Thank you very much for TAB and Destruk.

We look forward to the next Playmatic. At the moment we expect the first Screeny Party.

Thanks guys

edit: kickerhole sends the ball to the left outlane everytime without a nudge assist.

There still seems to be a problem with the extra lighting added to the bumper.
BL1 and BL1A turns on independent of the S4 bumper lamp when the extra ball lamp turns on (timer interval 30).
I believe all three lamps (BL1,BL1A, and S4) should all turn on and off together when the "on bumper"
and "off bumper" triggers are made on the playfield.
If this is supposed to happen, I made these changes:

1) Removed BL1 and BL1A from the "AllLights" collection
2) Made this change to the script

Sub BumperLamp(Enabled)
If Enabled Then
S4.State=1
BL1.State=1
BL1A.State=1
Else
S4.State=0
BL1.State=0
BL1A.State=0
End If
End Sub


I also agree with SABBAT. The kicker hole does seem to send the ball directly to the left outlane without a nudge.

Thanks for the big reports. It's updated.

Light2 removed - not used or present on the real machine
unchecked display image in editor for Wall6
Corrected flipper bounce from right inlane
Adjusted flipper angles to 53 degrees
Replaced Ramp408 with a wall to closer match the metal
Adjusted walls and elasticities
Set mushroom bumper to playfield surface
Lowered mushroom bumper force to 5
Increased S4 bumper force to 12 from 7
Added scatter angle to vary saucer kickout
Corrected extra bumper lamps (used by VP)

The saucer should be sending the ball over to the top left flipper - at least it does here for me, after hitting the rubber above the pop bumper.

Thanks for update,Destruk.

Thanks for update,Destruk.

You're welcome.
I think it's 'correct now' but I haven't been able to get any gameplay info or pictures from other owners but it has good flow like Last lap.
I rolled the score over with 3 balls, so we might have it set too easy?

[sast05]

During game play there are 5 lamps which light in rotation:

Extra Ball
30,0000
10,000
5,000
500

The Lettering for 30,000 seems to be missing from the lamp.
You may have to go into the playfield images and add it.

How do you set the replay values for this game. In the VP help section of this forum it says to press and hold F8 but isn't there a step to do first.

[destruk]

F8? No, for Playmatic system 1 you simply hold down the 8 key for replay level 1 and it increments by 10,000 points after 3 seconds, 9 is for replay level 2, and 0 is for replay level 3.

Thanks Sast - TAB will correct that lamp text.

[ta2686]

Destruk is correct. It is 8 for the first replay level, 9 for the second replay level and 0 for the third replay level.

I double checked the post in the help section and the post does not say F8 anywhere.

[TAB]

Updated to 1,0.2
Sorry for the missing 30.000

[ta2686]

Thanks for the update!

[JAM0]

Very nice guys! Thanks for this fun table

Sorry I meant 8 key. I press and hold the 8 key and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
