They sent the pages as 2 at a time, as in 1 Electronic page is 2 printed pages. Unfortunatly, this is better suited for real manuals, not electronic ones. If you print and use oppisite sides and fold, you can create a reilistic looking manual.

Acrobat will allow you to adjust how you view pages ten ways to sunday - you may have simply missed how to do this.

Swhale - after looking at the pdf - you're right, they were actually scanned / rendered as facing pages --> one page - now that's frustrating.

You can crop the pages for every other page and have two versions of the manual (very frustrating) - and only if you have the full version of acrobat.

Not a great way to make a manual guys!!!!

Music Man: This is the manual to print. It's not made for viewing it like that. And i'm good with this view.

My advice, ( like what skalez said ) print the manual out, then you can fold the pages and make it into a booklet like printed-out manual dingy.

I think you're missing the point Skalex and TheDude - The reason a PDF manual IS a good thing is because (a) it's indexed so you can hypertext over to a part you need to read or have a question about, and (b) with today's advanced video cards you can have FPS Creator on one screen and the manual on another (assuming you have two monitors) - this is EXACTLY what I have and do - but because the pages are side by side, you cannot zoom into them so easily without having to do a lot of side scrolling, which is horribly annoying.

Well, I haven't had anything shipped since the 3d gamemaker but from what I remember it doesn't take that long, and I was in Califonia!

A stapler perhaps? Or a hole-punch + ring-binder?

Depends where you live of course! Read the email we sent you when it was dispatched, it actually quotes the average delivery times.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.

From what I remember on the "upgrade for ea users" offer, wasn't Priority shipping, among other things, included? If so, Priority shipping is two day by air. Now, of course, if its shipped internationally, other crap applies, like tarrifs and oversea expenses - not exactly cheap and for $7.81 in total, I cannot see you guys LOSING money over this. I'm patient. I already downloaded my copy - the boxed version, which I purchased, I hope comes with a printed manual nice ring bound like my Dark Basic Pro manuals! I doubt I will re-install anyway after all the crap I had to go through to get FPS Creator to really work 100% (read my other perturbed post for that story). However, extra models or stuff I will definitely install if included.

richard davey, i accually wasnt asking how to physically stick them together. i was wondering how a place them, like, how to fold and organize them together, but, im not too worried anymore, i should be getting mine in the mail soon. I live in illinois, usa so how long would that be?

EDIT: Richard, i got the same exact e-mail that i did when i upgraded to V1 now, just a different subject, and the serial and username were bleeped out. no shiping info there
