The less you see, the more you feel.

 

Never having heard of it, Wylte played the real machine in the wild and was instantly enamored.  It happened to come up a couple months later in a discussion with Lumigado and Dapheni and that very night Wylte added nFozzy’s flipper tricks to Ninuzzu’s excellent recreation.  From there it was supposed to be a very lite upgrade, but Skitso made the lighting look so good that Wylte had to learn every VPW trick (short of a full scan and render) to be worthy of it!  Luckily he took his sweet time and other members were able to hop in and add even more (and fix his rookie mistakes).

 

After releasing 1.0, Wylte bought the real machine! And then kept tweaking the VPX for a year...

 

This VPW Table Tune-Up features:  nFozzy physics, Lampz, Flupper flashers, Fleep sounds, Skitso lighting overhaul, 3D inserts, Roth targets, Apophis sling corrections, Rawd & Leojreimroc VR Room and functioning VR backglass, new art assets, new ramp models, physical table mesh, staged flippers, Dynamic Ball Shadows, Fluffhead35 RampRolling sound code.

Lighting See Me - Skitso, Wylte

Physics Feel Me - Wylte, Apophis

VR Touch Me - Leojreimroc, Rawd, Sixtoe

VPX 10.7 now has anaglyph 3D built in (look under 3D stereo output options in graphics preferences) but I personally prefer reshade/superdepth3D combo as it renders better in my opinion (its a bit slower though). I wrote a quick and dirty install tutorial at https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=48019&p=489825

 

I got the Reshade+ Superdepth to work on Tommy (and other tables). It is quite amazing (after adjusting values for more depth) and quite a lot better than the 10.7 built in 3D! Thanks for that . Only downside: I get a bit of a headache when using it for a long time :)

Thank you for the updated table, your team does some incredible work!

 

The version of this table that I currently have is great, can't wait to try out this one.

Awesome upgrade on a fun table.  Thanks VPW again!

 

The ver 500 of the ROM should just get popped into your ROM folder with nothing else needed.

 

And I highly recommend the altsound file.  All DE tables seem have some background music that I just don’t dig as much anymore.

Suggest playing with the sliders for separation, divergence and ZPD. Your eyes may be attempting to counteract a setting that is too extreme and causing eye strain.

Big thanks to the VPW team!

 

"The Who" was the pinball table I used to play when I was 16-20 in my home town and the reason I started to build a VPIN cabinet.

I make my own small tweaks to an earlier version to get the plunger working and SSF, but this version is so slick and beautiful - thanks a lot!

Really awesome table! Thank you... 

 

...but is there any way to lower the volume on the propellers on the plane?  They seem really loud compared everything else on the table.

 

Thanks again!

Press F2 (when in the editor) and adjust this sound to your liking.
