Hmm don't know what's the problem here. Do you have VP9.9.1 running without problems? This tool is actually the 9.9.1 version just with the new feature.

Just to be sure that I understood you. Do you want an information of the mouse cursor's position inside the player or in the editor?

 

It would be needed from inside the player, since the editor is only showing the table from a top view with no perspective at all.

Also, it would be great if the Inclinaison could be changed by increments of 0.5 (or less) instead of 1.

 

One more thing from my side. On my first try with the tool, it looked like the z scale could not be changed, but maybe I was doing something wrong.

Yes the z-scale won't work because a lot of elements are generated before everything else is rendered. The only chance to see that in real time is for dynamic primitives.

This is really nice feature. For few tables I was able to find much more natural POV easily with this version.

 

Unfortunately most of the tables I tried crash for me (for example Tommy, Demolition Man, Shadow crashed whereas AFM worked fine etc.). Can't find any reason why some tables crash and some don't.  All these tables play fine from normal VP versions.

 

Could this be related to some PM5 changes in VP? All my cab tables are PM5. However some of those work so it should not be the (only) root cause for the crash either...

Could someone put this like in the download essentials or something so people can find it easier?
