Screenshots
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

This table is stunning! The plastics, lighting, shadows and playfield are on another level. The mechanical sounds are spot on, and with all this goodness this table still manages to play smoothly with fast, fluid and realistic ball movement.

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us. 

Apologies for selecting 4 stars by mistake I was trying to click 6 :)

Could someone please advise on the best handling of alphanumeric DMD for this one?  

 

I can't figure out how to suppress the alphanumeric DMD.  I would like to just use the Freezy DMD for this table.  I have Freezy showing correctly... but would like to permanently disable the alphanumeric, if possible. 

I have my VPinMame settings correct:  show external DMD-checked... VPinMameDMD-unchecked. 
VPX 10.6, 2 screen cabinet, Freezy 1.9.

What triggers the fan? Does it come on when the spinners are spinning? Mine is not working. Either that or I just haven't ever done what triggers the fan. The fan works fine with the DOF test table, so I know it works....
