Vauxhall Nova cockpit speedometer units (km/h on MPH scale?)

Product: EA SPORTS™ WRC
Platform:Steam-PC
Summarize your bug Vauxhall Nova speedometer seems to be showing km/h on a MPH scale.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use the respective car in cockpit view, compare cockpit speedometer to virtual one.
What happens when the bug occurs? The speedometer's hand is showing km/h on a MPH scale.
What do you expect to see? Matching units, in case it's a bug.

‌

The Vauxhall Nova present in game has a speedometer that tops at ~120-130, which seems a native imperial scale in MPH. But while driving, the hand seems to be showing the instant speed in km/h, so it always matches a virtual HUD that is set in metric.

Not sure if this is a bug, or this rally car had it changed from stock, but I'll just leave this observation here in case it's a small mistake in the cockpit's speedometer animation/lut.

Thanks

    Bug still exists as of 1.7.0. Dashboard speedometer of this UK model has units under a MPH scale, but the hand is actually showing instant speed in km/h.

    P.e, when driving at 100 km/h (as seen on virtual speedometer), the 3D cockpit dashboard hand will also show 100 instead of ~60 (MPH).

    I've encountered the same issue and noticed it particularly because I play on a 4K monitor, which might be harder to detect on an FHD display.

    To make it easier to verify, I've attached some screenshots that also support his report:

    Close-up screenshot:
    You can see the speedometer has two scales: the outer in MPH and the inner in KPH.

    Second screenshot:
    The virtual HUD shows 107 in KPH, while the speedometer in the vehicle indicates about 107 in MPH.

    These images clearly illustrate what his report describes.

    I understand that developers are grappling with complex specifications for different vehicles' speed units in a limited amount of time. It's no surprise such errors can happen.

    Thank you for your attention to this issue.

    Good catch, and thanks for reporting. I totally missed the inner km/h scale in FHD while driving, so it easily confirms this small animation bug.
