Ok, so I've never actually completed a VP build before so take this thread with a grain of salt.... If anyone else is working on this feel free to continue with your build as I'm not making any promises to complete this.  I'm going to work on this as much as I can, but I'm not an artist nor a coder, so no promises.  If anyone would like to work with me on this, particularly with coding and lighting please let me know.

 

I started building this yesterday so I'm not that far along yet.

well without a table and manual, it will be difficult, but not impossible, put king kong rom into torpedo alley and play with the service menu, change some switches to display their names on the menu and we can guess where they are.

 

I'm not a table builder, but i know so much about switches and solenoid mappings, let me know if you need help ;)

This is a very cool table. I played it before and there are some neat things like the animated slings, ball locks, interesting exits, and a very flashy backglass.

 

So if you are using the future pinball version for some layout ideas, there are some corrections to it.

According to an owner: The skill shot should go to the upper right playfield to spell APE, not going into the pops.

 

It will be cool to control the game once and for all with the newly dumped roms.

 

Also HEP posted a nice gameplay video of one of 3 King Kongs he is restoring.

Very interesting about the skillshot...  I exported the blueprints from the FP version and have been using that as a base to create this one.  One of my issues was that when I do a plunge the ball wants to go up the ramp and not into the jets. I've been adjusting the shooter lane.

I've gotten a bit further on the build.  Thanks to Rascal; we were able to export the jet bumpers and get them setup as animated primitives.  They look great.  I am having issues with how to build the multiple entrance ramp on the left side of the playfield.  We exported the FP ramp model and imported it into VP.  It looked great but the back of the model is too high and would cause the other ramp to become too steep.  I think I'm going to have to build the ramp in VP instead of going the model route.  

On a better note... I have the skill shot working like the video.  The plunge shot goes up the ramp and onto the upper playfield with the APE lights.  Also got the posts on the upper playfield positioned and looking good.  Of course my building skills aren't comparable to our other authors, but I think what I've done so far isn't too bad.  Going to try and tackle the multiple targets if I can figure out P1's tutorial.

 

P1 did some basic GI this evening.
