What's New in Version 6.0.1 (See full changelog)

  • 6.0.1 Updated 07,10.2025

  • - 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 15.12.2024
  • - 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.
  • 5.0.0 Updated 10.12.2024

  • - some graphical changes (playfield mesh with holes, metal wall guides, lights warmer)

  • - Updated to my VPX7 physics
  • - cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table
  • - Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darker the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.
  • - Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better.

  • Added SSF sound and exchanged some mechanical sounds.

This has some neat tweaks that make it distinctly different from Flight 2000.

Thanks JP , great table , fun to play . Taito from Brazil pinball machines were extremely popular during the 80 s in that country , mainly cause the restrictions  to import their USA counterparts at that time .Thats why most of them were clones from Williams and Gottliebs machines with just different names and rules but same layouts . !
