2 Things that made Problems:

I used Reels for the Bumpers to have a nice fade effect. This reels causing one Bug. The Flasher in the Playfield in the Middle of the Flashers do not show up correctly.

The Second Problem was the GI.
I leaved them away on that Version, cause there are
alot of Performance Issues. Maybe in one of the next Versions I will include it.

Big Thanks goes out to "The Dude" (Pacdude). He gave me Permission to use most Parts of his Script.
Without this Script, this table would not be possible.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Thanks to JP for helping me with some sort of Problems.

Thanks to Scapino for his Playfield Images.

Now have Fun with your Twilight Zone!

I wouldnt expect anything less than perfection Groni, and you delivered as you have with all of your releases thus far!
Keep up the amazing work, and thank-you.

Well, let's give this baby a spin.

EDIT: Well, the same problem that I had with the PD version remains here, I can't hit the Camera. I guess that's just me, however. Plays quite nicely, it's a tad bit on the hard side.

Note for future updates: Add the 1024-Backdrop.

Awesome table Groni. You've outdone yourself this time. This table plays great (alot better than I thought it would) on my 8 year old computer. Thanks again for this and keep the high quality tables coming! MIKE

[Mr. Pacman]

Unbelievably good! Thanks a lot Groni!!!

[DarkVoid]

Suuuuuuuuuuupiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee Groni
Sieht klasse aus, spielt sich toll, ein Meisterwerk

Fantastic work, one of the best tables around

One thing though, is it just me or can you only nudge up??
Cause with my button layout which i use normally the left and right nudge is also going up with this table.
Is this supposed to be or am i doing something wrong??

Or a 'Champion Pub' would come in handy!

Hi Groni,

Gameplay is no fun on my Vista laptop (too much stutter), but the visuals are stunning! Will give it a spin on my desktop PC tonight though. Thanks for all the hard work, this is one proud table!!
Greetings Slam23

I have played it on two computers...It looks more than great on big screens!!! ...but..the ball goes very fast and unnaturally when it is on the right ramp (going next to the gum machine, and when it loads the gum machine through the bended ramp... it reminded me the movement of the ball in Scapino's TZ..its like it totally ignores friction and gravity...

Check this video at 0:39 to see the speed on the real table...

[rschudej]

can you just make that center flashing light between the bumpers the same as the other lights??? Would that work as well (instead of using walls for the flasher)?????

The other flashing lights are reels, just like the Bumperlights. VP9 doesn´t support overlaying reels. If this feature will be enabled in the next
update, then the Flasher behind the Reel will be visible. I don´t like to make walls as flasher, cause they have not that brightness than reels.
I just use it, when there is no other way. And all my tables are angle dependent, so I can work with much reels.

I only create 4:3 Tables, cause I am building an 4:3 Cabinet. I don´t like 16:9 Tables.

And CV and CFTBL are not one of my favorite Tables.

I will try to adjust the speed on the ramp in the next update.

Noticed ( Always forget about the 1024 BD )

To hit the Camera, you have to flip up the Left Flipper, so you have more Space to hit it. I have no problems hitting it. I played that Pin i guess 16 Hours for real. and that Flippersetting are just like in my Table. Just use the left flipper up, and you will hit it alot more times.
