Post Time to buy?
Just wondered if the game is working well enough to purchase now for someone like me??

ie. Someone who doesn't have the time/inclination any more to edit colours, schedules etc?

Can I play the UK flat game with a full schedule "straight from the box" so to speak?

The reason I ask is I've spent countless hours in the past sorting out jockey pics, schedules etc etc and I just cant do it anymore!! :D

Much appreciated in advance
Thanks

The names are wrong but there is a download Ubar has done with portraits and correct names
The default schedule is a bit skinny on overseas races but again there are add ons available

Oh dear :(

A damning verdict!!

I must admit I am not that bothered by the new graphics.

I just want a realistic decent flat schedule with decent trainer AI with regards horse placement.

I have no problems at all.
Using only the new jockey pics mod and the UK schedule and everything works on my laptop.
It would be nice when there are some improvements to breeding etc. after the BETA but SO6 is absolutely playable!
Nice work Mark!

Got it now. On first glance default still not great. Half the Breeders Cup still missing is disappointing!! I'm guessing the schedule editor is not available yet? Which means I HAVE to download a schedule?

Thanks

downloaded winrar. thanks

do I copy and paste individual folders or all at once?

(ie, can I just grab the "data" folder and replace or do I need to do each file seperately?)

Thanks
