When I download and try to open the printer friendly version of the manual it says "Adobe reader could not open Automation ED Guide PF because it is either not a supported file type or has been damaged". I am using the latest Adobe Reader 11.0.5.

Same for the normal version and the ZIP-file. Seems like the files are corrupted. The original files on my hard drive are fine though.

Will there be an update to the manual to cover the new aspects like suspension?

Look here what I posted 3 hours ago. :) A full guide will come after the Car Designer is feature complete and polished because I don't want to revise the full guide from front to back very often. So far the linked thread should do it suspension-wise. If you have any more in-depth questions feel free to ask!

OK, I understand about the manual, just that on my machine posts aren't very printer friendly.
I'll cut and paste it into word.

Hi! I'm new in the forums, and I'd like to know why I can't download that link?

BTW is there a presentation topic? Couldn't find it :/

Hey, welcome to the forums!

If you want to download the Engine Designer Manual, go to your User Control Panel and click the Automation tab. There should be a few important downloads, including the Engine Designer Manual. If you're talking about the suspension guide, that isn't a download, it's just a thread which you can read.

Hi, welcome to the forums!

The engine designer guide can be found here.

There is no downloadable suspension guide, but there is a post about it, that you seem to have found yourself.

Edit: Always one step ahead, pleb.

Oh wow I didn't except 2 very quick answers!

Well I'm following Automation since December 2013, and decided to enter the forums just a few mins ago.

Anyway, under the Automation tab, there's written : No downloads available.

That's why I asked my question :)

Hmm... that is probably because you have not yet purchased the game.

Try this.

Hmmm I was afraid it was because I didn't buy the game. In fact it seems that it is the reason. Oh well the demo isn't even working on my computer because it's so old and crappy...
I should have a new computer soon though.

Your file just says : Invalid file.

Well it's not a big problem.


Thanks for your help guys!
