Thanks. By the way, I picked up a real Black Knight recently and I am currently giving it a ground-up restoration. Think you might be able to help me out with another laser etched plexi topper?

Anyone noticing that Rudy’s mouth and the trapdoor are working slow, or in slow-motion? They are on my cab anyway. I have seen this before, but it cleared up. But now its back.

Let me know and if there is an issue, I will get it fixed.

Fantastic mod. Very well done. Really enjoying it.

Thanks.

Roth, if you wanna add the latest to my latest fh release. I can do an a-b comparison.

Nice i will be in touch.

Its been a few weeks since i could do much with it. But i hit it pretty hard the last couple days. CP is starting the prims and all table objects and ramps are correctly scaled. It is really coming along nicely.

Sorry I have not been able to chime in a lot on this one. Just been busy as Hell with real pins. I am very thankful for Roth for beating this horse some more. :)

Roth,

If you want to take my latest release FH and dial your flipper physics in, I can do a side by side comparison to my real FH.  Any chance you found a way to hack more friction…[Read more]

Sorry for the long delay. I ditched that card long ago since it just did not have enough horsepower. I am now running a 970GTX IIRC.

Friction.

Imagine a ball rolling down a metal ramp. It rolls fast.

Now imagine that same ramp is coated with rubber. The ball is going to roll slower.

I actually did a test on one of my real pins where I used a rubber on the bat, and no rubber on the bat. The intent of no rubber was to simulate a surface that is much harder and therefore…[Read more]

…to add to my last comment. When I do a successful post pass from left to right. As the ball rolls into the “trap point” and up the flipper. It rolls up the flipper is if its made of diamond meaning that it rolls too fast and smooth, rather than the way it roll if there was a rubber band there.

Once again I really think one of the missing links…[Read more]

Roth,

Can you think of anyway of hacking extra “friction” into the flipper when in the raised position. I have played numerous machines recently and the ball wants to reduce its velocity as it moves across the raised flipper much more than what I have been able to accomplish in VP. Any way to hack a tiny “brake” into it as it rolls up the flipper?

Really REALLY enjoying these tables. I think we need a Zeppelin table next ;)

Yeah Roth and I beat the flipper trajectory issue to death, seemingly for years. I still very much believe that if there were a “functional” higher friction setting…higher than 1, it would help with that issue. I typically use friction of 1 for every rubber on the field, but anything above 1 seems to have no effect. I would really like to see…[Read more]

Very close to finishing my latest rev of BBBB:

• Prim playfield for better saucer physics. Plus the PF reflections are back.
• Table is no longer raised by 200 units. It now on a zero-plane so that the ball wont be as egg shaped, and custom backdrops will look better.
• Now using prim PF inserts for greater detail and better lighting. Thanks…

Any word on if Spooky is still maybe willing to provide resources to make a virtual TNA? I really want to have this table in VP.

Former field service technician, that now does “engineering” work, to better the field service experience. Or in other words, a gear-head that overseas the development of a product, to ensure the engineers don’t design something that cant be fixed.

Just saw the note, that there are no sling animations. Is this by design? Does the real pin not have slings?

Loos fantastic. Is there a media pack anywhere? I dont see one.
