SS Original Table BAM FizX FP F-14 Tomcat - Afterburner (PinEvent V2, FizX 3.0) 1.6

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

Version: 1.6 (July 2023)

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!

FizX

This table has been fully updated with FizX v3.0 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.

DISCLAIMER:

This table is a fan-made work of passion, and is NOT intended for commercial usage or to be included in any part of a commercial sale!


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


This table is 4 player.


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


Desktop Static Camera Views (attract mode)

• press plunger to cycle through different static views

Special 1 or Special 2 key will toggle between Music / Video modes at any time


TABLE OPTIONS




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 “first” disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script), AND in the BAM menu “afterward” while playing

• open BAM menu (~ or Q by default), and goto "Addons - Configure Ball and Shadows"

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.

Physics: FizX v3.0


PinEvent V2 features for this table:

• DOF
• PUP SSF
• PUP DMD
• PUP Stream
• Night Mode key
• TILT BOB key

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


Game not running smooth? Try the following:

• run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
• disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS "first", then disable in the BAM menu while playing (Addons - Configure Ball and Shadows)
• 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
• FP and BAM (updated to 1.5-365 or higher)
• Future Pinball and BAM Essentials AIO package (installed AFTER installing FP or after updating BAM)
• my BAM Settings files installed
• the REQUIRED “Video / Rendering Options” and “Editor Options” set in Future Pinball settings (included with the table's zip file)

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


INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS (REQUIRED)

• PLEASE read the Install Instructions (included with the table's zip file)
• it shows you how to check what version of BAM you have installed
• it shows you how to install all the REQUIRED items above (and provides links to download them)
• it shows you how to easily setup FP and BAM with the REQUIRED settings
• there is a FAQ included that will answer most questions!

It's super easy, and only takes minutes to do!


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


How to run Future Pinball to play the table

• PLEASE read the Install Instructions (included with the table's zip file) to know how to properly use FP and BAM
