After a very long upload to mediafire, I finally have the download links. Both links are available on the first post. The first link is all of the Data and GFX, the second is all of the 3D Courses files (separated to speed up download, hopefully). Even if you already have the original data files from the pre .914 download, I recommend downloading the new data as both Ruidoso and Pleasanton are added in, along with their stakes races and dirt Woodbine races.

If you come across any bugs, just tell me.

Great work to get this updated so quickly, MJ... oh, and happy birthday!

Thanks Panther!!

Thanks atigger!!

All the best.

Sorry to bother you on your birthday but is Saratoga OK in your game?

I believe so! Worked alright on my end.

happy birthday MJ

downloading your hard work - big thanks matey

Happy Birthday buddy

Happy birthday!

One question: Do I still need to install Start It 2.10 & 2.2 before applying the post 014 patches?

Thanks for all your amazing work.

Did you do any lights for the 'night' tracks? Didn't see the floodlights designation in the courses file. Is there a problem with placing lights in the editor or something? Just curious.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! My Starters Orders Family rocks!!!

Dolphin, you can download the mod whenever, but need to install it after the patch as the patch will override the data.

Sirius, lights are added to tracks that host night racing. Most US tracks don't have lighting for night racing (like Santa Anita and Churchill Downs, and having to bring in temporary lighting for Breeders Cup). Tracks like Delta, Meadowlands, Los Al, Mountaineer, Charles Town, and Evangeline will. However, I know my game since the beginning (even before modded courses) night racing didn't work. This bug, from what I can tell, has yet to be fixed. I believe it's just on my end. But yes, most courses won't have night lighting since they don't have it in real life, but those who have night lighting in real life will have lighting.

You're saying you've added the lights and they don't work? The lights at Meydan/Dubai work in game. It shows a folder in the 3D course folder called 'lightmaps' and the courses spec has the designation 'floodlights'. Mark touches very briefly on it in the guide. Apologies if you know this already.

Hi MJ--

After the patch, will I need to reinstall Start it 2.10, 2.20 and then the post 0914 or do I just need the 2.22 version post patch? Sorry if I'm not being clear.

Jag, Just both post914 2.201 zips.


Sirius, it's just the US game. And it's with all the courses, not just with the ones I made.

Just an update on 2.21:
Just finished up Turf Paradise and the desert track really adds something different to watching the races. Looks pretty cool seeing sand all around!


I am currently working on Parx Racing. Due to the World Cup Final (GO GERMANY!!!) today, I will only be working on one course today. However, I expect this pack of courses to be finished by Friday (probably sooner). Also included in the pack will be my TVG skin. As for 2.22, I will be including a Racing UK skin and in 2.23 an At The Races skin. Other skins I may work on are HRTV, ESPN, NBC, Sky Racing, and a few others.
