 Re: Gfx Pack
Would you please be able to upload a download for newspaper and banners and the big screen sponsor only as that is the bits I would like? And when installing should you save a copy of the original files just in case- and does the same installation process apply?

Ubar, Just download the full pack to your desktop, and then just drag the elements you want into your game - that's what I did.

It's always important to start resizing with a clean image, and also reset if it's not quite right, rather than resizing on top of an image already resized, as the pixel degradation will just leave you with mush. I find Ultimate Paint the best, but others may differ. The problem with the Frankel shot on the heath is that the image is pretty small to begin with, and trying to stretch the hell out of it doesn't end well. I've done the best I can, so if you go back and download the Frankel file again, the wide-screen folders are now included.
Ubar - The easiest thing would actually be to download the mini-pack, a post below the main post, open it, delete the stuff you don;t want, then just drop the rest it. There is far less to look through in that pack so it's easy to spot what you want removed.

I've been faffing about with the silks on the standard graphics, to make a flat only set. Don't expect anything like the level Thomas can rattle off, but they seem to be ok and do a job. I've replaced some of the jumping colours with the nine sets below, and have added sashes and epaulettes to those existing that needed them. The Shah colours are still a work in progress, the Aga and Highclere colours need tightening and then I'll need to sort out the little icons for them, but with a bit of luck, given what a pain in the arse they are to do, it'll be complete sometime tomorrow evening.          (Not sure if Harris has any horses anymore, since Swinburn gave up his licence, but I like the colours, so hey ho) Here is a brief example -  Edit :  A couple of the silks bleed with this blending software, as you can see from the leader above, and his blue reigns, so I need to redo a large part of the two sets in question, meaning a delay to Tuesday somepoint.

 Re: Gfx Pack
Silks look good DB. Even better with Thomas' graphics I should think.
