====================================================================
Brendan Bailey is one of FP's classic "original" table authors. EVERYTHING on this table was made by him! The layout, art, music, sounds, code. Such an amazing work of passion deserves to be updated to be enjoyed by a new generation of virtual pinball lovers!
I wanted to update to a classic FP "original" table to bring it up to my own modern day BAM standards, add my PinEvent V2 features, and completely update the table with FizX physics. The result is an excellent table that plays great with modern dynamic lighting, shadowmaps, ray cast shadows, and full cabinet support.
====================================================================
This table has been fully updated with FizX for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. The old Future Pinball physics are GONE! FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!
PinEvent V2
This table is also updated to fully support PinEvent V2 features (DOF, PUP SSF, PUP DMD). It has modern PUP DMD display options that can work with all setups. With it's crisp HD text and dazzling videos, it's sure to wow everyone who sees it.

====================================================================
*** This table is single player only ***
====================================================================
Desktop Static Camera Views
- during attract mode only, you can press plunger to toggle integrated static desktop camera views
- if you want to use your own BAM camera settings, or a FP camera view, then you must disable this feature in TABLE OPTIONS in the table script
G.I. colour and Brightness
Special key / button 1 = change G.I. colours
Special key / button 2 = change G.I. brightness
Second Stage Flippers
- this table supports second stage flippers for cabinet players with this setup
- this needs to be enabled in TABLE OPTIONS in the table script
- ensure that your Second Flippers are setup in FP Control Settings
- ensure that your Special 1 and Special 2 keys / buttons are NOT the same keys / buttons as Second Flippers! (they are by default)
====================================================================
BAM Ray Cast Ball Shadows:
- this table was created to look best with the new BAM Ray Cast Ball shadows
- this feature is ENABLED on the table script by default
- this feature requires a fast video card, and will use much more of your GPU
- if the table doesn’t run smooth, then your PC may not be fast enough to handle this feature (and you should disable it)
BAM Menu - Light and Post Processing settings:
- BAM Lighting and Post Processing settings are set by the table script and will ALWAYS override the user's settings
- this is required to ensure that all lighting is set correctly at all times
- on this table, you can make changes to the Ambient and Diffusion Lighting in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS
Physics: FizX v3.3
===================================================================
Game not running smooth? Try the following:
- run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
- disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS (in table script)
- disable Reflections options in FP's Video / Rendering settings
- reduce / disable Antialiasing in FP's Video / Rendering settings
- disable any SSAO options in BAM plugins menu (disabled by default)
====================================================================
TABLE REQUIREMENTS (very important!)
- all Visual C Runtime updates
- DirectX
- Future Pinball
- the latest BAM update
- FuturePinball.exe and FPLoader.exe patched for 4 GB access
- BAM Settings files installed
- FizX 1K ball model (for more accurate physics, default.zip in BAM folder)

All of the above is included with the latest FP and BAM Essentials AIO package!
Super easy to use for a new install, or just to update your existing install. I recommend everyone install this package to ensure you have the latest required BAM updates.
