Why FS2020 replay feature is not active on Xbox

Didn’t Mathias mentioned during the last Live Dev Q/A that it’s a limitation of the console hardware/memory

Martial mentioned here in the March 2023 Q&A (Developer Stream):

Martial - On Xbox, it would mean that you would replay the file on Xbox because you don’t have direct access to the data, to the hard drive once you’ve got your replay. And also, it’s taking lots of space on the hard drive. And it’s costing, also, a lot of memory. So, if you have a nice place with a nice plane that cost lots of memory, and then you trigger the capture, we’re going to have some issues. So, we did some technical choices here. The first one was to link the tool to the developer mode, as there is no such developer mode on Xbox for this reason. But we…like Jorg said, for the weather and terrain API, it’s also something that we keep in our mind. So, if we find a way to bring the features, we will.
