Track file autosave eats storage space

[sirrah]

I know this is is not really a bug and perhaps more of a wish, but I want someone from ED to actually read this before it gets swallowed by the dozen unfeasible wishes each day...

 

 

Occasionally I do some online flying. Not often, but if I do, it's usually one long session.

This week @BIGNEWYpointed me to the MP track files folder. I never payed attention to this folder before and wasn't even aware of its existence.

It contained over 7GB of track files 

 

Wouldn't it make more sense to provide the player with the option to save a track file, instead of doing so automatically? (just like in SP)

 

 

(I hope this question reaches the dev team, before it gets moved to the wishlist bin )

add 

disable_write_track = true 

to your autoexec.cfg 

 

or just get into the habit of clearing our your track files weekly

Ok thanks, that helps me. But what about all those other DCS users who don't know about this? Surely I'm not the only one that didn't know this folder is secretly eating up disk space

 

Wouldn't it make much more sense to ask people if they want to save the track file, instead of doing so automatically?

And for those that want it to happen automatically; they can alter their .cfg file.
