Re: banking crisis

Hi st

High banking is not properly supported by simuv2 (this is the default 
simulation engine of TORCS). If you have compiled from sources, you can 
give simuv3 a try, but beware, I do currently not maintain it (for in 
depth review I will bring all desired simuv3 changes into simuv2 
gradually, but this will not happen anytime soon).

When you have compiled simuv3 you can configure it as simulation engine 
in raceengine.xml.

Best regards

Bernhard
