It seems overly complicated to start a budgeted custom game start:
- Load a saved game
- Save that game
- Exit to the Start Menu
- New Game
- Custom Game Editor (Budgeted)
Not only is that too many "hidden" steps (I had to do an internet search to figure this out) but it takes a very long time. Loading and saving an X4 game takes a long time, even on an SSD.
Here's a radically different approach:
- New Game
- Custom Game Editor (Budgeted)
- Select a saved game from a drop down (combobox) control
This saved game needs to be within a save game slot? Fine, add a second drop down control.
