Whenever a vehicle is entered, the vehicle speed is automatically at 0.3 with no movement. With takeoff speed roughly set around 0.5, it allows for nearly instant takeoff ability no matter what i set the vehicle's physics settings to.

Sorry, I don't quite umderstand about the default 0.3 speed thingo, the 0.5 takeoff speed is something I've noticed before, and tried to change - it's proved illusive so far. I'll add changing that to the todo list. You might be able to use drag to help with physics a bit?

Here's an example of what I was saying for clarification. I dont mind the takeoff speed being 0.5. My vehicle at rest still registes a speed of 0.3.

Ah, I see. I'll add it to the todo list. Thanks for reporting.

issue was fixed when speed switched over to blocks/ sec
