    When I press right on my D-PAD, instead of the car quickly recovering the whole scenario seems to reload with a black screen.

    This takes a lot longer than the prevision version and removes all replay ability from scenario as it resets the car you choose even after you change it. You also have to click this annoying play button every single time!!

    So longer load times, annoying play button every time and can not change vehicle in scenarios. How is this a good thing? I know if you did not change at the start of the race it would reset your spawn point to where you changed vehicle but I don't think it was that much of an issue. It took me 30 seconds to realise I needed to always change at the start line of the scenario.

    Is there a way to go back to the old recovery spawning? Its faster and adds a lot more replay ability factor to the game since I could run tracks with cars I downloaded.

    Thanks for reading.

    Before the reset just quickly brought the vehicle to the start position, but didn't touch the rest of the scenario.
    Now that some scenarios has props and LUA script, if we still use the old method, restarting the scenario won't reset the props and the LUA scripts, which would cause issues.
    So, instead now, when you reset, the scenario gets 'quickly' reloaded to assure everything is resetted, not just your vehicle.

    About vehicle, You are not supposed to change vehicle in a scenario (Infact the hotkeys are disabled for that, yet the sidemenu still has the icon). But that's not a 'expected' thing.

    On the other side I agree about the play button, it's annoying. Perhaps a way to make it so that pressing any key on the controller would disengage it would be neat. Same for the 'speeding up' the scenario reset.

    Ok so I understand now why the devs did this. But it still seems a lot like 1 step forwards 2 steps back. It definitely takes away more than it adds.

    Do not look at this so dramatically.
    Without LUA in Scenarios, stuff like the police chase scenario or the broken truck one wouldn't have been possible. And this is just the start of LUA in scenarios.
    Also do not think that it will stay in this state forever. Something to speed up the whole reload process will be done probably.
