So I've been playing RoR for about a year now and I've always wondered what this icon is when I'm driving, can some one help?

I believe this corresponds to wheel slippage/loss of traction.

I would have never of thought of that, Lol I thought it was clutch slippage! Thank you!

it may look that way because it appears when you use a lot of throttle, but no

This is indeed a "your engine is providing more power than the clutch can transfer to the drivetrain" aka "clutch is slipping" light

Proof: https://docs.rigsofrods.org/vehicle-creation/making-custom-hud/#input-sources engine_clutch_warning true if engine torque is greater than the clutch force, false if not

Ah, my mistake.

Indeed, now that you mention it, I remember that this indicator also appears in older versions of RoR under the name "clutch overload." But it has to be said that the new indicator isn't very representative. And I wonder if it's actually simulated in the game or if it's just for decoration?

I mean yeah because when you go up a hill loaded it should "slip" and rap out the engine, in theory
