Full rebuild of WhirlWind, all prerendered for 4K resolution and VR.
warning: some flashing lights sequences may affect photosensitive viewers
Base version VP9 of Herweh used and some bits and pieces from Walamab's Whirlwind for VPX
Flupper: 3d models, 3d inserts, new flipper bats, photoshop work, rendering, lighting, all scripting related to visuals (except VR)
Rothbauerw: all the physics coding and objects
Fleep: sound engineering, sound scripting
Clark Kent: scanned playfield
Blackmoor: owns actual machine, sound recordings, scanned plastics, reference images, reference videos for the lighting, testing
Cosmic80 for cleaning plastics textures for previous vp9 version
Wrd1972: reference photos for ramps placement
Leojreimroc: scoring displays and backglass lighting in VR
Rawd & 3rdaxis: VR room, cabinet, backbox, topper and VR script added
VPW: testing the prerelease beta
For best performance use these settings:
- use 10.6.2 or later
- no brute-force 4x SSAA (is not necessary), but quality SMAA
- exclusive full screen with 1 for FPS limiter and 1 for maximum prerendered frames
- Ambient occlusion, ball trails, screen space reflections all off
Other remarks:
- the magnasave buttons change the LUT, see script options
- it is advised to keep the POV settings as they are in the download for the full screen mode; all textures have been prerendered for this POV
- don't use day/night slider (leave on table default), it does not do much, use LUT to change contrast/brightness
- If you are experiencing thick lines around the inserts in VR, make sure to have the latest VPVR Shaders from November 2021

amazing table
Looks amazing!!! Thanks for all your work on this one!!
hey flupper and team. i don´t know what it´s more awesome.. the table or the pdf with ´´the making of´´...... thanks you so much for including this in the 1.1 version...very inspiring!! by the way...this last version has something off with the plunger..is laking of strength..it barely make the first roll... 1.0 is fine so im sticking with this old version until a fix came up. hoping to know about you soon! thanks you agian!
@markoshugo: the plunger in 1.1 behaves more like the real one. The plunger in 1.0 was too strong, you could not make the skillshot. In 1.1, a full pull should bring the ball to the top of the red bumpers and sometimes it rolls past, sometimes it does not. That is as accurate as we could make it. If you want to change that, you could change the release speed of the plunger object to 85 or higher.
If you think the Whirlwind 1.0 version was really good.....the updated Whirlwind 1.1 puts a blush on its face. The update is amazing!!
Get it, it is absolutely the best table in VPX currently!
Let me explain why:
The graphics on the update are on a different level of realism. The amount of detail is incredible and it all looks so hyperrealistic.
The lighting and flashers idem dito! Physics: Real!
The sound......wow....the sound! Fleep should get a pay rise! 
. The sound design in terms of SSF (Sound/vibration feedback)has been lifted to an incredible realistic level.
I "just" have a 2.1 exciter/bass puck audio system for table sounds (no solenoids) and I can honestly say that the vibrations (and sounds) of the flippers and all other table components feel just like the real table.
Magnificent!
Well done guys and everbody involved! Thank you so much!
Vraiment Super !
Quel beau travail !
Grand grand merci et Bravo !!
Absolutely great update, thank you.
