Post 30 New Courses Added to US (Portraits Now Available)
30 courses (thoroughbred and harness tracks) have been added into the game. Some famous names are Indiana Downs, Marquis Downs, Penn National, Dover Downs, Mohawk, Pocono Downs, and Yonkers, among others. You will need to start a new game in order for these to take place. Just copy and paste wp files in wp folder and race/tracks 2 pics in the same folder in the real game. ENJOY!!!

**Warning: I did not edit wp files to create unique tracks**

In the _courses.dat file there is a section entitled "___Dual Courses___" Those tracks under there are dual courses (in the case of US there is dirt and turf, not just dirt; unlike UK, Ire, and Aus who have turf as primary then dirt added for dual).

although you need to start a new game to play with these tracks :( you can still use your other schedules as it does not add in any feature races yet (although I will be working on adding some in the future). All you need to do is copy and past the tracks into your couses file (just make sure courses in my file above the dual course break are with the ones above the break in the game file and the ones below are with the ones below in the game file... I can see how that can be a little confusing)... For some reason, the first month does not have any of the new courses holding any races like maidens or allowances and stuff but in February and march, you start seeing the courses. All the other courses will remain in the game so don't worry!!! Enjoy :D !!!!

Tried playing a US schedule using the mods here with the courses.dat but it crashes back to desktop, but, when I input the courses.dat file that came with SO5 it works fine, it's just the courses.dat file that is available on here in the download package, not sure what I can do?

Check the courses data file- from what it seems like on here the data file only contains the new courses, but not having downloaded it my self I couldn't be sure.

You are correct, it only contains the new courses. You need to copy and past the top section into the top of the SO5 course file and the bottom into the bottom half of the course file. I can't put a courses file on Dropbox with the old and new since my file is missing Fort Erie (it kept crashing my game). Any further questions don't be afraid to ask.

I might be sounding stupid here but how do you copy the top section into the top of the SO5 course.dat file and the bottom section into the bottom of the SO5 course.dat file?
I copy and pasted it ALL in...after all isn't that the same conclusion as above. :)

If you notice, there is a break called _______Dual Courses______. Above that line is that top and below is bottom. If you don't copy and paste the right sections to where they should go, then they won't work.

Why doesn't someone who's got it working upload the fully finished file- it would make it all a lot easier.

Totally agree with you mate, I just thought that once you copied and pasted all that they would automatically go into they designated places :roll:
