When you come out of an in-system and system jump... My speed indicator is... "too high".

Yes I have this as well, I came here to report it.

For me this is only happening after the recetny 1.07 upgrade. Windowx XP SP1.

It happens when you come out of a system to system jump. You come out of the "wormhole" at full speed but the speed says it's way too "high" as Stick says.

Lowering your speed and then increasing it again, will make it vanish. LOooks like a graphics bug, it doesnt affect your actual speed.

Hmmm... I almost forgot. Had the same thing last night. But it only seemed
to appear in a few sectors in the Eo system. Thought it might be associated
with particular sectors as it came and went as I moved between them. But it
seems to be wide-spread....

I've also noticed that every time I launch/warp/jump, my speed is going full. Or at least, it ignores whatever I've set my throttle to in Arcade.

this bug used to happen (bacc around 3.1.X) not sure if its related or not. I have it too again.

The Ship dosn't come out of a jump with speed set at zero anymore.. now its running about 62 k/s but with the indicator both filling and above the the speed indicator border (see sticks screenie).

I have the same display bug on Mac OS 10.2.8. Actual speed doesn't seem to be affected. I just tap 'w' and it goes away.

i noticed the exact same bug here (running VO on winxp), tried it on both my serco and itani alts, that bar appeared everytime when i got out of warp.
