    What happened here. Some serious Banana throwing and vehicle nudging lets RusstyT run the red light, hit the super charger and take the podium as the Aussie Arcade VPGL KIngPin. Crackers took the lead early with a super 220Mill and this was to limp home with a flat tyre for a well deserved 2nd place. With a late start and lots of work in the pit and switching to the fire retardant jump man suit,Kane managed to get his car on the track for track test 3rd spot. What a fantastic game and wonderful way to finish the 2024 VPGL Thankyou to all involved in the VPGL and all the best for the year ahead. Russ

    When it comes to playing Tiger don't mess with the Tasmanian Tiger. A huge game by Kane exceeding the total score of the other cubs scores combined heralds him as the undisputed Aussie Arcade Tiger champion. Congratulations mate. 2nd place goes to RusstyT pipping Crackers in another classic EM Kombucha fired Duel. The mysterious Richard.m continues with another solid performance but alas no Brabury today. This brings and end the Double Dipping Tournament and what can I say.... If you are holding a party don't invite RusstyT because he is proven to be a serious double dipper. He pips Kane to be the DoubleDip champion while the ever consistent Crackers has proven to also be a serious double dipper. On the other hand, Richard.m ....the very mysterious Richard.m is worthy of a party invitation. No recycled saliva in the French onion dip from this fellah. 🙂 So this brings the end the Current 2024 VPGL2024 Tournament and a last ditched effort in Tiger gives the 2 points He needed to take the podium, do a shoey and bask in the glory as the Aussie Arcade 2024VPGL Champion. Congratulations Kane you have set the standard for the last couple of years. So close Crackers..consistent to the end and a well deserved 2nd place as the most constant competitor the VPGL since I joined 4 years ago. RusstyT narrowly pips the Mysterious Richard.m for 3rd. On the back of some fantastic games played this year and a bumper time in VPX development I sign off as the VPGL co-ordinationor and say thankyou to everyone who has competed and to @Arcade King for providing a place to host the Virtual Pinball Gaming league.All the best and I'll keep the VPX updates section up to date. Thankyou Russ
  3. Learnt and interesting thing about VisualBasic used in VPX. If you are using 32bitVPX this will be an issue TasteyWasps wrote: "I get the extra lag even when I'm playing for a decent amount of time. (not just the table sitting idle) Maybe a half hour or so where play might get intense with multiball and modes? It's like it builds on itself. (possible memory leak behavior)" I can understand possible lag during those crazy modes based on PC specs (although I think mine are OK) but the lag seems to persist even when the game goes to a one ball mode or even restarting the game without reloading the game through VPX. Just info for the curious as it's hard to explain the laggy behavior since it is very intermittent. I asked him about this and his reply. That post above from me was back when using 32 bit. I've never had that happen again after moving to 64 bit so I think we are good on that front.

    OOh man. That was some crazy driving. With 4 extra balls it was like I was born in Chernobyl, running on vodka fumes and dodging bananas......wooo that don't make sense....I'll have another vodka. Ah Much better.... Like I was saying 6 extra balls and oil slicks everywhere, sheep on the road and this little guy in front of me who looks like super Mario launching bananas and chuckling like Svetlana on her wedding day. As I passed the little guy with the red hat and oversized moustache I glanced over my shoulder. Just as I suspected..That guy's Crakkers. Hehehee. Jokes aside this is the 2nd time of got this game going. It's a tough one. My best is 366K
  5. Interesting on my big cab with a 1070ti graphics card and 120Hz 1ms playfield i was getting significant frame tearing in the gi strobe parts of the Getaway Highspeed2. It made no difference with pin affinity was running or not. To overcome this I reduced the texture quality from unlimited to 7280 (something like that) and turned off ambient occlusion. To compensate there is a picture sharpen algorithm that chews little processor and works well with the filmic tone mapping for the table lights. This give a really nice result. Rich sharp colours and contrast but doesn't have the depth of reflection. Funny I didn't have this problem on Doctor Who or legacy of the beast on both my machines. @Crakkers and I did some tests around sharpening and tone mapping a couple of weeks ago and were quite impressed with the result and couldn't see that it affected machine performance. This will sound like a lot of gobbly gook if you not using the software but there are lots of tweaks in VPX 10.8. PS The things I did MJRoberts the author of pin Affinity recommends if frame tearing occur.

    I 'm having trouble tracking the ball in this one when the super charger activates, and red line mania. I get the stutters. I turned off unlimited texture and occlusion al lighting. Not as pretty but still very nice. Nice in 10.8 that you can set settings per table from the editor.

    290K 🤔Out of the mario cart and throwing a few bananas here @Crakkers I suspect you have been drink driving and you'll have to face the committee and defend your case.😂

    I think you've got a bit more in you crackers. I'm out of suspension and back on the field fresh as a daisy.I think Kane will have a field day. Every 30K you get an extra ball.
  9. Interesting info. I guess you don't have to have PinAffinity to run at log in if you have a multipurpose machine. You can start it before running a game. on the i5 1060 super it runs pup pacs (I think its VLC media player) and the sound files no problem.
  10. pheeeew! Thanks needle bat. I was thinking my 1060 experiment was a dud. Totally didn't expect such a good result on a 60Hz 4K Screen. it's areal joy to play. I also had in the back of my mind that VPX only using one core of the processor so it didn't matter if you got an i7 or i5. I now think the cpu does matter if using Pin affinity. I used to think a minimum 120Hz screen was necessary for ball tracking its not the case when using PinAffinity. I still think the higher picture density (nits) of a screen does give a deeper richer playfield and the ambient occlusion is eye popping, but you can still get a really good playfield with a 4K 60Hz 250 nits (Candella/cm^2). This has demystified a lot of the frames per second and latency is king for ball tracking. There is another way.
