Quoted from Pinstein:Thanks, I know your the expert but this seems to contradict what GSone was saying in that they pass through unless the lock is lit?
Sorry for the confusion. You do have to qualify the Beer Barrel lock first by lighting P-R-O-S-T to be able to lock a ball, otherwise shooting a ball up there will just pass on through. My comment was more about it not releasing the balls.
Quoted from sulli10:1) is there a lag in the play between game action and the response on the screen/sounds?
No, should not be.
Quoted from sulli10:2) can the flippers make all the ramp shots from a captured ball on the flippers?
The left ramp (Corkscrew ramp) should be easily makable from a trapped ball on the RIGHT flipper. From a trapped ball on the LEFT flipper (i.e. a backhand shot) -- I wouldn't try it, though I've seen it done.
The right ramp (quick-turn ramp) should be makable from a trapped ball on either the left or right flippers.
The upper ramp (Beer Barrel ramp) is an upper-flipper side shot ramp, so that one is always an on-the-fly shot.
