Here is a video I produced for a soon to be released BMPR / PhysMODv5 Hybrid MOD where I've extensively worked on tweaking the native PhysMODv5 flippers but tuned the table in combination with some milder BMPR usage and some utilization / modification of my other physics based routines / helpers.  The general game play is depicted well enough, however, with capture software things are always a little less fluid and stutter introduced (as much as I tried to limit that with the techniques used to capture the raw video).  The actual release topic / link will have more details.

Impressive.  Can't wait to try it out.

Thats awesome JF welcome back

[The Loafer]

Super impressive!

That's the first time I've seen that kind of subtle 'flipper tricks' type control where you can barely release the flipper to get the ball to bounce, this is particularly handy for backhanded shots....love it.

My favorite pin of all time- HELL YEAH

[arngrim]

omg excellenf work i want to have that in dracula and scared stiff

[unclewilly]

Sweet jimmy. Glad to see you got some time to play with vp some more

[Slydog43]

Great video, very realistic flipper action.  I hope you have some say in VP10 development

[zany]

Looks perfect JF!

[Xirmaze]

Realy nice

[Arcade4]

very Impressive. And I just picked up a real Firepower last month.

That flipper catch at 2:34..... omfawk

[boiydiego]

would like that flippermovement in all my tables jimmyfingers

AWESOME! That has to be the standard for all tables! And of course for VP 10.

[boiydiego]

mpad you are right , lots of the tricks i can do allready now old and new physics but some just dont look right in the movie the look all right and smooth..

In the next few days I'll try to get the underlying table from this video released for everyone to try out, at least like how most of the other PhysMODv5 tables were (dropbox, quick links, etc.).  I've made a few discoveries while working on it and have two main posts I plan to compose at the same time as one would have a potential impact on all other tables and aspects with even VP9.9 as it has to due with input lag and ways to assess and tweak the USB interface to potentially achieve more precise flipper timing.  These tweaks can result in more points of reference (1000 vs. 125 Hz standard / locked for Windows 7 USB polling) for interaction that will allow a greater realism result as more refined timing samples for input increases and allows for more points between what typically would only be a max of 8 ms factors between any press and release flipper action / interaction.  

 

More to come on that...

Looks amazing! Don't know how you do the physics so well? It's probably the most frustrating thing but when it's right it feels so right! And that looks very nicely done. Looking forward to testing it thanks for sharing!

Wow that's so amazing I haven't played any pm5 tables yet because I'm afraid that once I try them I will "hate" the normal physics, as non of my favorite tables are available in pm5. I've been watching a lot of Papa videos and been trying to use the flipper tricks seen in the videos but most can't be done in the normal physics

The table in this video is now available and discussed / detailed in this new topic:
