If I choose AS National (for example), drive around a bit, exit the game and then start it up again later the selected track is AS Cadet (or another track) and I have to pick my track again through the track selection screen.

I'd like it if LFS would remember the last track I drove and keep it selected for the next time I played (it remembers the last car I drove after all)...just a little thing, no biggie. But, as I tend to stick to certain tracks for a while, it would be convenient not to have to re-select the track every time :up:

ya.. how about we just have it so it doesnt load a track at the start.. that way we could have really fast start ups, rather than having to wait for it to load a track that.. we might not even use

That's also a good idea - for example GPL only loads a track once you decide to enter it, so the game's initial startup is quite quick. That's a good thing considering I have 50+ GPL tracks and some are gigantic...

I can't give a +1, but I can be smug ... what delay when loading?

the.. 60 second or so wait when you start it

Is it really that bad? It's only 3 seconds for me, I think i'll give a +1 just for sympathy, or loan you the cash for an upgrade.

I just couldn't stomach wasting my life on a busy pointer like that. LFS would be in the recycle bin if it took that long on my system !

Took me 28.08 sec to load LFS, select HL mode and be on the track ready to drive on the combo that was last chosen. Add time for selecting multiplayer, fetching the host list, changing the track & car + the lag @ connecting and downloading skins. Especially if I've been doing intensive stuff with my PC, it easily exceeds 1 min to be ready for anything.

But yeah, I'd like it to remember the last track I drove at

lol Becks. Do you do Paypal?

It's not the several-second wait that troubles me (everything takes a while on my old banger - plus I have dial-up - so I'm used to being patient), I just want the last track I hotlapped to still be selected the next time I start LFS. As I said, no biggie but it would be nice

ok.. not 60 seconds, but it does take quite some time; and it really makes no sense at all to load a track that you most likely wont use.. especially if your going to get online like most people do.. whats the use of waiting for something that.. you dont need at all

but then.. when you click single player, then it should load the track, not beforehand

I think its a hang up from when LFS used to (or does it still?) automatically play a replay when it started up; hence generating all the mapping and lighting details.

+1

If you choose an S2 track and then get LFS to lock itself into the demo form, next time you start it up, it will load uber fast, then you can worry about loading times when you enter a server (which you have to do everytime anyway, since the server you join is never for the same combo LFS just loaded...)

@XCNuse: I meant just for SP or hotlapping :up:
