I gave it a try.....plays and look really nice. I did increase the min/max slope to 5.8 which gave better physics to the ball, but then the flippers became abit to weak,

Hi Zany, that's because the solenoids in those flippers are over 30 years old! ;)  I actually played one a few years ago at the Church of the SilverBall in Toronto and even though it had all of the rubbers replaced and was mostly in good working order, I was amazed that it was such a slow table which is why I've been tweaking it the way I did.  From what I've been able to find out is that quite a few operators routing these tables would max out the slop of the real machines to eat up the kids quarters which is why you might remember it playing faster, just like I did. ;)

 

A couple quick things you can do to increase the speed:

 

-Change the slope back to 4.2 for min and max.

 

-On the backdrop settings, change the dampening speed to 50, I currently have it set to 110

-On the backdrop settings, change the gravity constant to 1.55, I currently have it set to 1.667

 

-On all three flippers, change the speed to 0.65, the strength to 0.08 and the elasticity to 0.6

Haha...Kruge...so true....all the pins here in my town were the same.....maxed out, just as you say, and to eat our poor quarters...i remember one man even had some wood under the rear legs, and it was impossible to hit the ramps on ie. Black Knight, even if it was brand new! :D

I'll try your settings for sure, and i love these -80's pins! :)

Look forward to see the final release! :D

Marry X-Mas!!!
