You got it guys =)
Here are some photos of my airplane, one while I was building it, an inflight photo, and some on the ground.

Really really ….Reeeeeally nice build Gwen! Looks fantastic!
Amazing Craftsperson would be more correct Randr, get with the times!
Seriously Gwen, superb work. Frankly I’m jealous (in a good way) of your skills! I’m retiring in about two years and I’ve got all kinds of ideas for the cabs that will lead me to maybe taking a woodworking course and electrical engineering (or whatever it’s called) so I can stop relying on others! LOL. Really nicely done, I love the speaker mesh
Thanks so much for your kind words. In my entire life if there is one thing I have learned it is that I am a maker. I am just not happy if I am not creating something. I am by no means an expert at everything I do but I try not to let that stop me. You should see some of the other things I have built =) I am a private pilot and ten years ago I scratch built my own replica Fokker DVIII WWI fighter plane and test flew it. There are too many interesting things in the universe for me to do to ever allow me to be bored. I love pinball and when I realized I could build my own virtual pinball cabinet I jumped all over it. I am definitely enjoying the experience as well as the new people I have met along the way!

You must have something setup incorrectly for key preferences and nudge. That shouldn’t happen but I will double check script
OK you can disregard that report. I think the nudge sensitivity on my Zeb’s ball launcher was jacked up at the time. It seems to be fine now.

An issue I discovered by accident is that if you hit the flipper buttons after starting the game but before launching the ball the “gate guardian” captive balls rattle around enough to register as hits. I killed both gate guardians without ever launching the ball.

I finally found some high quality original vintage speaker fabric which just arrived today. I think the backbox looks much better for it. And since it is acoustically transparent there is no difference in sound quality or volume.

It is better to put all the sample in this table to the backglass than to keep them all in the table as it is now. Sound becomes clearer and louder.
I agree that I would prefer all the sounds except mechanical go to the backbox. With all those other samples going to mechanical sound my entire cabinet is constantly rumbling due to the internal speakers I am using for the mech sounds. And the non mech sounds are not as clear as I would hope for.

In the home stretch on the initial work now. I still need to have a piece of glass cut, to refinish the legs, and put a few coats of polyurethane on the cabinet. Here are a couple of recent photos. I will get some better quality shots and videos up once most of the work is done.

The cabinet is coming along nicely. I’m still working on getting the stain tones a little more even and then need to put a good top finish on it. I also still need to sand the finish off the legs and re-stain them. I put ball casters on the legs which make the cabinet much easier to move around by myself.

No resolution yet. I managed to get Tron Legacy to work ok. But I am having problems with most of the pup packs I have tried. MOTU does the same thing as Stranger Things, the backglass loads and runs to the end of the loop then pupdisplay freezes and is unresponsive.
The same thing happens when I run the packs from the pup pack test app too.
And yes, I am running 32 bit VLC 2.28.

They’re just 5 white led’s each. I was a little concerned about that at first but they don’t seem to bother me while I’m playing.

Here’s a quick little (kinda crummy) video showing my reworked vacuum tube lighting and the strobes I made for the backglass.

Just the two so far. I will try a few others and see what happens.
