What did you do to get it working? :-)

[LoadedWeapon]

Im using hyperpin still and did just what Pinball99 said.. was so simple I wasent sure it was working.. so I opened LAH with the regular exe and the ball was crazy! So just making the txt file and add the table name and then the exe name and it works perfect.. I have no idea how guess hyperpin looks for it..

[bent98]

Do you have any issue with focus in Hyperpin? I cant figure out why I am having an issue.

nope haven't noticed anything different. .

[bent98]

What Operation system are you using? Also can you cut and paste your settings.ini file from hyperpin?

l set this feature up yesterday to launch different versions of vp and it worked in theory but issue was once the table loads after 2 second hyperpin goes back ontop  and vp is underneath. (Looses focus) You have to alt tab to get focus back and you cant not hit "e" key to exit table (What I have exit mapped to in fplaunch) . You have to  hit esc exit vp table then it will bring you back to Hyperpin. I made a video so you can see what I am talking about. It only happens when you use the vpexetables.txt to launch a custom version of vp and not when you are launching tables normally. It doesn't matter the version of VP either as I test multiple. I am running Win XP 32bit and  FPLaunch1.295wip10 Pinball FX2+Pinball Arcade mod v1.4. I am not running anything else in the background that would make it loose focus. Someone have any ideas?

Update:

 

I test with a bone stock version of FPlaunch.1295wip  (http://www.vpforums....showtopic=23367)  with same result. I tried changing the focus routine  in my settings.ini file from external to none. This made the table stay on top as opposed to hp going on top after two seconds but you still cant exit the table without f4 or manually exiting and the alt tabbing and closing vp. I am perplexed how it works for some of you other guys.

I have the same issue, but only when using physmod5 exe for some reason....don't know what's different for this to happen only with physmod5, VP 921 and 990 work fine for me.  My long shot guess would be maybe the FPLaunch script needs to be updated for newer releases of VP? - Just a guess

[LOSE FOCUS SOLVED]

 

I figured out what was causing my issue with just physmod5.....in my haste I failed to add the .exe on the end of "physmod5.exe" in my notepad document.

 

I thought the issue lay with physmod5 itself because the table would load, but would 'lose focus' like bent describes.  Was only recently when I looked over the whole set up again that I noticed it was the only version I had missing the .exe.  A simple mistake since it's the first table I had added for physmod through hyperpin, and I normally just copy paste the different exe names and table names.

 

It's strange because it will actually load the table without the .exe, if it didn't I probably would of figured it out sooner.
