Very nice. Thanks JP & co.

These Taito adaptions of the Gottlieb tables ("Apache", and this one) are fascinating.

 

I've never played a real one of these, but the physics seem "real".

That's JP magic for ya, secret sauce and all.

I haven't touched the physics in this table, it all Loserman's work (maybe Editoy tweeked something since he edited a little the table too), but I guess it's all Loserman's

[editoy]

No physics mod from me, only graphic and some adjust of existing objects

Bonjour

je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais les scores du backglass ne correspondent pas à ceux de la table ?.....

solution...

 

merci quand même pour cette très belle table et b2s

Pardon pardon , j'annule ma remarque, je n'avais pas pris la dernière version 10.2

mes excuses

 

super table

 

Merci a tous

Whoever is responsible for the physics: This table has all the hallmarks of the typical phantastic "JPSalas table physics".

 

Just compare the physics to "Hot Shot", they are considerably different (the ball in the latter is less "bouncing").

 

(To avoid misunderstandings: This is in no way a criticism of the Loserman tables, i like his tables very much and play them every day.)

Great table but sometimes the ball behaves strangely around the middle hole. Slowly levitates around it, does not want to fall inside 

[Albert]

I didn't experienced this problem so far, but i use an older VP version because i still use an earlier version of the table (with some modifications).

 

You might try VP 10.4, but i can't guarantee that it works.

Every time i see this table, i keep expecting to see

Yes, there has been some changes in the behavior  of the kickers in VPX. Use the latest VPX version whenever is possible, as each version includes more and more bug fixes   There has been also some more fixes in the kickers in 10.7

The first version of the table was based on Loserman's table, but I rebuild version 2 from scratch just to make it play more how I prefer. It is all a matter of preferences.

Lucky Strike v5.5.0 bug noticed when playing.

 

Sometimes the ball jump and stuck just under the center plate on top of the center hole when shooting the ball to the center hole.

 

Thanks JP for all your work !!
