Anyone up to update at least the manual? It needs reshooting the screenshots in trunk/doc/userman/images (800x512 jpg) and updating the text where necessary.
It has 4 chapters, one chapter is I think only 1-2 hours to update. They are:
I want to drive! (5 pics)
Player's Control Configuration (9 pics)
General Configuration Options (13 pics)
Racing (16 pics)
I am starting with a new chapter describing the dashboard, as it made pitting less trivial. Then continue with the other chapters. Please drop a note here if you volunteer for a chapter to avoid double work.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Updated the text in r6375, added description for new items in menus and updated where it was necessary.
Someone better knowing graphics, please could add a few lines about "video modes detection" in "Display configuration", and about the various Sky dome options in "Graphics" (both are in chapter "General Configuration Options")?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Updated text in [r6377]. Display Options.
I don't know if this section is still relevant:
Advanced: Under Windows, you can also set the maximum screen refresh rate (Hz) during the game : if your real hardware screen refresh rate is 75 Hz, it's useless (no harm, only warm and noise ;-) to use a higher value as your CPU will work for nothing. Under Linux, use your video driver configuration tool and set the "Sync to VBlank" option to get the same effect.
Also, I could not figure out where the manual is installed (on Linux)

The dashboard chapter was committed in r6364 and r6365.
Next will be the Racing chapter.
I will do the first chapter.
Chapter 'Racing' is done in r6367-r6369.
Note for the jpegs: I convert the screenshots with GIMP, using 90% quality.
I updated the Chapter 1 graphics in r6371.
I updated the text and graphics. I am not sure what to put for Arcade and Semi-Rookie. Please correct them if I have it wrong.
