I currently have a POTC that I am working on, and I have the ramp off to reveal lots of things underneath. Do you want any pics of this table while its apart? Looks like you could use a better pic of the compass. Let me know quick before it goes back together.

Yep makes sense. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply @bord. However I am not sure that answered my question. So I test deleted playfield_mesh, and playfield_holes, and the table still played. I was expecting the ball to fall into the abyss, but it did not. The ball still played.

So I am still wondering what collidable surface the ball is still rolling on. I dont think it can be…[Read more]

32 many thanks for this table. I love to see a new VP10 table that can replace an old VP9 table. Looks terrific.

One question. I am trying to find your “collidable” playfield surface. It appear that it should be the primitive “playfield_mesh”, but I dont think it is because if I delete that object, the ball still appears to play as it should. …[Read more]

Looks fantastic.

Many thanks for doing this backglass.

Oh no…no apparent DOF.

Do we need a table config in the DOF tool?

I did the restoration on this table recently. This is one really fun pin to play. Thanks LM for creating the VP10 version. Your works are greatly appreciated.

I would like to do an update on this one. But just don’t know when it would happen.

Damn, those look nice. I figured out your clear ramp mod for Space Shuttle. Bring on these bumper caps! ..speaking of that clear ramp mod, that would have been perfect for the Top Gun ramps. Especially the new dead-end extension. Hm.

Yup.

The table is now sitting at zero- units high. rather than being jacked up 200 units to allow the…[Read more]

Glad to help. Ive been shopping tons of real pins and have fed a ton of resources to loserman. I try to anticipate what others might need as well.

Bord,

Can i please get a pair of meshes for the ring and the cap without the ebd logo? I want to use these in my bbbb refresh.

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]
