This is a mod of JP's excellent Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines table with the aim to recreate the original machine as closely as possible for desktop users. The gameplay is almost identical to version 3.0.1 of JP's table.
The main change is the handling of the RPG mini game which is embedded in the backbox on the real machine. The backglass elements have been rearranged with the RPG game recreated in that space. This is similar to how I did it on the older VPX version but this uses a rotating primitive instead of lights and is much more realistic. Graphical changes were done as well to support this including a "stock" apron, side blades, flippers and a fixed light.
***Note: it is NOT recommended to change the viewing angle in any way. The RPG is not actually on the backglass within Visual Pinball and changing the angle will break the illusion and it make it more difficult to play.***
Special thanks to JP Salas for this incredible table and permission to release this mod.
