I love this table but I would like to see the jackpot value. I play only with one monitor. Unfortunately, I have no idea about programming :-( I see that in the script there are lines referring to the jackpot lights but there is an error if I activate those. I also tried to get a backglass (http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=7604) to run (smaller on the same monitor) but I don't see a possibility in the script to activate one either. I am probably just stupid but it would be great if someone could help me with this.

xenonph wrote a tutorial showing how to run a table with a dB2S backglass on a 1 monitor system.  Maybe if you follow what he wrote here you may be able to view the backglass and table together on your 1 monitor system:  http://www.vpforums....showtopic=32515

 

Hope this helps.

I just see the option "Disable B2S". And it is not turned off in my preferences. Am I missing something?

 

@ta2686: Yes, I was aware of that tutorial but unfortunately I can't find those script lines, that need to be changed in the Bad Cats script.

So... I got a question. The spinning wheel in the middle doesn't spin for me. Even, when I trigger the the event that spins it. I do get the random reward, but the middle never spins or changes. Just wondering if other people had that same issue. It's a shame, because the table plays great and it's a fun table... Was wondering if its just me, or if it's a glitch other people got.

Main goal of the update was to achieve very precise and sensitive ball control with the flippers like on a real pinball machine. I think with the latest physics finding this goal has been reached. At least I hope so.

Would love to try the new B2S but can't seem to find it.

Thanks for all your efforts to all involved. It's really appreciated
