Two questions for anyone with the requisite knowledge: 1) If I wanted to change the percentage of foreign horses in the horse pool from say 15 to 20 I would modify the [fpoolperc]15 to read [fpoolperc]20 in the _sched_f-Start It.db, correct? 2) What would I achieve if I modified [secondary_nat] to reflect [secondary_nat]can? in otherwords, what does making Canada a secondary nationality get me?

Thanks in advance for anyone who can weigh-in!

I have a question. It seems to me that there are way more courses than can be used. Example: Im doing a North America game, even put my stable in Canada but I only ever get Woodbine showing up in the schedule. None of the other Canadian tracks ever seem to come up.

Just a couple of questions, and I am sorry but there are 102 pages here so...
1. Can you use this and still do the online racing league?
2. Is this save game compatible and you can install it at the beginning of a season, or do you have to start a new game?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

I'm having the same issue as Vyrago, I put my Start It as directed but I also only get 2 race courses in the US which seems odd? So I don't think the mod is working for me but then I realized I have the steam one installed. Do I need to have the non-steam one installed in order for this mod to work properly?


Edit: It works, I just messed up where I was placing the new courses. It works for steam, thanks!

Hi all, thank you for the amazing mods, where can i see the start it patch notes just so i can see what they add? i have .1 and wondered what the others add

Hello

I love your game, just added your Start it Mod , real new at doing this stuff. I believe it worked. I have a few questions though , I hope someone will be able to answer.

1. The UK racing doesn’t match the Irish racing example is the purses do not match Ireland’s is more up to date, and the UK racing and not too many South African options as the July handicap is missing.

2. On the Irish game there are no USA horses as all foreign horses raced in the Kentucky Derby and all of the breeder cup races, it says 0 for North America , New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. Not sure if that is correct. If I play UK the United States has horses, the only ones that do not have horses is NZ, Singapore, Spain and SA. Be cool if Brazil was in it lol

3. The purse money is lower on the UK side than the Irish side.

I appreciate any feedback thank you

Hi I’ve tried to install the mod and it shows up on the menu when starting a new game but no new course's show neither does any new races it showes it downloaded but nothing new showing

I followed the instruction to install the mod. The mod options I have when starting a game are 3D, gfx and db have no idea what I'm doing wrong but can't seem to get the mod into the game.

Any help would be appreciated!

You still around MJ? It's been some years! I'm getting back into the game and it's sadly dead here, did people move to a discord server or something?

Btw, Meadowlands on your mod is broken, trying to view a race there results in a crash; I'm assuming I didn't do anything wrong since all the other tracks work fine.

Haven't been on here at all in years... but have recently got the itch again with Starters Orders 8 coming out (hopefully this year).

Have started work on a new 2025 US/CAN Schedule, Trainers, Jockeys, and Owners Update. Will likely work on some international stuff, but looks to see that has been covered extremely well since I've been gone.
Am going to look at updating all my courses to solve for renovations and such that have been done - and add some new entities now that I know how to do that.
Currently working on an updated Churchill Downs which will have all of the current and upcoming renovations incorporated into it. Will also be updating Belmont Park next to have its series of renovations. I do want to then take a look at Oaklawn, Gulfstream Park, Fair Grounds, Santa Anita, and Turfway Park as well, as each of those are in need of some fixing up.
Finally, will be building the new version of Start It from the ground up for Starters Orders 8 - which should fix several of the issues that SO7 had.

Anyway, happy to be back. Hopefully for a long time once again

MJ,

Same here, not been back in years but you are an absolute gem with your mods.

And all those who put the work in.

Many thanks!
