    Hello BeamNG Devs and community members
    I'm going to rip of the bandaid and get straight to the point
    RPL files are way to large for what they are
    I get it you need to plot out and record EVERYTHING
    but all i ask for as a community member is for them to be compressed in a way or the arability to delete them from within the game its self
    i had over 25 GB of replay files because of various things such as bad shots or whatever it might be
    so please add compression to the RPL files

    Thanks :D

    Don't care if this is a bump. The replays take up what seems like 5 times the size they usually did with just one car on a map. This was never that big of a problem until this update. And I never had to enable that useless lossy compression setting even in 0.34, but now it seems like I'm forced to. A replay wouldn't reach 1GB with just one car unless it was either 10 minutes or had traffic vehicles spawned in. Now it does with a 3 minute replay.

    So at this point, now it doesn't even have a cause that could be isolated. I load up the game and record a 3 minute replay and it is 150mb like it should be. I turn off the game, load back into it with the same vehicle and map. Record another 3 minute replay and it ends up being 1GB. At this point, whichever interns keep screwing up this game with each passing update are doing an amazing job at it.

    Haven't played this **** game since the downgrade. Hopefully they're able to fix it in the next. If not, it's time to say goodbye to this game, and all others, forever.
