Ok, I forgot about the front wheels not turning... hardly a showstopper
though, is it?

doing a thorough disk check/defrag as I type.

Hadn't tried that. Thanks for the tip!

Ok, now I'm confused. IL-2 demo was "ok" on that very same HD. But that was
under Win98se, I'm now using XP Home sp2.

Yep... I have no explanation for why load times are the way they are over
here, but it's good to know mine is not a general problem.

That's it in the proverbial nutshell.

Oh shit that is funny...

that is like saying "I've had sex 15 times each year!  and never got
pregnant; admittedly, I'm a man.."

RBR doesn't get upset if you ctrl-alt-del and kill it from task menu.  
Loads up next time without any grumbles.

That's what I do when I want to shut it down in a hurry (and not, for
example, when I've just piled the Pug into another pile of logs, honest.)

Well spotted, TRD2 was OK but had many of the problems Cronk describes over
RBR, even after two patches and now Codies have put it to rest, there'll be
no more support for that I bet.

So who's going say that RBR is! I suspect we'll have to wait five years or
so and then answer that one, guesses anyone?

It's no gpl. Gimme a rwd mid-engined 400hp lightweight car, multiplayer,
a decent replay system for modding & the 'Ring and I'll think about it.

Other posters are claiming "1st time stage loading"-performances of over 15
to 20 times faster than mine. Hard disk performance has improved with regard
to the ATA100 standard my aging Seagate drive uses these past few years, but
not by that much.
