That's a pretty table. How does that lower right plastic stay on the posts?

[rossicomputers]

Popotte,

Notice two bugs:

1) Arrow down -> Increase 10 points
2) apron pic on top the flippers

1) not arrow down but Numeric Keypad 2. I've forget (as often) to remove cheat keys...
2) ??? don't understand...

What do you mean?

There are no screws on that plastic.

When Rossi says the apron is covering the flippers, he means when you load it vertically, the flippers are slightly covered. You must not play vertically on a widescreen monitor as your cheat key (the number pad 2 key) is one of the keys for adjusting the table for vertical play or Full Screen.

Right, but as you said lowest plastic, I looked at the slingshot...

Don't work. Weak Plunger.

[Popotte]

Don't work. Weak Plunger.

Don't ask me why, but sometimes the plunger doesn't work (very weak) and just after it works (and not only with this table)... Never understand why...

OK... Unfortunately, the apron is very high and very large... Nothing to do except resizing the apron (and all the other objects around it).

Hey, the plunger isn't strong enough to launch the ball onto the playing field! What kind of sick joke is this!?

[Rawd]

I was able to see the flippers better in arcaderender by unlocking and moving the apron back by 15 steps. There is a screw on the left side of the apron that you may want to move as well.

I am also having a hard time with the plunger. It seems that about 75% of the time, it is not strong enough.

This table looks very good Popotte, very good colors.

OK... You can find here an aracde render version... Tell me if it's OK (or not).
Concerning the plunger, I really don't know.

[bc57]

I was comparing Rocket III to Fast Draw, which plunger works good on, and the difference seems to me that the plunger works better when it extends 2 or 3 mm above, or through, the walls the ball rests on...Rocket plunger set to y-1057 works good for me. Also, if the walls the ball rests on are not equally spaced from the plunger, then the ball sits a little off center to the plunger and when it hits the ball it puts a lateral force to it...at least that sounds good in theory.

**Nevermind, I just saw where you fixed that in arcade version***

Thanks for another great rendition Popotte. Just ignore the PM I sent, this fix of the y position on the plunger seems to cover it well. Plays great, and those plastics are super sharp to look at.
