    In 0.35, if I set power settings to 'power save' from Windows control panel, I get 2200Mhz for my CPU while playing this game.

    In 0.36 and in 0.37 game ignores the setting and runs game at maximum CPU frequency, I have set option Force high performance plan to off.

    It would be more interesting to me if game would respect my Windows power setting as for most of the time 2200Mhz is enough for me to play this game.

    In Farming Simulator game I can observe game respecting Windows power setting and I can save some electricity with lower graphics on days when electricity is more expensive, for BeamNG I'm playing mostly version 0.35 on such days.

    Also I have bought game from Steam as well as Humble Bundle, with Humble Bundle it is nice as I can have .zip version of older game if new one comes with some challenges I have not prepared to handle.

    Okay, it is fairly small issue, maybe even design choice, but for me it would be more interesting if games would generally respect Windows power settings.
