    The update is just about done.

    The initial release has undergone a lot of changes. There have been countless improvements to physics, visuals and sound. I manged to log some time playing the real BOP and I am confident in saying, the VP tables plays very much like the real thing. Wont be much longer for the release.

     

    Physics related revisions:

    • Some minor rubber physics changed (Based off playing the real machine). The small post rubbers elasticity dialed back just a bit.
    • Ball size now to scale.
    • PF slope increased to speed up the ball action.
    • Lower PF kicker hole kick force greatly increased.
    • Upper PF floor, posts and rubbers now to near exact scale.
    • DrainĀ  post added as a switchable option
    • Slingshots walls and objects completely redone. No more hit & miss in responsiveness.
    • Crossover ramp ball speed increased.
    • Glitchy ball lock issue (could drop both balls together) fixed.
    • Crossover VP ramp redone to precisely match prim ramp.

    Visuals

    • Ball lock area switch animations now fixed.
    • 1-way gate plates/wires closing speed now much more realistic.
    • Helmet lighting better dialed in.
    • Eyes and mouth lighting better dialed in.
    • Eyes and mouth kick-out solenoids added to face.
    • All micro-switch arms now animated.
    • Wire ramp prim below the face now to scale.
    • PF shadows added
    • Pop-bumper skirts now blue in color
    • Shooter lane gate bracket added.

    Sounds:

    • JPs ball rolling and collision sounds added
    • Shooter lane wire ramp sound added.
    • Crossover ramp sounds added.
    • Ball return to shooter (dropping on rail) sound added.

    Many thanks to Rothbauerw and Markrock76 for their recent contributions to the table.
