* New Backdrop image for DT users (thanks @batch)
* Added nFozzy flippers (thanks @Apohpis)
* Added Fleep Sounds (thanks @Apohpis)
* Reworked all the images, cleaned and upscaled
* Added missing mechanical sounds and replaced ball rolling sound
* Tuned Slingshots and Bumpers force
* Corrected Rubbers Hit Height
* Added JP's LUT code
* New instruction Cards in the apron
* Adjusted general table physics (thanks @Apohpis)
* Adjusted numerous table elements physics properties (thanks @Apohpis)
* Added dampeners  (thanks @Apohpis)
* Few other adjustments that I can't remember  anymore

I umm, may have to try this

Shhh, dont tell

 

 

Now if only i could decide on Firepower I, Drop targets or Hit targets?
I just dont know

[ryesteve]

I'm having a problem with the left ramp shot.  The ball is getting to the curve and then bouncing back down instead of going around the curve and continuing across the table.  Anyone else?

Walamab's original table also had this problem with the ramp shot, I don't think there was a fix for it.

Looks great goldchicco, thank you.

Not yet, mind you i have only made the ramp shot a few times, usually i dont get it right and dont have enough ass to make it up the ramp
but when i have, i have not had it bounce back, yet.

[ryesteve]

Yeah, I've seen that too, but even when I hit it squarely enough to overcome gravity, it just rebounds right back at me.

[wiesshund]

Not sure then, when i manage to get it up the ramp, it goes on through
i just dont manage to get a good shot most of the time

Ramp 5 is overlapping ramp 1 and leaving a lip that the will ball have a hard time rolling over at low speeds. Simply move the left most point on ramp 5 over like this...

Then the control points from ramps 1,3,5 and 13 need to be offset -10. 

And finally both ramps 14 and 18 need to be dropped to 70.

Im afraid LOL

i might do worse

[wiesshund]

Ok, i put on big boy panties

 

i took the last point on ramp 1, copied the X/Y coords, picked ramp 5, 1st point, clicked past button, i carried that all the way to the right side
lining up the ramps

 

Then the wire ramps looked bad, so i went back and aligned them to their matching points, all the way across, even the turn before the down ramp

 

Seems to run very smooth, though i still can not hit the ramp for crap, and when i say smooth, it exits the down ramp like a runaway train LOL
i maybe should have installed brakes

[3rdaxis]

And the flipper physics seem a little weak.

goldchicco is updating the fix's. 

Edited by 3rdaxis, 14 September 2021 - 07:11 AM.

[wiesshund]

Seems better yes
flippers not so bouncy and a bit stronger
still cant hit the ramp for beans, have to figure out the sweet spot

[Bladeof]

Light number 10 does not light up. To FIX: In the editor, find light 18 and rename it to L18, then in the script under the sub update lamps section, put in the following line... NFadeL 18, L18

A "Firepower II" with good flipper adjustments has yet to be released. Every version has the "FP feeling": Aim a a target and you'll surely miss it.

 

I've experimented with the settings and came across with these:

 

BR 21,5

ER 13

L 130

SA 125

EA 70

H 50

MDL 0

 

Just give it a try.

Which version of Firepower II you used this settings??
I'm going to release an update later today, based on 3rdaxis suggestions (flippers and ramp tuned).
Them way compare the two settings

[Albert]

I used them on your version: Firepower II (Williams 1983) 1.0
