Ok, so went a little wild and added the canadian triple crown too, along with international day. Full Meydan festival, and I've skipped through 2 season and field sizes seem to be holding up very well in every country.....10+. |

We have the FULL Dubai carnival, and a couple of the extra Meydan meetings that lead to the carnival. That runs November - April, and field sizes are holding up at 10-14 runners in every race. God knows how, but they are. |

Nice work nathd88. Are you going to develop it as a global schedule? I have been concentrating on the UK flat and jumps for 2018. I have anticipated that the calendar will be based on 2019, bear in mind. On your Middle East schedule, there are good supporting races at Abu Dhabi... built a course for that a couple of years ago. I reached out to simpleminds and mjtags on collaborating to build a single schedule where we concentrate on certain countries. Would you be interested in joining this effort? |

Hey mate. It looks to be heading that way I'd say. I'm not going to release it until it's absolutely perfect, getting there. I've chosen 2017s results just so I can sweep through racing post day by day and collect the needed data |

I would love to get involved bud, for sure. I enjoy modding the files more than I do playing the game lol Its an enjoyable hobby! Keep me in the loop anyway, I'm still relatively new to this, at least compared with you guys, but picking it all up now. |

PROGRESS UPDATE. Working on getting all the preps done now. So far, its working out really well. I've made Royal Ascot have that truly International feel to it by making some of the Japanese, Australian, and American sprints and Miles races preps for the Kings Stand, Diamond Jubilee, and Queen Anne. Even though they're not exactly preps in the real world, in this game world it works to draw the forein horses in to Royal Ascot, so I'm ok with tweaking the info for that reward. Same goes for All Weather finals day. I noticed in some peoples past scheds, that they made the finals day races Listed races to draw in better quality horses, but by sorting out all of the preps, they are now getting 100-118 rated horses entered as Conditions races based off of that. In this case the real world preps sufficed, such as the winter derby, hever, ect - https://ibb.co/j9Kw8c . I'll also be getting the French preps in to this, seeing as France have taken a liking to coming over and kicking our asses on finals day. In my first round of testing the Japanese winner of the Takamatsunomiya Kinen actually went on to win the Diamond Jubilee, so some healthy competition for sure. It's defo a stacked card, but there is room to fill it out even more. Something I'll do at the end! I have options on what to add and what not to add for that 3rd meeting on some of the days I only have one or two meetings currently. |

Hi, how are you finding the international races fields, in terms of whether they are filled with horses solely from the home countries? Especially in the maidens? |

| Post subject: | Re: Real Life Accurate 2017 Sched |
They're all filling up nicely, but outside of G/L company, it is mostly home country horses, which I'm fine with. That's pretty much true to real life since horses are rarely flown out to contest a maiden away from home. I think I will fine tune things a bit more to get some forein horses traveling around for Handicaps and Conditions races though. I'll do that by tweaking the "Preps" again, and adding a bit more fiction to the game. I.e, I'll make some of the Wolves, Ling, Kemp, Newc, Chelms handicaps preps for Dundalk and Meydan Handicaps, and vice versa. I may also create some 100% fictional higher class trials at Southwell for the dirt in America. |

I'm just praying that after all this attention to detail this won't just be another one of those scheds that starts to crash after 10 or so seasons. If it does, there'll be no way around that, because I've made damn sure everything is spot on. I'll be advising people turn off save replays at the start of games. |

I have made similar schedules, and i have found that there are seasons where most maidens from international countries are filled with uk horses, which is what stops me playing it, because it leads to uk horses having form where they have ran in a japanese maiden or something, which is obviously very unrealistic, so if you can create it so maidens and low class races are filled with just home coutry horses id be seriously interested in seeing it! Two year old races are where i have seen the biggest problem with this. |

Afraid not right now bud, as I am still getting some data put in, and I am also waiting on response from a couple of other modders about track info I need to correct. I want this to be perfect for everyone, so bit more time needed. |
