Initial announcement from Jeff:
Hang Glider (Bally 1976)
https://www.ipdb.org...ine.cgi?id=1112
 
The 4 player variant of Hi-Deal
 
Playfield from IPDB, plastics purchased and scanned by me. Backglass I'm pretty sure is one I did as well, but could be Wildman's - been years since I originally made it.
 
1st playfield update by updon719
 
My view on Hang Glider:
I have never seen the game in real. I understand this game as answer to Gottlieb's Surf Champ. But this is the 1st game I cooperated with my "pinball teacher" Martin Brunker (he gave me the lessons and hints when I stated from scratch 7 1/2 years ago). Not knowing what updon719 did in the meantime (thank you for that) Martin has painted a new playfield, it is now part of the game's version "d" I offer here.
 
What else have I changed:

- new physic (cab optimized)
- slight layout change -> reduces ball losses at outer side lanes
- pegs and rubbers now under the plastic - at the spinner
- switch lever at spinner added
- screws added where missing
- many new (nearly all) sounds e.g. gates, stand up targets, drop targets, kicker holes ....
- new sound sequences for ball release and choosing more than 1 player
- new extra ball routine (I had not seen that Jeff already corrected the flaw)
- randomize for angle and force for the kicker hole
- all lights under plastic are adjusted in brightness, lights added - not original, but looking well
- corrected scoring with the mini buttons at top of the playfield
- improved ball and ball position in the plunger lane
- new timing for ball release
- new POV for cab use
- the plastics illumination stays always on (the original behavior of all Bally EMs)
- ZIP contains game, BG and PF pics for cab users
 
Version 1.0e
- all object sounds in operation, you can adjust the volume with the parameter OV (objects volume) in line 15
 
All this in kind tribute to Jeff Whitehead.
