Every table kiwi has made is a piece of art and plays very well imo. https://www.vpforums...13&userMode=all

I'm also looking forward to Baywatch for this reason.

Yes we all wait for Baywatch Will be amazing i'm sure.

Nice comments, Thanks!

 
It's been a while since I've had the table perforated and slotted (playfield mesh),
the next few days I could release an update.

Update 1.1.0

 
Drilled the playfield, to improve the physics of the holes, and make it look better.

 
I also inserted the slingshots made with flippers,
I am trying this solution in Baywatch and I have seen the ball is thrown more upwards,

this prevents the ball from going (always) straight in the outlanes.
Sometimes it seems more real, sometimes unpredictable, try it.

 
To enable slingshot-flippers go to line 66 of the scripts and change the value of the constant "SlingM" to 1.

Const SlingM = 1

Thanks for the update - this is really a great re-creation !

And, yes, I think the new settings works better

What is exactly slingshot-Flippers?

[Thalamus]

In this case it is the sides in the slalom slope.

What is exactly slingshot-Flippers?

Slingshots are usually made with a wall and repel the ball evenly across the surface.

 
In reality, the upper part of the slingshot tends to throw the ball upwards and the lower part throws the ball downwards,
In theory, the flippers should simulate the behavior of the real slingshot,

in the drawing the two green objects are the flippers positioned with the tips overlapping in the center,
when the flippers move to hit the ball, they move like the slingshot rubber.

That makes a lot of sense and seems to be the best approach to emulate a slingshot. Good idea, wonder why was this not done earlier

[JLouLoulou]

yes!! I like this idea!!! Congratulations for this.
@32assassin , what do you think of this for our table?
