Right. I made a major ass of myself a way back - I was going to take the main-board manual out of my cab and I managed to pull that with one of the 12V cables, falling on to a 5V ... making my keyboard/nudge controller my worst enemy for life. It starting sending bullshit data in spikes and denied me from entering the start key (1) and random nudges when it got a bit warm.

 

This is why I went down this road and discovered a few things I simply wouldn't have found without my mishap. Its like those things. You leave a cheese in a cavern and it moulds into a different flavour kind of thing. At least, for me it did.

 

Ordered a replacement, but, wanted so badly to play ACDC with you guys. I was unsure if I've broken the Main board of the computer, or if it was the controller itself that got the main jolt. Took the controller out and attached it to my old 2008 desktop computer that I've used to play ... you guessed it Desktop tables on ;)

 

Didn't think much of it .. put it on a older usb2 hub and all of a sudden the controller was much calmer, it did put those darn spikes, but, way smaller than than in my cab. So, I thought. Hmmm ... there is this program ... dxtweaks that I've used for some car driving games years ago where the controller didn't turn as quickly on the wheel as I liked it to.

 

This time it was kind of opposite, I suddenly needed it to not pick up those spikes.

 

So, in order to make my cab "semi" work again. I took my older usb2 hub to the cab, used the dxtweaks program to muffle the spikes into a working setup again. Was it perfect - hell no, it was after all spikes, but, I could definalty tweak it into obedience.

 

So, if you have problems with to high readings from your nudge sensor - this is the tool you need ;)

By the way - got my replacement yesterday. So I'm back ;)

Thanks guys for the nice words! Arrived in Denmark today and tomorrow we'll arrive at our first destination in Sweden. It's already beautiful and how to bump into JP to get some of those cheats mentioned :).

Well...we did one for all the golfers in the Spring. Let's honor all those who love car racing...JP's NASCAR. I'm actually more an F1 fan, but I'll go in circles for a week:)

Congrats for your highscore, Bob, this table was very hard to play, and drains wide open!

 

Don't know if difficulty is different between DT and cab versions ?

 

Nice choice, another one from JP

 

I post my HS before the coming of hundred million ! :)

So what's next weeks game ;)

Great score, are the pop bumpers that insane on the real table?

I'm currently about 48m, but expect to get higher, really enjoying the game.

Key to scores here is getting to first place in a race. Every shot up the ramps is a "victory lap" giving you a million on every shot...maybe more..I was too focused on keeping the ball in play and not watching the dmd once I realized what was going on..but it definitely starts at a million. I may not be playing a lot this week though. My cab is in a nook on the second floor and it gets very uncomfortable on hot and humid days
