ok, i got i the ball travel through without getting stuck.
removed the original L/R flipper rails off the table.
created new L/R flipper rails from the new "wall" in the editor.
the new L/R flipper rails are 2 pieces from the new created wall in the editor.
created a curved elbow at the inner/outer flipper rail.
clicked on smooth on the inner control; point to create a smooth turn.
then created the new straight rail to the flipper.
passes through fine.

with the original rails i tried different options in the editor.
clicked on acrylic, solid and few more options.
typed the object in the edit search in the script search.
nothing. no results.
other than the ball getting stuck in the rails at the trigger it played xllnt.
this is the only table doing this.

so, ummm, gentlemen, why is the ball getting stuck in the original flipper rails at the trigger and not the new created flipper rails from "wall" in the editor?

chas do you have your windows rotated also?
when you work in windows is your screen portrait or landscape?

can you post printscreen or photo of your windows screen and some tables, before and after fixing flippers?

chas you are doing something completely wrong
nobody has to edit every fs table and move and enlarge flippers and rails because they are squeezed
every fs table works out of the box to every body

so if you want to find out what's completely wrong with your setup - send some pictures i asked for in previous posts

nobody, nobody will bother to do all your changes to tables just to test why you get stuck ball if they don't know why you messed the table in the first place

its not taht hard if you have some experience in the editor and know how to do it.
and well yeah they work but the flippers are puny sometimes.
even in the FS screenshots the flippers are puny.
so you tell me what to do in the windows and portrait.
tipoto T2 chrome and the JPs pirates FS have puny flippers.
vertical tables look ok.

just post some printscreens of your windows desktop and of your tables in play before and after the changes you make.


What's your windows resolution? Is it 16:9 or 4:3 monitor? Do you have your screen turned around all the time or just while you play? Do you have black bars on the sides of the screen?

For making printscreens - you have a printscreen key on keyboard, press it and picture goes to copy buffer, then open paint or any image editor and select edit -> paste on menu.
You will get picture in your window, so just save it as jpg.
Make picture of your windows desktop when you are not in vp, and of some tables that are as you said squeezed.
You can also make picture of your screen with digital camera and upload here.
To upload picture here you have choose file and upload buttons just under text box in which you write your post.

Do you have your screen turned around all the time or just while you play? >>>>
not sure what you mean.

do you have your monitor in a cab or on a desk? and when you are not in vp do you rotate your screen back to normal position so that you can read or not?

Post a screenshot please.

[chas]

you asked why do i mod the tables.
ummm, come on gentlemen,
did you play real PB?
gentlemen the tables dont always play well out of the DL.
flippers and slings too weak or to strong etc.....
the ball should jet through spinners.
sometimes i need to make changes to flippers strength and ob.
cant get through spinners.
sometimes the tables general play is too slow or maybe too fast.

so whats up with my desktop settings in post 88 1st paragraph?
the screenshot wont be any different than what i have explained.
the flippers on FS tables are small.

Dude post a screenshot. What's all we're asking.

HOW HARD CAN IT BE?!?!

[Centrox]

A picture is worth 1000 words. If we could see what you are describing, we could better help you. I find deciphering your posts to be difficult at times so I'm never sure what you are having problems with.

That is fine Chas.. We all mod tables.

But when you mod a table, and break it.... don't expect anyone to know how to fix it for you. Especially without a screenshot.

Flipper size: The flippers were made to scale with the real table. They do not change size when you flip to FS. If you are making them bigger, then you are modding the table to be unlike the real thing.

I am glad you like my table. Have fun.

the tables are not broken.
they work.
just found it a little interesting that when i made some changes it did something not expected.
look at my 912 settings.
should i make changes to my 912desktop exec settings?

Post screenshot>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
if you want a screen shot it is not so easy.
that pc is for PB and games only.
can i do screen shot and then use a ***flash drive to transfer the documnet you want to my pc that does go onilne.

thanks bob.
this is what i am talking about.
in FS the flippers shrink because they are squeezed or compressed into a WS.
the screen shot pic is the same as the real on the screen out of the DL.
take alook at more FS screen shots.
out of the DL i get the exact same thing.
am i the only one that has small flippers in FS?
did you look at my settings in post 88 1st paargraph?

not complaining.
you are telling me im doing someting wrong.
just trying to find what is wrong and why am i getting small flippers with my current 912 settings in post 88 paragraph 1.

You've got to be taking the piss out of us Bob Right? That screen shot is a joke? There's just no way that could be occurring nor not hearing of something that ridiculous until now. Common and fess up, you're stirring the shite aren't you?

Those are my 8-Stage shrinking flippers. Each ball starts with full size flippers and then they slowly fade away. Honest, I would not shite you, especially in Rawd's thread.

you have instructions for printscreen in my previous post
how do you copy to flash drive - just like any other disk - flash drive is just another letter in windows explorer
