You want ATI feedback, you get ATI feedback. I have to say, from the screenshot you guys provided, the table looks really good. Now I didn't expect that with my ATI card, but heck, I surely didn't expect the apron not being visible! Also, the lights really don't look that smooth anymore.

The table plays like a beauty and looks like it on good cards, but on worser cards... eh.

Thanks for the release UR and Noah. smile.gif

I resized a few images like plastics2a, Nuts, and RampDecals and the table looks and seems to play fine so far, some of the images were over 1024x1024. The table loads faster now as well. wink.gif

Thanks NF and UR plays and looks great at 1280x1024@16 bit here with HR on, I can play at 1600x1200@32 bit with HR off, though I get the black apron on those settings and it really looks a lot better at the lower resolution with HR on, in fact I'd recommend playing it or any table at a lower resolution with HR on rather then turning it off if it can work for you. The skill shot seems almost impossible, the real deal was much easier, still machines vary. Oh btw can I plug a fan in somewhere and get that to work? wink.gif

Very nicely done. smile.gif

Can you click the reorder box next to hd render and see if that looks better for you please?

That's a good point, Liteuser. Those were the last edited images and I didn't resize them. For plastics2, the resolution on the apron suffered when resized. This could be what's causing the missing apron.

If it will improve performance for a lot of users, I would gladly resize and update the table at a slight loss of resolution.

@ StevOz - I'll take that into consideration for the update, as well.

I'll be building a cab in January.

After that, I can do FS versions with the proper lighting using reels. Sorry, but you'll have to wait until then.

Reorder was checked at the time I made that screenshot. Turns out, it was the three images that were larger than 1024 pixels.

Updated to 1.0.1

Resized the 3 images over 1024 in height. That should fix the apron rendering issue.

Enjoy.

The Table plays really smooth on my System! Nice Look and very very nice Ramps. A good Option for when
I need such an Ramp.

There is just one Bug till jet that I realized. See the Screenshot for Detail. A glitchy Bug on the "W" Logo.

5 Stars from me!

It also runs smooth on my system as well

I have a Pentium 4 3.0GHZ and a Nvidia GeForce 512mb 7950 GT video card.

I play the table at 1600 * 1200 with everything turned on.

I can confirm that 1.01 has fixed the missing apron issue on my system. Thanks again for this great recreation.
