to a low, flat elevation Could you elaborate on what you mean by this? That is only to aid in the process of distinguishing and selecting the "masked out" verts in the APCD to be deleted. I have learned that you can select all the verts below the terrain plot by positioning the perspectiv...

Kiawah_Island.jpg I did this DEM import a while ago to test an idea. It is always a trade off of how much course plot area to cover and how many verts to use. By decreasing the coverage area more verts can be used for the actual golf course and not the surrounding terrain. One of the advanced techn...

I got a head start on this course request and gave Sage the DEM import files. I managed to fit both the Dye Stadium course and the Nicklaus Tournament course on the same 3m DEM plot.

Good news, I can get the files to do a DEM of all 5 courses. Some are more recent than others. Gozzer Ranch - 2019 Spring Hill Golf Club - 2012 from old USGS FTP site TPC Sugarloaf - 2019 Pelican Hill Ocean North - 2012 from old USGS FTP site Kirtland Country Club - 2019 My vote is Gozzer Ranch.

I should have some time available this January so I'll get the tutorial done. To me it seems like the hi-res DEM import was the missing piece when building real courses in the APCD and I am happy to help.

I started to write the tutorial for hi-res DEM imports but I set it aside in favour of working in the APCD on courses I want to see finished. I have been able to keep up with any course requests designers have made and haven't had any requests for a while now so I wasn't sure if there was much inter...

It's great to see you back Sage. Wishing you all the best!

I never could get voodoo to work smoothly with Links. Voodoo works like magic for other older games but not with me and Links. I vaguely remember installing DirectX 9 or activating it under Add Features to get Links to work on my Win 10 desktop.

Interesting.

Thanks for sharing that topic Adelade. I did not realize that path mapping could be pushed to that extent over the "middle geometry". I'll have to retry what I attempted to do a while back.

Great news Glenn!

I am always worried about when the day will come that Links and the APCD are broken by software or hardware changes. At least this news will keep me inspired to keep going.
