Can anyone confirm the default outlane post settings for this game? Just picked one up and they're all the way on the most closed position, but it seems like someone may have moved them

Thanks man! I usually like to set the outlanes to stock, but gotta admit, the game is still very challenging with the outlanes closed. Think I’ll leave them alone for awhile

Almost done with the shop job here, and I’m curious about the right orbit on some of your Avatars. My right orbit tends to let the ball hit the right sling when it comes out... Wondering if it’s supposed to do that or if I’ve got an angle off somewhere . Thanks in advance.

Cool decal on the 3bank target. I think the SDTM issue also has a lot to do with how level the machine is. The Avatar I played on location had the spring turned backwards so it was doing nothing, yet the machine was leaning to one side so much it didn’t matter . It made every other shot harder, but hey no SDTM haha

Thanks for verifying! That’s what I’m seeing on YouTube videos too, but appreciate a second opinion. It looks like the metal guide on my orbit is installed a little weird, like it bends in a bit too much towards the top and then goes back out a bit, causing the ball to miss a good bit of the curve that would get it to the flipper. I am going to have to take the ramp back off and dial that in with some pliers . If I had to guess, Stern installed the ball launch ramp just a tad too far towards the back of the playfield causing that weird curve.

The Avatar Pro 1.20 text on the website appears to be an error. Checking the changelog inside the file shows it's just 2.00, which was apparently a patch for the LE's that included a different USB chipset.

V2.00 - January 29, 2013
=======================
- Games built with CPU Part #520-5246-02 need to use V2.00 code.
- Games built with CPU Part #520-5246-00 need to use V1.10 code.
- CPU Part #520-5246-02 is built with an FTDI USB chip
- CPU Part #520-5246-00 is built with an Atmel USB chip
- There are no game rule changes between V1.10 & V2.00

V1.10 - November 10, 2011
=======================

- Modified Tilt to handle game images of larger size.
- Added a flash image verification at power-up when left flipper is held.
- Added a checksum to the end of the image file.

Not sure I have seen one at all. Might just be the way Eywa works, I don’t end up hitting that a ton, and when I do I’m generally hoping for an add a ball or extended timer in a mode, which I think the code prioritizes anyway.

I like your idea of changing the special reward to extra ball. Seems like a solid option in a home environment (and with such a difficult game).

Is the switch inside all good on switch test?

I’ve traditionally done my games with cool white bulbs, but I did put that exact pinballbulbs kit in my Avatar and it looks badass. For reference, I have it next to a HUO Ripley’s with just cool white bulbs, and it makes the Ripley’s look bland now All personal preference of course, but I’ve put kits from pinballbulbs in both Avatar and Tron and have been satisfied with everything but the price of the kit hahaha

You’ll notice the biggest improvements with the LED OCD (for the inserts). I haven’t noticed a lot of similarly impacted effects with the GI lights.

I added a shaker and it’s great feedback for the jackpot shots. I don’t think it fundamentally changes the game at all though, so might not change their opinion. It’s a very challenging game that rewards stacked modes and multiballs, which is what I dig.

Internal sub is always a nice touch. I’ve got an external sub on my Avatar, and it sounds just as good/loud as compared to the games with both an internal/external sub. Either way works
