Sounds like a lot of work is going into this table and your passion for it is really coming through with the visuals and descriptions.

I enjoy your other tables and can't to try FH!

BTW, are you still looking into physics similar to what JP used on his Flash vpx table?

I've looked around in the settings and sounds and still not sure how JP was able to get that particular table to play, feel and sound more realistic than any other VP table I have played.

Anyway, keep the passion and thanks for sharing!

I have put a big emphasis on physics for FH. I have referenced JP's and CK's styles and factored in what I am seeing on my real FH machine.

It plays very accurate to the real thing and has plenty of the east/west ball action I have been looking for. I guarantee you will be pleased.

I'm out of "likes" for the day, but really looking forward to another great table, wrd... you have made some really nice ones.

Thanks for hosting the teaser vids for me Laylow. This is going to assist me in fine tuning the physics as well.

AMAZING!!!!!!

[osujd]

Really Amazing work...on a side note laylow I have never seen a video where the ball moves as smoothly as in your videos what are your system specs for your machine?

[Rajo Joey]

Fantastic! I'm speechless. The physics seem to be perfect.

This table is looking incredible.  Love your other tables and can't wait to give this one a try. 

 

Thanks for sharing your progress as well.

OK, I gotta know, how did you end up implementing the mirror (or is that some new functionality of the latest VP version, I haven't been very active here lately)?

Hi Shoop,

It started with me taking POV pics of the mirror on my real FH. Then Cyberpez created the images and the reflected playfield lighting effects which are tied to the actual PF lights. Now how CP created the reflected backwards lights and correctly placed them, I dont even know.

 

The mirror looks absolutely real and maybe one day, we can have the reflected ball. On the bulbs for the mirror. My real FH did not have the plastic bulb covers on it when I got it, but I did get it second-hand. I have not been able to determine if the new FH machines back in the day had the plastic covers on the bulbs or not. So I decided to create the bulbs without the covers and allow the bulb elements to glow very much like they do on my real machine. The plastic covers make it look a little too TPA, IMO.

This is going to be an amazing table. You guys are awesome artists/developers! Love the global collaboration on this one! One world for sure!

[Guus]

Impressive work, looks great! Also the mods are a great addition!

So many impressive tables last few months, the VP players are lucky these days. Thanks to all that are involved.

 

Two small things; the reflection on the small board with the 1x red, 4x yellow, 1x green mirror is cool but this makes the text unreadable, maybe a  "mat coated" option/mod with "half reflections" or something like that would be usefull.

And reflections on the playfield of items such as the ramps would be cool(as seen in more recent VPX tables).

[wrd1972]

Guss,
Thanks for the complilents. The playfield reflections are simply turned off in favor of stutter free gameplay. They can be turned on or off at will. This is a very large table with lots of mobing parts and will likely require powerfull rigs to run with reflections and be stutter free.

The concern with the difficulties seeing the mirror is the same as on my real cab. Maybe we can look into a white outline for the letters. The reflection looks so life like i would hate to disturb that.

Can't wait to play this sweet release. Each time the tables get better and better and FH is such a classic that deserves this kind of attention. Great work!
