I was comparing Rocket III to Fast Draw, which plunger works good on, and the difference seems to me that the plunger works better when it extends 2 or 3 mm above, or through, the walls the ball rests on...Rocket plunger set to y-1057 works good for me. Also, if the walls the ball rests on are not equally spaced from the plunger, then the ball sits a little off center to the plunger and when it hits the ball it puts a lateral force to it...at least that sounds good in theory.

**Nevermind, I just saw where you fixed that in arcade version***

You are right. I just put the plunger 2-3 mm above and it's work fine (I hope). But, with the initial position, the plunger is in a good position (when you pull it, you see the ball falling). I have to mark that on a post-it in order to remain it...
Thanks for your help.

Wow! How does he get the flippers to close like that? Neat feature.

It would be nice to be a video of Popotte's fantastic FP recreation running in a cabinet on Youtube, and then add it as a video response to the real table. The owner of the real pin won't believe it how good it looks to the real thing. I don't have a cab (yet!) otherwise would do it. It would also be good to see the table it its full glory (my 10" netbook doesn't exactly play that smooth nea.gif ). Anyone up for it!

Great Rawd- I did edited my post - just to say it would be good to see running in its full glory. Can't wait!
