Thanks for all the uploads of nice old tables.

 

But how can I reduce the speed. I think, they are too fast. You can see it in youtube-Videos.

Is it possible to reduce it global? Or must I change the physics for every piece?

[-=Kees=-]

Hello,

 

I compare the speed and physics with my real Band Wagon pinball, however, my Band Wagon pinball is still a bit faster and sometimes unpredictable.

In the past I fixed also real pinball machines. After waxing the playfield with Goldcat or similar playfield cleaner, the pinball tables plays even faster and more accurate.

What I see on Youtube the tables are far too sluggish.

 

Fur the US people, I think also with 60 Hz power line frequency, the magnets are less strong. (Higher impedance at 60 Hz).

 

You can reduce the table angle to 4 or 4.5. 

The bumper force, you can reduce it to 8

Slingshot force, I would then say, reduce it to 4.

For flippers you van reduce the strength by a few hundreds.

For these parameters, you can save a global setting.

 

Normally I try to use the standard parameters values and don't tweak too much.

Hello Kees,

 

thank you for making this table available, it was my first pinball, bought in 1976 (price was in today's currency 40 €). Played it for about 2 years.

 

Now my request: can you please add the FS version into the existing file? 

 

this is what I get when driving it as FS:

your support will be highly appreciated,

You can easily change the view of the table via the properties. Start with changing the angle to 270 and than use the camera optiion (under play menu) to suit the view to your liking .

Hi Senseless & Community,

 

the FS setting are already 270°. The game seems not be prepared to runs as FS. The backglass is part of the image set of the game, however how and where is it to be prepared to run as backglass on the 2nd monitor(see my screenshot in post #5)? E.g. Buccaneer does everything in the way it seem to be foreseen....

 

Thanks, Christian.

Thanks, Christian.

Do you download the mod here: http://www.vpforums....&showfile=12235

This one is for FS and works fine.

Thank you,

 

now I have my first pinball back again on the screens.

 

appreciate your advise, Christian.
