Thanks for answering.Really appreciate it. Im running 10.6.0 rev 3653 32 bit. Hmm, just had a thought, is there a 64 bit version?

Not yet. I suspect some combination of “it still works” and “it’s so much work” that’s kept it 32 bit this long. I’m waiting for Microsoft to announce they’re pulling the 32 bit rug out, and then there’ll be the debate about whether or not to actually fix it since “most people should be running Windows 7 on their pincabs”…

Try this version 10.6.0 rev 3592 because 3653 is still got some odd quirks going on that they have to figure out

Thanks, awesome effort. Magnificent. Plays awesome as is, but when I change dimensions(I do with all tables for desktop on TV/monitor) I get Fatal Error shader compilation failed! Unknown (0xfffffff) -some directory references- then renderdevice.ccp:802
to be specific I changed incl and fov, as I do with every other table. Never had an issue before but this one crashes.
Happens with this and Adams Family. Running 10.6
I find you have to save a change close vpx and then reopen and test/play. It makes authoring painful but otherwise get this error frequently losing the changes. I’ve also read some versions of the beta are more likely to crash if you are using a .pov file. I’d just bake the change in if that is not working for you.
Incremental save while you are trialling settings.

I am gonna guess that these occasional errors are due to the insane number of objects, lights, flashers etc., that are in the table. That seems to make the table extremely resource hungry. and prone to some weirdness from time to time. I can also clearly see that the table runs best on initial startup, but the longer you play without exiting the table. The more dicey it can get. So I would recommend playing it through a front-end like PinballX or other.
And G5K is right. Making the table with the countless errors and crashes, was a terrific PITA. I cant tell you how many times I had to back-pedal and rebuild things when these errors popped up. I was very good at saving progress as I went, but still got bit several times. So ultimately, I am not sure if its VP, CPU, GPU or memory that has the hard time with the table. But would really love to find out so the issues can be looked at. Because tables going forward, are going to become much more demanding, like this one.

thanks. Worked a treat. What a table. I used to look at FP tables and wished VP tables looked as good, but still had VP physics. Well I gotta say this is better than any recreation I’ve ever seen.

Great update to an already fantastic table! The physics are excellent and all the visual touches are icing on the cake. The ball flying around is great fun but it is still posing some issues. I had a ball stuck in the pic below. After a hit off the ramp targets it flew over to that spot and got stuck. Also had the ball land between the ramps and slow the table to a crawl but luckily I was able to nudge that one free and continue playing. Thank you again Wrd and everyone that helped along the way.

Que question is… can the real table had the ball stuck at that same point?

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the update to this table it looks really good. Is there a way to disable the airball feature?

I don’t understand why you would want to do that. But, of course, this is VP so it can be done. The easiest way would be to give the ball more mass. But, be aware. That will effect everything. If you really don’t like it. Stick with 1.3 as it is awesome too.

Yes the airballs can be disabled in the script. But there are no plans to add a disabling this feature. If anything, the feature will continue to evolve as issues are encountered. And I agree with Thal. Why would one want to disable them in the first place? It adds to the overall PInball experience. But each to his own.
 Balls a flying is Pinball. And as I have mentioned before, that my real FH is notorious for flying balls.Okay so I have a new rev coming out with several fixes, to resolve stuck balls when they get launched. I have added some invisible shields plus the Physical Ramps (wire ramps) have been completely redone. Now there is no way of getting a ball stick, between the “wire” ramps.
Also Schreibi34 has redone many of the visual metal objects to make them much more shiny, similar to a chrome like appearance. The metal walls look fantastic. I also added in a few missing visual details too. But nothing really different in terms of physics and such.
If anyone has encountered other ball sticks or other visual issues. Please let me know now.

Love the flying balls, VP has never felt more authentic. Personally I didn’t think this level of realism was ever going to be possible in virtual pinball. Wrd1972 has has been scrutinizing every aspect of VP, from real-feel physics, to improving kickers, to making airballs possible. Kudos to wrd1972 for never giving up on improving the virtual experience, we’re lucky to have him!

I love the way this version looks, the lighting and everything and I appreciate the effort to recreate some of the real behavior of a real pin. My only disappointment with it except the ball seem to completely randomly appear elsewhere. Maybe I am confusing the air balls with table stutter. Not had this problem with anything else.

Thanks for the compliments guys.
But please give some props to BorgDog. I kind of started with his air balls scripting, and schmoozed it to my liking.

Thanks BorgDog and wrd1972!
Finally got a chance to play a few games yesterday of this thing. Yep, it’s pretty awesome, the airballs all happen in a realistic way but what I love the most about this game is the fact I miss a lot of shots for the right reasons. IE: feels like I just missed and I need to do better. I had one really good game out of 4, lost a few shots SDTM because of missed shots. It’s really deserving of the accolades so thanks all who contributed to it!

Thanks for the work that has gone into this and sharing. Just one note, I hit the orbit and the ball coming down at speed skipped over the top of the left lane guide/plastic and drained. Maybe the plastics need to be set to be collidable too? I didn’t check to see. Great work.

G5K,
I am wrapping up my rev now. Are you referring to “pPlastic24”?
Some more FH eye candy on the way folks.
