F-14 Tomcat - Afterburner (PinEvent V2, FizX 3.3)


F-14 Tomcat - Afterburner (PinEvent V2, FizX)

 

Version: 1.9 (Feb 2024)

 

This is SLAMT1LT’s F-14 Tomcat (Ultimate Pro 1.01) table which has been updated to my AFTERBURNER and PinEvent V2 mod. It has been completely updated to use the newest BAM features to create an amazing real-time visual treat with cool new additions, as well as excellent new mechanical sounds from FLEEP!

 

See new features such as real beacon lighting, new mesh inserts with animated RGB lighting effects, new shadowmaps, ray cast shadows, updated playfield art, and more. I’ve added options to change between Modern / Original / AfterBurner music and Modern or Arcade (AfterBurner) PUP-Pack displays at any time during gameplay!

 

This table has been fully updated with FizX physics for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy physics on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!

PinEvent V2

 

This table is also updated to fully support PinEvent V2 features (DOF, PUP SSF, PUP DMD). It has modern PUP DMD display options that can work with all setups. With it's crisp HD text and dazzling videos, it's sure to wow everyone who sees it.

Desktop Static Camera Views (attract mode)

 

  • during attract mode only, you can press plunger to toggle integrated static desktop camera views

====================================================================

 

 

BAM Ray Cast Ball Shadows:

 

  • this table was created to look best with the new BAM Ray Cast Ball shadows
  • this feature is ENABLED on the table script by default
  • this feature requires a fast video card, and will use much more of your GPU
  • if the table doesn’t run smooth, then your PC may not be fast enough to handle this feature (and you should disable it)

 

To disable this feature, you MUST disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script)

 


BAM Menu - Light and Post Processing settings:

 

  • BAM Lighting and Post Processing settings are set by the table script and will ALWAYS override the user's settings
  • this is required to ensure that all lighting is set correctly at all times
  • on this table, you can make changes to the Ambient and Diffusion Lighting in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS

 


Physics: FizX v3.3


===================================================================


Game not running smooth? Try the following:

 

  • run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
  • disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS (in table script)
  • disable Reflections options in FP's Video / Rendering settings
  • reduce / disable Antialiasing in FP's Video / Rendering settings
  • disable any SSAO options in BAM plugins menu (disabled by default)

 


====================================================================


TABLE REQUIREMENTS (very important!)

 

  • all Visual C Runtime updates
  • DirectX
  • Future Pinball
  • the latest BAM update
  • FuturePinball.exe and FPLoader.exe patched for 4 GB access

All of the above is included with the latest FP and BAM Essentials AIO package!

Super easy to use for a new install, or just to update your existing install. I recommend everyone install this package to ensure you have the latest required BAM updates.

Can you inform me how to access the volume controls. I used the Arnoz brain to adjust it and it went down but not back up. Wondering if there is a keystroke that will work. Also, you mention using the old sounds as an option during gameplay. How do I access that option?

This table has a big new PinEvent V2, FizX, and table update coming very soon.

 

You can adjust the Sound and Music volume while playing using HOME/END and PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN. 

 

You can change the music and videos (if using a pup-pack) at any time using the Special 2 key/button. Whatever that is depends on your keys / button setup. Check FP's Controls settings.

Hello Terry, love the table. I have one weird problem and wonder if you might know any reason why its happening. Only happens with this table. Everything works perfectly. My problem is that when I exit this table, and this table alone, my displays all go black and white. They will stay this way until I got back to main pinup menu or start a new table. Driving me crazy and can't figure out why this is happening. Again, only this one table and has been doing it since fizx updates and also has been on every version since fizx, but all your other tables with fizx work fine. Any ides?
