I am by no means a fan of original or modded tables unless done by a real company back in the day, but I love this one. Made me smile the whole time I played it. I never downloaded the Taito space shuttle because Bords was so great, good choice modding after that one. The pinup looks amazing. At first I was thinking, why did he put the score on the BG, but love it. Great job. And the plane looks great too!!
@Siggi…how the hell can you hate TopGun?????????????????

The only recommendation I would make, I like to keep the intensity of the red inserts down low, like 2-4, so you can read the writing if there is some. Also, if you cutout the holes on the PF image for the drop targets, standup targets and wire rollovers and use the inside of hole primitive it looks really nice.

Great job on the table otherwise, one of my favorite PUPs

Engage! So, even tho’ I don’t have pinup player, I was determined to play this table. So I spent the better part of the morning going through the script and commenting out line after line of pup stuff. Then would try to load and comment out any other error lines. And I got it running. Just table sounds and a few effects but it’s working. I just had to check out that ramp mod. Gotta say, this plays great. And love that ramp mod! I did check out the videos and wow, thanks for all the work that went into this. Very cool. Not sure I’ll get around to pinup player in the near future but I created a static b2s so I can throw it on my cab tonight and check it out further. Hm…guess I won’t be keeping score.
Graphics look fantastic. Very cool work with the plane. And since I’m hearing the table sounds loud and clear – – that spinner is perfect!!
Thanks again zimbakin and support crew. Much appreciated.   whoops, I think I forgot to hit the like/thanks buttons. Better get on that.

Not sure I’ll get around to pinup player in the near future…
You’re likely going to start missing out – PinupPlayer is starting to give some indications that it’s going to outright replace UltraDMD and DirectB2S Server as the backglass and DMD solution of choice in the next year or two, at bare minimum for original tables, and quite likely we’ll start seeing non ROM light backglasses for recreations being done this way.
I still need to sit down and design and write a tutorial to do what’s been done with this table on my part – picking out the byte values out of the PinMAME display driver, converting those into numbers, then making up a complete score that way that PinUp then displays. I found how to do it from one of the Modern Sterns to Not Be Named that was converted from Sea Witch, so this is likely only the second table to pull the trick to get a ROM score onto a PuP backglass. With enough work, one can actually extract (mostly accurate) text out of an alphanumeric (limitations of things like O vs 0, 5 and S, etc.), although displaying it works best using a similar style of font that accounts for the character sharing that winds up resulting.

Ended up fixing my problem. Was a Rom issue. Using a different Rom now and all good. Thank you for this beautiful table. I love the music, movie clips and that 80s feel. So good! No disrespect to the Space Shuttle table, but this mod is way more enjoyable. At least for me. Was never really a fan of the original table.
Out of curiosity, how difficult would it be to add Sega After Burners music to the table? It’s so fitting since the game was a spin off of Top Gun.

Glad you got it going.
To add music, simply drag an .mp3 to the [MusicGameplay] folder. Likewise, delete anything you’re not happy with.Never take advice from me,

@zimbakin Great mod, very well done, excellent pup implementation. I’m surprised more people haven’t commented on your clever “dead-end” ramp transformation, I think it’s brilliant in execution and combined with the dynamic action augmented by great sound effects helps this mod stand on it’s own. Many thanks for taking this up and to all who contributed!

Zimbakin, I like all of the music, just wanted to see if I could add more to it, which means I can. I can’t wait to add the afterburner music to it. I love the table so much and it’s been my favorite the last day or two. Can’t stop playing it. I’m having some stuttering which I have to figure out but other than that, I absolutely love it!! Thank you again for your hard work.Â

Great mod! The playfield graphics, the additional wireramp. Together with the great looking PUP Pack wich has nice videos and audio, scoring and that awesome looking HUD!
And the table is different enough to not conflict with Bord’s awesome Space Shuttle on the cab :)
Thank you for sharing.
I agree that a topper would be a very nice addition :)

Thanks for this. Lovely table and the pup backglass looks outstanding.
I have an issue though, when I launch the ball it gets stuck a few inches above place of launch.
I seem to be able to bypass by restarting the table.
Any ideas?
thanks

That’s an interesting one. I haven’t encountered this issue.
Check that you don’t have any buttons linked to the ‘C’ key for manual ball control…could be something’s activating that which would stop the ball.
Maybe try completely reseting the table, delete NVram etc. and see if that helps.Never take advice from me,
