How can we help to make this happen?

Also out of interest, how much time would you estimate to:

- Cycle bobs targets through pop bumpers (under used shot and conveniently adds randomness and integrates with diverter arm)
- Keep the city destroyed rather than resetting after Armageddon.
- Increase jackpot callout volume
- Add a little something after Showdown

In my experience with Dialed In, after opening the coin door and fixing stuck balls you can simply place the ball in the shooter lane and it won't auto-plunge when you close it (unlike my stern games).

Does yours kick the ball back in? On my Stern machines it does but on my JJP it doesn't.

It has reasonable depth with easy to understand rules. I have always thought it would stand up well as a solo machine.

Some of the good points for me are (minor spoilers below):

1. The main phone modes are not that repetitive as you get to select them as you play through the game.
2. There are lots of multiballs and being able to have more than one multiball running at one time is massive. The majority of multiballs give you the option of trying to qualify and start other multiballs so these don't feel like you are only shooting jackpots. The multiballs are also some of the most fun I have played. With the three hidden magnets firing off and your flippers being attacked etc. they always feel like chaos.
3. Bob's modes are decent side-modes although they are difficult to initiate.
4. The quantum theatre has a lot of depth.
5. The wizard modes are fun to work towards and rewarding to play through.
6. The humour of the machine keeps it fresh and there are a lot of different call outs.

The major downside are the sim cards. They are incredibly important and disappear if you lose a ball as the default setting. This can make the game exciting, although it forces you to shoot for only one thing. This can be adjusted in the settings and makes the final wizard mode (which is awesome) much easier to achieve.

I use this one without issue:

Have a look at the trap door under the left loop and make sure the ball path is still smooth. You might need to adjust the trap door now that the flap has broken off.

A clean shot should make it all the way around and a less optimal shot will fall in the pops.

Correct. Cut the Mylar over all the magnet cores.

Hi all,

As indicated in the pictures below, I’m having an issue where occasionally a right ramp shot will hop clean over the switch. Does anyone have a solution that doesn’t involve reducing the flipper power or adding something on the ramp to slow the ball down? (I think I have seen velcro used to solve this issue somewhere)

Ideally, I was hoping that someone had made a ‘Station 2’ mod (refer to the second picture) that would slot into this area that would prevent the balls from missing the switch.

Thanks, I appreciate you providing those links. I have read these posts before and was aiming for a solution that is 100%. I have decided to make my own mod and am working on the model for Station 2. I will keep everyone posted.

This is a follow up to a post I made a while ago. I was frustrated with the fixes for balls missing the switch on right ramp/orbit. After having tried all of the suggested improvements I still found that a quick shot would hop over the switch so I decided to make a mod to fix it entirely.

This is only a status update as I’m not 100% satisfied with the model but it definitely does the job of ensuring fast shots never miss the switch. It’s meant to be a combination of the Station 2 building and the tunnel. I’ll post updates as I improve the model and paint job.

I understand your frustration all too well. I have now played enough games and smashed enough right ramps to say that this mod is a 100% fix and I can’t possibly miss the switch.

Mine are aligned roughly with the lanes so that I can only just backhand the left ramp and the phone scoop.

My standard shooter rod broke and I couldn’t find a replacement that I felt fit perfectly. So I made my own based on the bullet train in the game (see images below the rod and from the game screen and note how different they are). I 3D printed it at 100% infill and it is rock solid so far.

I’m not going to be selling these as I’m terrible at painting and they are too time consuming so I’ll post the file here for anyone interested in DIY.

Not really sure but for what it's worth I have had both the factory and a cliffy set of scoop protectors and ended up taking them both out and using Mylar instead. It sits flatter, shoots better and as the game wasn't originally designed with the protectors so I don't feel it is cheating these shots. In hundreds of games I don't have any significant wear in these areas.

The game wasn't designed with scoop protectors. They were added after the fact as the scoop areas were getting beaten up. Replacing with Mylar makes a big difference. The sim card is still a very difficult shot but the ball is more likely to fall in. Other ways to make the game much easier include stacking outlane ball saves and changing the outlane posts. If you did all of these things as well as carry over sim cards then the game becomes insanely easy.

Default settings are useful as a starting point for comparing scores. Another comparison could be to compare scores with sim card carry over on.

If someone can enjoy this game more with it on then good for them.

Let's not concern ourselves with how others use their toys.

Mylar each scoop and enjoy the game more is still the best option and essentially the design intent. Mine look fine after 1000 games.

I think it's this
