Cool beans. That plunger is a must. You also win the prize for the arcade builder who sounds the most like Stevo out of Jackass

Well, now it is time for more upgrades.... as a result this is what happens in the middle of a project upgrade... total mess everywhere which makes my wife sooooo happy! I always wanted to add in a plunger and a big LAUNCH button. Can't easily find either in Canada, and buying from the US is costly with our crappy CDN dollar and costly shipping. So, I found a place in Ottawa that does repairs and sells parts called Pinball Medics. https://pinballmedics.ca/ Since I was taking my daughter to Ottawa Comi-Con, I was able to stop by his place and buy what I needed from him. He had everything except for the mounting plate for the plunger, which I didn't need anyway. He's a great guy and had a fantastic Pinball collection which I sadly didn't have time to check out.... Here's a video demonstration of my plunger setup: Hopefully I can maybe make a couple of custom tilt-bobs to work as a digital nudge type of setup. Then, I'm off to update the control panel with a different button layout, a third 4-way joystick, and all three joysticks will have BAT tops instead of BALL tops. After all this is done, its just a waiting game for all my parts to arrive from China, so I can install feedback via 10 solenoids. I'll also be installing led strip lighting to act as 5 rgb flashers, addressable led strip lighting / matrix for animation, white strobes, and red / blue beacons (LED strobe versions). Lots of work to do!

[VisualPinball]Enabled=TrueWorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual PinballTablePath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\TablesExecutable=VPinball992.exe ... [System_3] Name=Visual Pinball XWorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual PinballTablePath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\Tables Okay, so based on the info above, you are storing the VPT tables and VPX tables in the same folder. This is okay as long as you don't name the vpx files the same as vpt files You probably have the following files: Attack From Mars.vpt Attack From Mars.vpx 18:46:45.5 20/05/2016: C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\VPinballX.exe /play -"C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\Tables\Attack From Mars.vpt From your log above you are trying to play the VPX version of Attack From Mars "VPinballX.exe" but PinballX is finding the vpt file, Attack From Mars.vpt, first, instead of Attack From Mars.vpx and trying to start the vpt file with VPX. And it fails... You have 2 options: Rename the Attack From Mars.vpx to something unique like Attack From Mars VPX.vpx or Attack From Mars 1.1.1.vpx and update the VPX XML file (either use the Game Manager or modify the xml file) or Move all your .VPX files into a new folder like C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Pinball\Tables\VPX\ and modify the PinballX settings VPX table path

Might be an ad or message about the new Alien tables that were released recently? Try to run Pinball FX2 outside of PinballX and clear any of these in-game messages. Also, reboot tends to fix strange occurrences.

I hope they do 'Rick and Morty' table some time. I love that show...
