehicle.I put the gear to second and the rpm was maxed out while the tyres are spinning.I was maybe going with 10 km/h but speedometer was showing 35 km/h. If it shows the tyre speed it should be at least 80 km/h because this is the speed at 2nd gears end.

Please post a video showing what you are doing.
You can use Youtube or similar and post here the link.

think you're just confusing the looks of what speed you think should look like compared to ingame sensor speeds. the game isnt going to give real hand looking scenario for a car going 200mph etc, an f1 car mod i had ends up flying into the air after about 195+mph on my game, doesnt mean it will happen in real life exactly.

seems to be a thing for some people within car/racing games that the game doesnt feel truthful when displaying speeds or how fast everything around them moves or distortes past. some games are bad at implementing stuff and some arent but cant say its really a problem in beamng its pretty nailed down for the game it is tbh. well the best your gunna get for now.

Maybe you were slipping the clutch from the amount of torque? What vehicle was it?

It was a custom Ibishu Covet.There is nothing about clutch.So many things works fine in the game.This is nothing important but I wanted to say that the speedometer doesnt always show the right speed of tyres or the vehicle itself.
