Crouching Beast is nearing completion now. :thumbup:
Just a few seam blends to add, and maybe a few texture tweaks and then it's done. Unfortunately I can't make all the planting changes I wanted to, because the course file is corrupted and certain alterations are impossible because of this. The designer knew of this problem.... shapes for planting are there in APCD, but there is no planting because of this issue! It's still pretty good now though, so hopefully people will understand that APCD has issues and some things are not possible to correct. :rant:

Now that Crouching Beast is finished and The Bluffs at Ocean Point is well under way, I've chosen the next course to update - Country Club North. Probably not a particularly interesting or challenging course for players, but I like the planting on this one, so I'm doing it anyway! :tongue:

:yes:
Yes, one of my early favs from Links 2001! (Mike Schmidt, I believe, was the designer
and if I'm not mistaken, his only design?)
Thanks Lez!

Hey Lez...is Firestone North a course that could possibly get updated at some point? :thumbup:

Real courses are less likely to be updated by me because they don't leave me the same freedom to change the things that I don't like. Also, Links players are far more demanding of real courses and simply updating an old course with all its inaccuracies will likely just attract criticism and requests for changes after they are released. I want to enjoy working with APCD and real courses are just too demanding. APCD work is hard enough without the possibility of attracting negative comments from the 'Links course police' at the end of it! That said, I'm not completely ruling out the possibility of some real course updates in the future and I'll definitely take a look at this one.

I completely aggreed with you Lez, creating a real course with APCD is a real challenge :scared: each players will have his own view of the course... The work you will produce to create it will never have the gratitude wanted, but that's life... Personnally I'm not a big fan of updated course, I prefer a course created from A to Z... :cheers1:

Thanks for keeping the door slightly ajar, Lez :thumbup:
