Based on the Stern table from 1981.
Script based on destruks script from his old table together with TAB.
Graphics based on the graphics redraw by Francisco666 as found on his FP table.
 
So here it is another "oldie" from the 80's :)

What's New in Version 6.0.0 (See full changelog)

  • 6.0.0 Updated September 2025
  • - Moved LUT to User Options (F12)
  • - Added some extra options to the User Options (F12)
  • - Updated physics to my latest rev 4.3.1. mostly bouncier rubbers and harder flippers.
  • 5.5.0 Updated 13.12.2024
  • - New playfield mesh to avoid the ball getting stuck on top of the flippers.
  • - Fixed my ball spin control, which were too aggressive, and it killed the ball's acceleration, making the ball too slow, getting stuck on ramps, and also being unable to climb the ramps on many tables.
  • - Updated for VPX8 (adjusted reflections, equirectangular ball, linked flashers to lights, incandescent lights)
  • - Updated physics to my Rev3. Including physics materials, flipper code and slingshot shapes.
  • - Updated LUT images and display system, 10 darker shades and 10 warmer shades.
  • - some graphical changes (playfield mesh with holes, metal wall guides, lights warmer)
  • - added a screenshot for scutters file explorer handler
  • 4.0.1 Updated 18.10.2022
  • - Fixed top playfield droptargets not being visible.
  • 4.0.0 Updated 16.10.2022
  • - Updated to my VPX7 physics
  • - Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound.
  • - cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table
  • - Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL).
  • - Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.
  • - Some small script updates, like the Rolling sound and PlaySoundAt routines.
  • - Made the light inserts warmer.

Beautiful Table!

the ball physics aren't right.   The table is so beautiful it's a shame.   Why are so many VPX tables great at ball physics but these old sterns like lightning, flight 2000,  quicksilver etc are not good at physics.

facelift, what physics tweaks have you tried that have been an improvement? Please share.

Another fun blast from my past! A great rendering as always, JP!
