Dear Lio,
as you are back again and as Steve doesn't want to modelize since 1st of january, I have some requests...

- one hole: ,


- an other hole: ,

- an extra orn-hole-trigger_slim: the same but 86 mm long...
- for the swing target, an extra option: surface.

I don't think it's hard but I don't know if you have time and the desire to do that...

Thanks in advance...

And a last (for the moment) thing: a plunger lane V cutout (without the plunger) with Surface as an option (in order to put it not on the main PF).

Just an other question: how to do with new models? I frequently asked for new models (simple as some specific wire or missing target, some more complex as vari target, some unique as target for Royal Flush). Unfortunately, I recreate some old pinballs without models for some parts and unfortunately, when I recreate, I consider I have to recreate it not perfectly but the more accurate I can.
If I have to forget this possibility, I have to envisage to left FP. Not a drama for me (and for the others too). I have to think about that, but, If I left, I'll make at least 2 tables: Ten Spot and Rolling Stones because two nice guys sent me really nice pics in order to recreate them.
And an other other question: yes, I know, you can create a beautifull original table without toys, but, a nice original with some toys (even basic) is more sexy, isn't it?????

It make me really sad that some of you think I don't want to help anymore. why would I risk the small chances left we have to get a new future pinball version before it expire by pissing Chris even more? A lot of feature are not implemented in VP and I dont see anyone saying they will quit development because of that..what is the part I am not getting?

here is what LIO wrote me:

"..to be honest i don't even have a dev version at hand to check whether it has expired... ever since i went to windows 7 rc i only installed the regular FP build, noticed that it had some problems with the aero theme at that time and didn't really bother anymore... will have to look for my last dev build somewhere on my backup hdd...

I think he meant to say "Won't modelize", instead of "doesn't want to modelize"... Then you changed it to "Doesn't want to help". Don't be sad, it must be a French/French Canadian language barrier.

I know that you want to help, but I think you are making the right decision with your dev software expiring. Even though I would really like to see new models made, I respect your decision.

If Lio wants to continue making custom models, I would also respect that decision.

You are right. Steve, I really know you are a man who helps. I just want to say: as Steve doesn't want to use the dev edition for ethical reasons (and I agree with that), ...
And what I want to say also: without new models and without new (public and free) release, it's a little bit hard for me to continue. And, for the moment, I'm not really optimistic about a new free release as long as the forum will be off (a new release without supoport forum is a non sense, isn't it?).

Popotte, I look forward to and love all the tables you do, so I hope you'll continue to release tables, even if it's only with models currently available. Also, I find it hard to believe Black put so much time and effort into FP and now he's willing to abandon it, so I'm optimistic and hopeful everthing will work out.
