2.261 is Now Up! 75 new silks, giving almost all the flat owners their own silks. Some silks I could not find, but replaced them with US legends silks (cause why not). Enjoy! Download is available on the first post.

MJ great mod have everything installed and working the only thing now is i can't increase the horse pool becasue it says the schedule is locked and i don't have permission to make changes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

That is an easy fix. Copy and paste the file to your desktop, open the desktop one with notepad (or whatever program you use), and then you can change it. Once done, save and copy and paste back into the folder, making sure to overwrite the file. Its an error that you get when your folders are in read only. You can also right click on the Starters Orders 6 folder in the programs files folder and deselect read-only and apply to all. Might not work, but is a permanent fix if it does work.

MJ - Thanks for the tips on the batch exporting...worked fine and didn't take too long at all, especially considering the number of tracks. The crowds look great!

Thanks Mj it worked. Now its time to have some fun racing horses...

I am in the process of making a silk for every flat trainer in the game (well just about, those that use the same silk don't get their own). I have 360 silks made, and have up to 417 all planned out. I need 57 more silk ideas. Please post any silk ideas that you have and if I haven't already made it or didn't already have it planned, then I will add it. Please help me so that my job can be a lot easier. If you give me a real silk with an owner, please tell me who that owner is. Thanks for your help!

Here's a couple.



Swift Thoroughbreds. They buy a few Godolphin horses to race at Hastings.


North American Thoroughbreds company.

Big Northwest Owners.

Check out the new form found on Racenet http://www.racenet.com.au/gosford-raceclub-nsw/race-form/GOSF/070515

It's form for Australian racing and I am a big fan of it. There are many silk ideas to be had there. Here is a link for a race today at Gosford http://www.racenet.com.au/form/formguide.aspx?trackcode=GOSF&shortdate=070515&raceno=1&rn=1

You can search the form for any of the races being run in the next few days for silk ideas. Racenet does very good form and almost all of it is free. I love their product.

Thanks so much to the both of you!

if u get stuck u can have some of mine, I just got to remember who's they are. All real apart from 1.

Hey MJ fantastic job with this mod. Really brings extra realism to this game and a whole lot of fun.. Few things i noticed. There's one trainer who's jockeys seems to be missing a head. The silks are a dark green i can get his name later to make it easier. Also my Kentucky derby was with 20 horses which is perfect but i noticed a few of the top 3 year olds werent included. Curious how your Derby preps are set up. Lastly, im at the date of the preakness and I noticed theres only 14 horses. Im not positive but aren't there supposed to be 20 for the triple crown races. Overall I can't thank you enough for the hard work you've put in this.
Great Job!

Thanks for supporting my mod! Glad you like it!
I do know who it is that is missing a head. Will include in next silks update.
Triple Crown races vary in max fields. 20 for Derby, 14 for Preakness, and 12 for Belmont.
The Derby Preps are all the major points prep races. This doesn't guarantee that the winner will go for the Derby. There will always be some top 3yos out of the Derby. Just the way the prep system works.

Ok great. Thanks

MJ - Here's the latest on Hollywood Park (with demolition photos)...the grandstand is starting to come down. Very sad.

I saw that yesterday on Twitter and this morning on TVG. Very sad. I always hate to see racetracks go, and usually they just sit there not in use and decay... now this one is getting knocked down. So sad.
