I have downloaded many 2007 courses for 2008 and most of them run perfectly, however there are a few where the water has no reflection ie blue-green swampy look.

Is this an inherent promblem with the texture used on the course or is it a graphic card problem? I have no problems with any of the 2008 courses.

I use an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro card

Not sure about this one, but i believe it has to do with the water work around in TW07 custom courses, by using Ocean water. ( Guss work around ). Very good results in TW07 game, but in TW08 it is not working very well. So when you play TW07 custom course with water work around, the water is not very good.

Note: for the best result of water you can try this:
In TW08 game go to: Options...graphics....and set: Shader Level: Medium

Thanx for that. I guess well have to wait for the 08 renditions of those 07 courses that have water isssues in 08.

I have found a shader level of low in 08 settings works best for me as anything above this causes many objects to appear to dark, almost black for both 07 & 08 courses.

Although there are a handfull of 08 custom courses where the water still retains its transparancy and reflective qualities when I use the medium shader level on my system. More times than not however,medium shader level although more surface ripples on my system looses its reflective qualities and and has a soupy blue look especially on overhead ballflight shots.
