I dont think there is a manual! Thats hurting for sure. The only config file is interesting. I see a CmdLine: that could be a way to remember settings. The menus are from hell. A dyslexic fruitcake authored them for sure.
Not remembering my settings/choices is a royal pain in the butt. I have yet to play with setups. I want too but get sick of manually setting them. If I wanted to get faster I have to play with suspension, gears etc. But to have to go through six levels of menus with thumps and whiz bangs each time, I just cant.
Try push stick for throttle and use the JStick throttle lever for rider lean.
I am runningthe game 800x600 no antialising because my comp is soo lame. However, I get good frame rates and, it looks good up close to the windscreen.
I have internet 15(fast) so I can host with pretty smooth gameplay. The faster the host the better off everyone is. SBK 2001 was virtually unplayable online with more than 2 players. Now, at least, we can have 5-6 with reasonable smoothness.
This guy isnt very smooth but he is. at least, using the manual cockpit.
