The Start It modpack is basically a redesign of Starters Orders 5. Besides graphic changes, all trainers, jockeys, and most owners, are fully named and have images. As later releases happen, each country will have new schedules and more tracks. Hopefully this mod will revolutionize SO5. - mjtags11

**I got the pics in fall of last year so I am not sure who I got them from... We will find out once released and credit will be updated.

sounds amazing

Wow! Sounds really good. Feel free to use my UK and Irish jockeys and trainer pics that can be found in the mods section here, provided you credit the original creator that's just fine.

I'd think about renaming it though, "Start it" reads fine but "Star tit" is not so good!

sounds great i will defo use it .....look forward to it

I chaned the name (didn't see that error coming hahahah!!!)

And I'm using the pics I found last year on here. I think some of them were yours but I'm not sure (it's been sooo long haha). So when I release it we can work out who actually got the pics so proper credit can be given (I believe if was you for the uk and Irish... So I'll see if they match up.)

They're mine.

Looking forward to the release. Nearer the time, it'd be good to have a "sneak preview" of a couple of screen shots. Particularly the race day graphics based on ATR/other you have mentioned.

Sounds fantastic roll on July 1st.

Added in a progress log to the first message... Check it out to know how far the mod pack is coming along. Also suggest anything you would like to see in the mod pack and I'll see if I can add it in.

Like the update log. Cheers mate.

First Preview Pic is Up!! It shows the current At The Races Race Screen (not final).
The board is based of of Sirius Chill's cause I really like the way the lines were set up for each entrant.

Looking good. I'm already using Sirius Chill's grid for the race sequence too, I agree that it looks better, and is easier to track each horse during the race too.

Yeah I use Sirius Chill's grid as well.

Where can I find sirus grid you are talking about please?

It is a personal favorite of mine and I absolutely love it. Been using it for as long as I remember! Sirius Chill, if you are listening, Great Work!!!

Thanks everyone. It was my first attempt ever at doing anything of substance with paint. While trialing horses in the CK I noticed it needed one more space for a horse name on the left side graph. US game rarely gets races with more than twenty horses in it so I'm just noticing this now. I've fixed this and it's now available for download.

Destructions...

copy and paste "race" folder to Program files / Starters Orders 5 / GFX
