ohhhh yeahhhhhh, putting on cab within minutes, thanks guys.  Looks amazing, really fun watching this come together in the WIP thread.

[Joppnl]

oooh yes...here it is!! Great!! Thank you!

[Rajo Joey]

Thanks to all who are involved. Another great teamwork and fantastic art!

Thanks for this great release.

Thx ganja, fired up my cab ... took a beer and had fun with this awesome release

[Jeffrey Spender]

thank you, for another fine VPX release.

[Slydog43]

Got this working with Pinsound files and it sound great in the cab.  Not sure why I have never done this before.

 

Anyway great table, but after playing 3 games I have seen some strange ball movements.  I seem to read that too much ball spin does this.  One spot on the table that does it is around the right flipper (must be something strange there).  Also happens sometimes around the lower right 3 targets.  Ball seems to take strange turns.

Great table though, just throwing some things out.  I’m going to look but I really don’t know what I’m doing with physics (I looked but can't find anything, 0.2 friction for targets)

 

anyone else notice strange ball behavior anywhere on the table?

 

 

Never played a full game of this on the PinCab, since I have a real getaway.  Not sure how to change up/down gears in Video mode.  Any Ideas?

VPX magna save buttons for gear shift is working for me.

 

About ball behavior i have no idea, maybe it's just ball rotation? I've played many many hours and didn't noticed anything weird.

 

Looking forward for more info man, you own the thing so you can help improve vpx version for sure.

Awesome result - thanks a lot to everyone

Turned off analog nudge and all seemed fine! so that is GREAT

 

Not sure I like magna save to change gears, since its so much easier than taking your hands off the flippers to change gears, but I guess you have to have it that way.  GREAT TABLE!!!!

[vogliadicane]

I LOVE IT!

 

3 things:

 

the ball looks in my setup (Cab) extremely bright. I don't know, any table with the default HDR ball always looks wrong from some reason (at least for me). I exchanged it with the one attached. Looks good now.

 

I think the flippers could have a bit more power

 

I also have the weired ball behaviour as Slydog mentioned

 

Anything else, this looks so fuc*ing hot.

Had much fun with this table release - played near three hours with a real 80´ is feeling (the table, the music and voices); amazing. My wife too ... new favourite in my cab. Changed flipper settings a bit (mass from 1.0 to 1.6 and strength from 2085 to 3000) ...

 

i took another ball too ...  like vogliadicane the chromeball_28 (looks very good with this table). Somtetimes, near the flipper area, the ball seems to get more weight ? it falls really down ... don´t know to tell this in english.

Changed the ball image and got a ball stuct.  Could not nudge it since I turned off my analog nudge (forgot I could have used the keyboard).  It just came to rest on the post.

 

Having a blast with the table.  So close in many ways to the original.  Not perfect, but I think we will get there

not happened to me yet ... changed the ball too and played near 3 hours. lets see; at thursday i have free time to continue playing / testing.

[ganjafarmer]

It weird ball behavior is noticable in this video?

 

 

Btw. thanks for gameplay videos man.

[Slydog43]

only part that might be strange is at 43 seconds in when the ball comes off the upper flipper area and seems to move in an un natural direction towards the lower flipper.  Might be spin.  This is nothing like I was seeing.  I will turn back on my analog nudge and record a video to show you what I mean tomorrow.  Have to go out now and might be drunk later.

 

 

This table is sooo cool it made me play my real one again today.  That is a great complement for VP and devs that created this table!   Thanks guys

[ganjafarmer]

Also check 'Nudge Time' setting, i've changed it to 10 (default is 5).

 

I've added some playfield friction so spinning ball like to change direction, sometimes it looks weird because you don't feel and see rotation of the ball like you see on real pins.

 

Maybe change 'Playfield friction' setting to 0,075 and Gravity Const to 1,01 - spinning ball won't change direction so easy but table will be a bit faster (lighter ball feeling).

 

Have fun and feel free to report any issues guys.

[markrock76]

The inlanes, Wall 449 and 274 have a friction of 0 which is definitely going to contribute to unnatural spin.  Probably need .25 or .3.  Also Gate5 has a friction of 0 and if the ball glances off of it it can contribute to weird spin at other points on the table usually near flippers.  A lot of the walls have a friction of .02 while other walls have a fiction of .2 so I don't know whether that is intentional but I changed all on mine to .2 and all seems to be playing really well.  

 

This is a great table and I'm really enjoying it.  Some interesting flipper setting also!
