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

music and sound doesnt play, how can I enable it?
Totally awesome. Thanks!
thanks
The best looking virtual pinball table I've seen bar none. Pinball FX, VPX, FP. I even found someone who mentioned this exact table on youtube, saying something like: "I own the real table, but the virtual whirlwind looks better than the real thing".
It's an absolute marvel. Textures, lights, models and sounds all beyond spectacular.
Awesome table! Thank you!
This table is insanely good. As good or better than any of the new "big name/big splash" tables being released at the moment. With the right POV it's sublime. Thx for the incredible work!
Quite possibly the greatest "looking" table I've played in VPX! Can't praise that enough. I'm having a weird bug, every time I get to multi-ball, my wireless Xbox controller starts to flash and briefly dies. If I don't have my wireless keyboard on my lap as a backup to take over the balls will drain, but then I have to play the rest of the game on the keyboard. No joke, it's every time I get to multi-ball. I don't know what could be doing that? I play on my pc (desktop) with a controller. If anyone has a clue why and can help, I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll stick to the keyboard for this one table.
Awesome table, very beautiful ! But i have a problem, do you know why m'y upper right flip doesnt move , i have no problem with the lowers flips
Thanks in advance for your help

Check line 74 in the script and ensure you have it set to 0 like below. Setting this to 1 would be if you had a cabinet with dual stage leaf switches configured OR if you wanted to have a separate key for operating the upper right flipper. If you just want your standard right side flipper button to operate both the upper and lower right side flippers simultaneously then 0 is the correct setting for you. I happen to have dual stage leaf switches in my cab so I have my setting set to 1. Having this option built into the script is awesome but i imagine could be causing your issue if set incorrectly (default value is 0 though) 
Const StagedFlipperMod = 0 '0 = not staged, 1 - staged (dual leaf switches)

Thank you for this incredible table and the included peek behind the curtain to show what goes into making one of these
