I'm honestly surprised that the author mentioned Pikes Peak. It's pretty much a STRAIGHT conversion, and the huge crest in the road is a buzzkill that I don't have the software or knowledge to fix.
There are SO many other great courses out there that deserve mention way ahead of it -- Mid Ohio, Longford, LaChatre, Bathurst, Sebring, etc etc etc.
I've been sitting on a version of Pikes Peak with better textures and a few other little improvements, but got so hung up on the limitations of 3DSimEd and the annoying shadow non-receiving x-trees that I haven't seen a point to releasing it.
Not that it's going to be abandoned, I've just been crazy busy with league stuff these days.
