Expressway from Bally (1971)

Hey you're getting better at this Rich! Nice job sir

Thank you for this table.

For information, a good backglass image is available here : https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/media/expressway-bally-1970-backglass-version-1.8896/

WOW!  What a great surprise!

Thank you PinRich!

If you can just modify the eos torque for flipper down (inside the script) from 0,15 to 0,65 and it is much better, the flipper are more responsive

I tuned a little bit only the physic:

- increased playfield friction

- flipper more responsive

- Slinghot values modifed to be more strong

- plunger shot improved increased the paramenter MaxVel inside the script

Let me now if you fell better:

Expressway (Bally 1971) PinRich 0.0 - SorbeppeMOD.vpx

Thank you for this table.

I love the Bally tables from that area!

Thx for sharing.

Thanks for the update guys, the table looks much nicer! 

Anytime one of the most prolific EM Underdogs members gets involved it's guaranteed to be a great upgrade!

Thanks Cliffy!!!

Great update.

Try these parameters for a fine physic tuning on 1.0 version:

- decreased gravity costant from 1 to 0,97

- flipper are more responsive (more quick) and increased power from 1200 to 1300

- Slinghot values modifed to be more strong

- plunger shot improved increased the paramenter MaxVel inside the script

First of all the visual update is stunning and I was so looking for this after the first release so great job! I know and recognize the work of several EM veterans  and many thanks to the original author for starting the work on this table. However, I noticed the severe performance downgrade, dropped frames and lag in the new table, something that I don't see with other, even super polished, EM tables. Yes, my GTX belongs to history but still, haven't seen this with other EMs? Any ideas? Can this be fixed?

hmm - try going into the F12 menu, then in the options on page 3 make sure flipper physics is set to standard and limit ball velocity is no.  Both of those use a fairly fast timer, that probably uses a lot of cpu.  I have a fairly old machine and haven't noticed a problem myself, but everyone's setup is unique.  You could try also closing the backglass "B2s" - to see if there's some kind of conflict there.  On a few tables I think it messes with my flippers.

Turning off ball velocity limiter and setting b2s animations to off improved my performance significantly. I'm still not sure which one was a bigger issue, kinda suspecting the backglass server. Anyhow thank you so much PinRich!!!

Thanks a lot for sharing another cool table, PinRich!

I made new plastics from some cool pictures from The IPMD and retrace your playfield on Illustrator. The playfield just needs to adjust a couple of lights. All the plastics need some minor adjustment but  I put a white outline to make the changes a bit easier. 

Thank you.

It would be nice to have an option in the F12 menu to hide the side rails for cabinet users.

In fact, that should be a default option for all tables... or even better, hiding them automatically in cabinet mode.

Thank you for the upgrade 

Thank you for updating this table. The improvements are greatly appreciated, and the result is fantastic. Excellent work and thanks again for your dedication!
