time to subscribe here, as soon a "pro" will land home... almost i have some pages to read

its "official" now

on which position are the plots at outlanes when game is out of the box/factory settings ?

and what did the 3 "blue targets" (2 behind the cube, 1 at the left lanes) in the game ?

well, i could understand some early hate on this pinball, not only on the "shoot always same shoots" (which i didnt agree, i even like how Lonnie code it), and of course the BW ramp, which for sure was a real/big problem (with old code, and/or if pinball is not tweaked correctly)

than, knowing about the 1.7 update, i have absolutly no regret to have just bought this Avengers, even more when my son was already loving it before !

i've done all tweaks (needing attention) listed here (tanx to evbd)

just back to BW ramp :
while waxed the PF and all the parts already help a lot with this shoot
but here's something may be could serve for others : i noticed that the central part (in aluminium) was not perfectly alligned to the external end of the curve... just 2 mm inside, but of course ball was hitting that for sure, losing speed... than easy trick to realligne these 2 parts, and now BW ramp is easy to pass while ball is rolling perfectly

OK, 2 asks now :

- did someone got the PDF PRO MANUAL, and upload it for me (and surelly some others guys) ?
as on STERN site the link is wrong (its pointing to the LE... and no, the LE link didnt point to the PRO)

- did someone already scan few/all plastics of the PRO ? specially the green one behind HULK (i smell mine is going to break soon, its distorded), and even better the right+left upper slingshots (to make my own in transparent plate, the mods seems nice but very expensive)

tanx in advance

strange about the "update kit", as i jusk asked it for my PRO HUO, and got it without a prob...

reading this i reopen mine, and its huge difference between factory and close at max, now i have to "battle" much more against the pinball

in fact, seeing how its designed, factory or just nothing will be quite the same...

@Lonnie_D_R if you're on pinside (and still reading about AV)

here's a bug
well, better calling this something not wanted (?) which can be seen as an exploit for good players :
considering you have 1 (or 2) balls locked in LOKI, no lock ready, and 3 LOKI letters ON (with K or I being OFF)
you shoot the left ramp, when ball hit the switch at the top of the ramp, the LOKI lock release 1 ball, than light the 4th LOKI letters in the inlane (which will light the next lock), and when the other ball finally arrived in the LOKI lock, the MB starts as 1 ball is already on the PF

...

to polish, a small detail : you've removed the BONUS HELD from the MYSTERY, but its still there on the screen animation with FURY (btw, pity you removed it, even if this could give unbalanced score i admit)

...

and just an idea, as this will be lots of works i think : at the begining of a ball, making possible to choose which avengers you wanna play during that ball (as in DOCTOR WHO), and than as example (lots of others "gift" are possible) :

* THOR : as a semi-God, all ball saver will last more longer
* HULK : HULK jackpots + X % points
* BLACK WIDOW : super spinner
* CAPTAIN AMERICA : super pops
* IRON MAN : 1 shoot on the iron man switch advance for 2 instead of 1
* HAWKEYE : when in LOKI multiball, 1 shoot only (in place of 2) to collect the super hero

AV is now 3 weeks home and not far from 200 games on it, we like this game

and as i'm a maniac, after having done all needed tweaks, i've found 2 little more :

on his left side, the tesseract was 1 milimeter not leveled with the playfield, done with adding a thin plastic under the PF at screws...

and also having some airballs hitting the upper right ramp transparent plastic (despite the high slope & flippers power settings at minimum) over the IRON MAN entry, with the blue rubber under at the spinner and/or the red plot near FURY... than just done a DIY lexan to cover that area (attach here if you need it)

assuming the external side (where the ball is supposed to "touch" while climbing, due to physic) : the bridge was 2 mm "more inside" than the curve

my son & i also feel IM is the hardest shoot on our Avengers

cool tu m'en diras des nouvelles

quite happy after my best game on Avengers ...

a very good 1st ball (including the 2 extra balls already of course)
going to mini wizard mode, completed
than going to BFE, and only missing 2 IRON MAN shoots (before easy HULK)

and than as often, stamina is out, finishing my game at 255M (and beating my son high score of 250 lol ! you have some works now... )

despite hate this game get for years, i still think its a good/fun pinball WHEN (and only WHEN) all tweaks are done and it plays smoothly...

nice room !

and i hope you did set TILT setting to sensitive, else, i can imagine how easy is to make some "slide" saves
