Some Keys Don't Respond

[Nightvoice]

When I load a table using VPX 10.8, the keys to position/size the table work and I can insert coins and press start and the plunger works, but I'm absolutely unable to get any reaction from the flippers.  I manually set them in the keys screen and even tried using the defaults (3 and 4), but no luck.  Any thoughts?

I believe the default flipper keys are Right and Left Shift keys. Have you tried assigning those keys?

3, 4, and 5 are default Coin Slot keys.

On my system the default flippers (which I never changed) are 3 and 4.  I tried your idea and still no response.  When I hit 3/4/5/6 I get coin noise but no credits are added.  No problems noted in versions I use prior to 10.8.  I'm on Windows 7 if that makes a difference.  Everything in the launch chain is running as administrator.

What odd system are you on ? Default keys is like Charles says. Left and Right shift for flippers. Right and Left Cntr for magna save. This behavior can be changed though, in several way.s. One is VPMKeys.vbs in scripts folder. Then you have the options in the gui. Note however, that when you go from 10.7 to 10.8, the first time. The settings is written to %appdata%\roaming\visual pinball\VPinballx.ini - take a look at that file. Maybe you can pick up something that to you is obvious. Also. You can rename that file ... start the VPX 8 again, go to a site like diffchecker.com and paste the newly created file and paste the renamed one. This to compare differences - if any.
