first of all, great release, as always

as said in the hi-score topic, the table is really too fast on my PC...
since VP9, lots of table have this, sometime its clearly the slope, for this one, i dont know
how all this must be set compare the diverses PC specifications of each guys here ??? impossible to say... seems its different for lots of us
(while i DONT have a end-user-powerfull-war-machine lol : PE 6500, GF9800 GT, 2 gigas RAM on XP, playing on FS 1280*1024 ... )

to me, i've just set the min & max at 5 for the slope : its remain quite fast (& incontrolable when slingshots are going side by side for example), but its playable as it, and quite near to what i can remember of the real table

well, i read that standard setting for VP9 slop "must be" between 6 > 7...
just checked you MEDUSA table, which run perfect, its 4.5 for min & max !?

btw, what does the GLOBAL DIFFICULTY LEVEL ? and PBW ACCELEROMETER ?

Global Difficulty Level – sets a modifying value to the table for table slope, scatter angle and scatter velocity of playfield objects. Altering the Global Difficulty Level alters the general difficulty of the game. The default value means that nothing is changed from individually specified editor settings of each object. Range of values 0.0000001 to 1.0000000. Table slope is calculated using: Slope = SlopeMin + ((SlopeMax – SlopeMin) x GlobalDifficulty)
PBW Accelerometer – enables polling the PinballWizard, MotionIO Device, Ushock Board, and the Microsoft Freestyle USB Game Controller to determine table sloping and react to nudges.

Dan (who really must get the vp9 documentation finished soon!).

well, he did ask. it's something we as table authors don't really need to know. ok put it this way, do you drive a car? do you fully understand every gear inside your transmission? or do you just hope it shifts when it's supposed to? see?

Errr...I would've thought table authors were exactly the people that needed to know the options in the editor - when I change gear in my car I at least hope that the engineer that designed it knew what to put in & what to leave out!

Thanks for this!

 I owned this table in the 80s and early 90's and it plays extremely close to my experience with the original. One thing I noticed is there are quite a few sounds missing from the table. I'm really new to this, but is there a way to add them
