Download Universe (Zaccaria 1976) 1

Nice job, those Zaccaria tables are great!

Don't know if this violates forum etiquette, but this is a copy/paste of a post I made on another forum:

Always good to see a Zaccaria in VPX as they are so rare, especially high quality ones.

I do think this version is being compromised in its current default state though, as a few simple tweaks makes the table look and sound a lot better IMO.

Standard brightness for instance seems much too high, setting the day/night cycle to two and a half clicks from the left solves its "washed out" appearance.

On top of that I increased playfield reflection to 50.

Tweaking the Backglass/FOV settings also nets substantial gain, at least when playing in 4:3 desktop mode; I'm using the following settings - 45/35/10/0/1/1/1/0/35/-250.

I normally don't touch the X/Y/Z scale, but in this instance I changed that rule as the vanilla X 1.2 and Y 1.1 make for a horizontally stretched look no matter the FOV.

As for the audio aspect, I changed the flipper and saucer (kickout) sounds, increased the "ballvel" fraction from 2000 to 50000.

I still have to look into different bumper sounds and why the drop targets seem to be inaudible.

In the end, a table with short playtimes (the flipper gap and outlanes are brutal) that's superior to the paid Magic Pixel version in virtually all respects.

Many thanks !!!

Very good job and it's a nice table too. Thank you very much.

Very good work. Thank you very much.
