    Sure beats having to return to garage to load the car up of someone who has just joined the server, like in other games.
    Especially if your halfway through your practise full race fuel and set up test.

    Yeah I remember my mate from my club 1st buying rF2... I had spent a while trying to convince him how great the sim is and helped him with his install etc. We hosted up a server.. He came online and the 1st thing we heard in Teamspeak was "WTF all the cars are lego bricks with wheels!!!" I p1ssed myself laughing.

    Seriously it would be better to have a decent render of something as a temporary skin till its loaded up properly but as it is it is better than ramming into a car you can't see on track cos its not loaded without you abandoning your stint in the session.

    I've not tested this so not sure if it's implemented, however in Multiplayer.ini is the following setting:

    Delay Vehicle Graphics="1" // if true, delay loading vehicle graphics when clients join in order to reduce the pause

    Setting this to zero might mean the full vehicle graphics get loaded for new clients, however it could also mean a big pause when new clients join and you're out on track.

    The current temporary vehicle looks extremely weird and is very distracting with the off-centered wheels flying around it, so any improvement would be much appreciated.
