Beleive it or not, this VPW mod was started in June 2020!

 

Based on the JPSalas version, this is one of the very first mods VPW attempted and has probably gone through more versions and more sets of hands than any other of our projects before, every time getting updated with whatever we were doing but never actually making it to release. Finally mcarter78 finally accepted the mission of getting it over the line and out the door, and here we are! (finally!)

I can't believe it. From out of nowhere  Ripley´s arrives!! So this has been a favorite table of mine for many years. I played the real table back in the day, and  was a big fan of JP´s original take on this.  I truly enjoyed his latest update from  November 2023. Now with some new VPW magic this table lives again. Physics are a  bit better,  but the biggest difference are the enhanced lights and graphics . The table now looks and feel much more like the original. VERY happy to enter the world of Ripley once more. This is another win for @VPinWorkshop

I can’t stop playing this. One of my favorite tables since there’s so much going on but it’s very easy to understand what you should be doing. Amazing in VR. Great work!

Very well designed table it looks so nice, but this one is pure evil.

Don't let the looks fool you this one will cause you pain and agony.

So because this table is very generous in giving out some points

I will give this table some points   _ _ _ _

 

Great work Team VPW

This has always been one fun table, and now that it has all the bells and whistles it's a go to pretty much every play session. The table looks fantastic and plays better....and in VR, she is a showpiece for sure. Thanks to all who had their hand in this and for sharing.

True to the real game. All shots possible in the real game are present, as well as the difficulty of said shots. Physics are top-notch (and script-intensive) per the usual with VPW, so make sure to maximize your single-thread CPU performance to the best of your system's ability in order to limit/prevent stutter. The ball image is a bit dark for me, so I swapped it for "ball-light-hf" which you likely have in another table to export from via VPX's Image Manager. 

 

The left-center ramp is a tricky devil (damn rubber post rightwards of the scoop), but it can be nailed consistently with a little practice :)

Everytime I see VPW release, I know is time to install a masterpiece, and say woooooooooow. Everything is perfect as usual and really thanks to all involved for doing this hobby in such a professional way. Your tables are absolutely stunning and a pleasure for my eyes. Waiting for the next one

Great job... Thank you so much VPW for making us dream again

VPW has brought this table to life with realistic playing physics and gorgeous looks. The rebuilt vari-target is so well tuned, and I love to hate it as you never have confidence that the shot is going to stick. The table plays tough with hungry outlanes, and punishes any loose shots (which is not tough to do 😉 ). Well done @mcarter78 and the rest of the VPW team, and thank you Primetime5k and the other testers for making sure that it plays true to the real table.

I was debating whether or not to sell the RBION in my collection. With this release it's a no-brainer. So long real machine! I have a VPW version now!

This game is not so easy to master and I can’t stop playing it 😁

This is really another masterpiece of the VPW team and a big thank you to JP SALAS.

Wonderful in VR with Reverb G2 👌

Well done by all involved!
