Hey jferio,

 

Great to see more developers on the site.     Question, were you planning to take Haunts mod and incorporate his mod into your table?   No disrespect of your table intended, as you and Haunt can do things I cannot.  Just curious.  Thanks much for your work.

 

Naboo.

Naboo.

 

I can certainly see about doing so.

 

I'm not much of a developer yet. I built the table up in part as an exercise to familiarize myself with VPX, since a table one actually has is a great starting point, and perversely a variant of something Adam Savage admitted to when he did a one day build finishing a Trek captain's chair to replace a purchased one: I've played the previous builds of Solar Ride on VP8 and VP9, at first to see what the table was like before we got delivery of the real deal, and then was quite annoyed to find they did things like incorporated a second slingshot.

 

I've been fiddling with DB2S to the same end; the one I've downloaded has CPU lights in all the wrong places.

Love your attention to accuracy. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next.

Good news everyone. I've corrected some errors, updated the arch geometry, and even built a DB2S backglass to go with it. Hopefully 1.3 will clear pretty soon.

 

Big thanks to hauntfreaks for graphic tweaks, and BorgDog for kindly giving me permission to include his build of the Gottlieb specific kickouts.

Excited to see an update. Thank you Jferio, Hauntfreaks and BorgDog. Maybe update this one the other site as well ?

From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.
