Got some playtime on this last night. Fantastic work jp. I'll get around to adding analogue plunger support sometime and it'll be perfect

if the "enable mechanical plunger" is checked and you're a DT user...and it doesnt disable the use of a button or keyboard correct?  if that's true, why isn't it check by default by VPX?? just wondering

Cabinet user, buttons checked. Wasn't working on this table last night during test. Assumed jp didn't put the code in for it, will look into it tonight.

There is no need for "special" code for the analog plunger. Just click on the plunger and in the options "State & Physics" check "Use Analog Plunger", then you may need to change the 3 parameters under to fit your analog plunger (the strength, momentum and the park position).

JP would it make a difference if VPX came deflated as "enable mechanical plunger" would it effect the DT user?? or would the keyboard keypress be the same?.... on my setups its doesnt seem to matter

It doesn't matter for the desktop user. But the analog plunger user may need to adjust some of the parameters, maybe mostly the park position to fit their device.

I'll have to ask in the VPX thread if the option is even needed anymore if it works no matter what

It is undoubtedly a classic and this recreation is excellent. Thanks JP!

 

The table is also one of the most annoying as far as the constant noises it emits. I wish I could turn those off :)

I found out that if I press F12 and set the volume to -16 is only half as annoying :)

Great release, thanks! Only the sounds are so annoying but that's not your fault haha

 

One thing / bug ? While playing with two players: After the last ball of the first player there is never a "end game multiball" but with the second player there is ALWAYS an "end game multiball".

 

Seems like a serious bug to me, please comment?

At the end of a two player game the winner gets a timed multiball for some extra 'rub it in' points. It's not a bug.

Hi JP, I got back from vacation today and finally got a chance to play your new release and compare it to my BK machine. It is spot on in many ways. I mean that the ball interacts with the flippers the same as my table. In a subjective way, your table gives off the same personality as the real thing. I also get similar scores as my real BK machine; that says a lot about how realistic you have made the game play, because some of the VMs I play, I get unrealstically high scores where you know it just ain't right.

The only thing I observe is that the ball rolls significantly faster on your playfield than my machine. I guess I could study how to adjust playfield friction and keep quiet, but I thought you might find the feedback helpfull from someone who has the actual machine.

Lastly, I adjusted the brightness slider all the way down to the left to the lowest setting. I love it when the playfield is dark and only illuminated by the game's lighting.

Anyway, it is a sweet table and I thank you. What a nice surprise. Thanks!
