Star Gazer (Stern 1980) by arborelia

This is my first VPX modification. I based this on the version by @Felsir, with permission.

Star Gazer is one of my favorite pinball machines. I got to play it recently at Rochester Pinball Collective, and I watched the high-level competition on it on the stream of INDISC 2024. I wanted to make this VPX table play like what I'd played and seen. But none of this would be possible without having Felsir's version to start from.

This table is often about flow and on-the-fly shots, because the unusually low flipper angle stops you from trapping the ball very often. Time your shot to the upper drops - the first one you hit in the bank determines whether clearing the drops or ripping the top spinner is worth big points.

My changes (v2.0):

- Reworked the physics - more friction, slightly weaker flippers, stronger pops, weaker plunger, more flipper elastic.
- Fixed flipper angles and the position of the left flipper. They really do look like that -- these flippers at rest point downward more than other tables.
- Made physics sounds audible over the very loud beeps from the ROM. You're presumably running the table at a low volume overall.
- Increased the strength of digital nudging, but made the tilt more sensitive.
- Corrected some playfield text.

I'm happy to see further mods as long as they make things better.

Thanks to espie for playtesting.
