Guys,

If I run Links Extender on the course and save it, should the course then load in Links or is more necessary?

It gets stuck at 20% loaded.

Hey dwg,
What I did was save it in Links Extender V2. Then open it in APCD and do a Validate/save. Then open in it in the game.

That works for me................

Thanks Sage, thought I must have left something out.

Mind you I can get APCD to load the original file, but after saving a copy with Links Extender and trying to load it APCD hangs.

I think APCD knows my opinion of the software :)

No drama I was just doing it as a test to see how it all worked.

dwg, I think everyone's comp is different in certain ways that makes standard stuff and everything else in APCD and Links 2003 act differently.

I decided to try it on my Windows desktop, Same problem it gets to "Loading Triangle" being displayed in the status bar and there it just sits.

In Links Extender I assume you are just loading the file then immediately saving it to another name. That is all I did. I change the version number to 0.1

Out of interest I tried loading this saved file into Links Extender again, should not be a problem it has created it, nope says it is a locked file and asks for the password

I'm curious as to what is going on.
