JN6 Group Design

To help clarify the Scottish panos, Scottish 1 is the one I used in Northumbria. I am not aware of any course that has used Scottish 2. I loaded Scottish 2 into the design program to take a look. The following links are to Scottish 1 (Northumbria), and Scottish 2 (in a test tract).

Scottish 2 (Test tract)

I like the look of Scottish 2, but in the game you can see that the bushes added to the foreground of the Horizon are massively too large for the in-game perspective. Because they are on the horizon, but appear to be only about 100 yards or less away, they will dwarf any structure, like a clubhouse or even trees, that are placed in the distance.

Here are some additional "in-game" views of the DW horizons I have used (in addition to the one already posted for Northumbria).

Royal Harbour (a/k/a Seascape)

Wildwood Dunes (a/k/a Seaside Town)

Kilcairn Bay (a/k/a Loch)

I like Loch (Kilcairn Bay) best for a British links course, but Seascape (Royal Harbour) runs a close second (although it seems more Australian to me; nothing wrong with that, I set Royal Harbour in Australia). I also really like Northumbria (Scottish 1), but I would prefer to build a course next to the sea.

But I think there are a lot of good choices here, and I won't have any problem if folks prefer something else.

[Charlie]

As for Seascape 2, I don't have any files for this that are ready for installation in the game, only a full horizon in a single Targa file. This horizon should be pretty easy (famous last words) to cut up and convert to JN6 .pcx format in 21 panels, but it will take a little time. If there is strong interest in using this one, let me know and I will take a shot at creating the necessary files. I can then load it into the design program on a test tract, save it for the game and do another video that shows how it will render in game.

However, if someone else already has this horizon in JN6 format, please speak up.

I expect you are all looking to go fantasy course. If looking for additional inspiration, the Scottish Open next year will be at The Renaissance Club, which is a top 100 course and really neat. Here are a couple of pics.

Here are two more BG's from Fish.

It is difficult to view the detail on these horizons, but it appears that both are from a high perspective like a course set on a hill/mountain looking down on its surroundings. But I could be wrong. Like I say, it is hard to make out the details.

If Fish can provide a ZIP file with the panels, I will load them up in my test course, and I can produce a video showing the in-game views of these horizons.

I tried my hand on creating a horizon from the image posted by Sundance named links3 located in this thread:

Warning: I am color blind so quite often my artistic efforts are subpar. Not to worry if you good people think it doesn't cut it.

This is what portion looks like in the Designer:

Galen, the image I provided was a complete 7168 X 400 image that could be used as a BG as is. Actually all three of the images I provided were actual complete BG's. When I said I could create a BG I simply meant breaking it down into panels. If you guys liked them let me repost them and keep in mind that they are complete as is.

This is a complete BG w/sky.
