200 on upper flipper for me is right.

But haven’t put the precision flips in yet

I dialed my precision halos back to 170 on the upper left, feels pretty good but haven't played too many games yet

Friday code drop? Super Bowl Sunday around the corner! I’m pumped!

A buddy came over the other day and put up a 573 million GC on my Bond. So I’m going to put some time in as soon as that code drops! Anyone else have that buddy who comes over and puts new GC’s on your machines! So annoying lol

I did that at a friend's place recently. "Hey, I'm the new guy!" <GC on his Godzilla> Oops. Thankfully one of the other guys there trounced me so maybe it wasn't so bad.

My absolute favorite flow combo I've managed to hit several times is:
1) center lane looping around behind the rocket (lock gate not open on prem/LE)
2) upper left flipper to woman loop
3) upper left flipper again to henchman ramp, which has its own mini loop around and down to right flipper.

(Green/pink/blue):

...my god it's a such thing of beauty when it happens, and it happens so fast and smooth!

Any word on what the fix is for the drop target gate area?

That is spectacular when you get it, but at my skill level that's unfortunately once in a blue moon, if a nine tailed cat is sitting on the roof haha. The flow and combos are pretty awesome on this machine.

Wow I haven’t even thought of those combos! No wonder I don’t have GC on my own machine! My combo right now is more simple. Jet pack ramp to villain ramp is my favorite right now.

Yeah not implying it happens on the regular, especially with how fast is goes screaming through those loops, but I sometimes get lucky. Beautiful!

So hit all those shots and then go jet pack to villain!

#combogoals

Yeah right especially if the post doesn’t go up to start a mode. You just raise your hands in the air and yell, I’m the greatest pinball player alive! Lol

The best one I had was a couple loops around the bond women, to henchman, to left orbit then villains ramp to left orbit a few times. It was a ton of fun. Think I ended up with 23 combos that game.

The flow is awesome, when you get all the shots you are mentioning it's pure satisfaction. Makes me happy like hitting a cool bash toy. My favorite is jet pack ramp, villains, jet pack and villains again. Ball is flotting.

It's so cool to try to aim at these sometimes to reposition your shot to a better angle.

Also, I learned something this week from one of Jack Danger video's. I had problems to make the ball jump from one flipper to the other (passing the ball). I use that in all my games. Jack said he also heard about that lately. You just unscrew the 2 lower posts and bring them as close as possible down to the flippers and then screw them tight back again.

Now I can pass the ball very easily and it's important in that game.

Just in case some of you didn’t know and their game was not assembled correctly.

What problem needs fixing in that area? I don't think I've encountered an issue there.

And calling people "dickheads" and "idiot" and telling them to go f themselves really pulls that vibe back up!

This is what I'm talking about. Wonder if anyone knows what they'll do for it.

Nice!

I'm thinking it could use more Sean Connery Bonds in tuxes w/ raised pistols though.

Depending on price, consider me interested, I don't know which version I like better yet, I figure he is still working on it, keep us posted!

Positively shocking... You've removed the little 'tm' after 007 and Stern Pinball.

Fun fact: In his most famous publicity shoot for Dr No, the prop department had forgotten the gun, so the photographer handed Sean Connery his own personal air pistol. Oddly, this same air pistol made it into the artwork (rocket pack art - that's the photographer's air pistol). The photographer was certain the air pistol would be replaced with the actual gun in post, but it never was.

For those that are using Pinball Browser to make changes to their game code (changing music, video footage, etc.), I have started a new thread to discuss code changes you plan to make for the James Bond code. See link below. Thanks.

Has another come across this footage in the game yet? Little Nellie mode, Power Pack, Aston Martin, hunted helicopter. There seem to be over 1,100 video segments in the code already so likely every major scene from every Connery movie is covered.

Owners will be happy that this Honey Rider scene made the code

needs more bond women and bad guys

Good to see this. Most of it is probably not coded yet.

Those are all q branch gadgets to be implemented.

maybe those are the crossover achievements with the 60th we keep hearing about?

Needs more camel toe.

These images were taken from the Premium code. If anyone wants to look through the code videos (there are a lot), then the $20 investment in Pinball Browser is definitely worth it.

Anyone recognize where this came from? Left side makes it look like it snapped off a larger piece, but I can't find it.

Looks like it goes along the right orbit under the turnaround for the ramps.

Bingo!

I had the same issue - changing the angle to 6.7 fixed

Thanks Dewback9 and crwjumper!

anyone else having problems with the aston martin vuk occasionally going to shooter and right outlane? Thanks in advance

Turn up the eject power

Got my pro today, "game validation error, update SD card" once I exited the initial setup screen. Reading the thread it seems one of the solutions is to just leave the machine on in attract for a while and it might/should clear. If it doesn't clear in a few hours I'll shut it off and re-seat the cards and power it up again.

edit: Took about 2-3 hours and the error went away. Leaving this here for the next person who has this problem.

It's not necessarily just eject power -- the position of the habitrail above the car may need to be adjusted. See my post here for more details: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/james-bond-official-owners-club/page/9#post-7298758

Pinball Hall of Fame has two pro’s and two Premiums.

I bumped mone up 10 points and it works fine, not one miss since.

Thanks for following up that it worked for you. The fix is already linked in the topic index for this thread under TECH:OS Validation error, which links to the original post a month ago.

And they should stop and wait for code, I refuse to play my game till the code is ready. Its like buying a brand new car and they haven't designed the steering wheel yet. Till then I have a British flag draped over this game like its dead to me.
