The outer wall's control points were overlapping itself, so it's fixed now. Thanks for the screenshot. The fixed table is uploaded.

We all still greatly miss the contributions of Lander. I'm sure he's watching and smiling to see you've done a nice conversion of this sweet table TAB and destruk.
I never tire of the fun this one delivers.

if you need anything about this table i have the real machine .
its very hard to put the ball on the left ramp how can i move the angle of the table to do it more less inclinated??

[destruk]

Great! Do both bottom kicking targets kick on your real machine? Zaphod insisted the right one doesn't kick, but since we agreed the left one does, I think the right one should too.
If the left ramp is too hard to hit, perhaps changing the flipper settings would help? You can change the minimum and maximum table slope to be lower, or increase the speed of the flippers and start/end angles.

[Pin-Pete]

Thanks for release!

[TAB]

Yes -thinking table slope is good. Perhaps the speed of the flippers can be at 0,4 and streght 1,2
If it's a new one

[Liteuser]

Thanks for the VP9 version of Surf 'N Safari!

The flippers do seem a little weak on this VP9 version IMO, but Surf 'N Safari is a fun table to play and I have always liked it.

Thanks again for the release, I'm sure Lander would be happy to know his work is still being enjoyed on VP9.

Upload some video!

I'd love to see this table really in action!

[Marton]

Destruk, the right target doesn't kick on the real machine. The left one does.
Is it me or the plunge popper does not send the ball through the ramp to the right inlane but instead it sends it down the whirlpool ramp?
I agree, the flippers should be adjusted a little.

Keep it up guys!

Marton

[destruk]

ok, so the kicking target on the left is fine - and the standard target on the right is fine since it doesn't kick.
Should the plunger popper be sending the ball to the right inlane? I don't know - never played the real machine. We have it sending it down the whirlpool ramp in this currently, yeah.
Can anyone verify the wall layout under the whirlpool?
