I apparently don't have permission to access that.  

 

not sure why it wouldn't let you download, I double checked and looks like download is working for me.

 

 

Because it is Your file.

 

Everyone else has to wait until upload is approved

1.7 is underway but I wanted to talk to the community about some of my research and after playing the table a lot and my latest version

 

it's clear to me that some materials are not at the best possible place and so I will continue to tweak the materials, bringing them more closely inline with VPW numbers as playtests seem to indicate that they are really decent numbers to go off of - if it ain't broken don't fix it.

 

it is also very clear (to me at least) that something is just not right about the table despite a lot of work on it, which is both frustrating as a creator but also frustrating for those who are downloading various versions which play vastly different.

so I think I will be putting together some videos to clearly demonstrate why some of my changes for 1.7 are coming to the table.. I have footage of the real table and it is at odds with the current version and so I want to show you guys the care I am putting into the changes and that I'm not just a mad chef in the kitchen and assure you that future versions will work on improving authenticity.

 

I really love this table and I will not settle with it just looking like the real thing. I want it to play like the real table and If I've come this far I might as well continue to the finishing line. Feedback is all greatly appreciated especially those who have actually played the table, I need some solid ideas as to what people are scoring (is everyone scoring less than 500k? more than 1 billion etc) I don't need exact scores just ballpark. It's easy to say its a tough table irl and excuse it playing like poop but we shouldn't be unable to obtain anything near realistic scores on VPX.
