Ah man - ya beat me to it @_xizor, I've been waiting to do this but you beat me to it..

no word on my shipping date but if 1st runs are still going out I'm thinking late next month, I'm somewhere in run 2.

I'm with you though-- very excited for so many aspects of the p3. The dev environment, and hopefully being able to share custom ideas between owners, the modularity and game swaps, the technology and all the coding and gameplay it opens up. It's like a pinball playground., potentially opens up homebrews to a few more owners as it cuts out some big hurdles. Hoping I can find time to learn unity at some point.

Well looks like run 2 delayed again

Halloween party not looking likely, but I'm hoping mine makes it in time for an early x-mas present

Always cool to see production pics though

Easy for you to say -- yours is on the way lol

I agree though reluctantly -- better to get a better product than shipped something quickly that has issues or incomplete coding (hi stern!!)

I just snugged up my 4 pins to make sure there's room for Lexy -- just barely but that 5th is going in there even if there's only an inch between all the heads

Does that add a lot of cost to the p3 then for Canadian owners?

Holy cow that's insane. And to think I wasn't looking fwd to my 350 shipping or whatever it's going to be lol. Puts it in perspective.

Dang must be a long unboxing video -- taken a couple days now for _xizor to get it uploaded

Yyyyeah!!!!

Oh crap. Gotta go measure the basement ceiling now.. I know I don't have clearance for toppers.. gonna be super tight for p3 - hope I don't have to bust a hole out for the head!!

+1

Hopefully a little video this weekend? Still want to hear some callouts

And the first to post about it

Love the way cannon lagoon lower pf pops on the LCD, very crisp!

Was just thinking -- I wonder if there will be much of any secondary market in 2 to 3 years for upper modules / artwork kits? I can imagine that overtime people might not jive with one or need cash for a new one, etc.. and of course rather than selling the whole p3 just the modules would show up in the marketplace. How many will we be at in 2 years? On our way to 3.. maybe 1 more from mm in 2018, and possibly a custom 1 or 2? Guessing more software only packages, but also probably no way to resell those? Curious how that will work - license tied to individual machine, or a transferable code?

Ha! Glad I don't quite have that issue yet (well on more ways than one I suppose, seeing as there's no p3 here just yet). If kids are in the cards though I can def. see CL module in my future. Maybe I can buy yours if your kids ever tired of it and want something deeper lol.

So if you accidentally delete a mini game there's no way to get it back right now? Still super curious what the 'store' is going to look like. So cool that you can essentially browse and download right from the p3 directly!

_xizor -- you're the man!!! Thanks for posting the video- very cool to see the menu system and game selection. First time hearing callouts.. kinda meh on them but hopefully they grow on you -- I do really like David thiels sound package on Lexy though.

Also a little surprised - no music on rocs? Wonder how hard it would be upload some songs and have them play during it?

10/11/17 New website live:

https://www.multimorphic.com/

Stores up and running, very cool!

Run #2 games on track for starting November build

Getting close?

Bumping the thread - anyone shoot any new videos of Lexy gameplay

Getting close to run #2 builds

Thanks for sharing!! Cool spacey ambient music - I like it! If you happen to feel like more filming I’d love to see/hear a bit more of Lexy

1st run was finished officially in the beginning of November. Anybody want to guess on when the 1st people in line start getting 2nd run shipping notifications? I’m guessing they start going out in January, hopefully at a little faster clip now than the 1st run..

That would be awesome.. just guessing there might be a couple tweaks to do, factor in holidays and maybe waiting on any parts that weren’t in yet.

January’s almost over.. Any shipping notices??

Thought I’d link this in here in case anyone interested misses it:

Happy to see more shipping and hopefully preorders all caught up by may/June

Another one packed and ready to go — on its way to Seattle

There’s one in Cali I believe — I think Rob Anthony owns it ? (Lock when lit).. it was on a thread a while back maybe if you search p3 ?

Edit— found it:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/lexy-lightspeed-p3-on-location-in-sacramento#post-3939960

Hoping to do some kind of unboxing vid, and will do done gameplay vid of everything as well. Stay tuned

For sure there will be — pretty sure we’ll see a floating 3rd flipper and / or floating pops, etc. could easily have a ramp that drops down over the plexiglass for a shot then retracts up. The features will all take some engenuity to float over a pf .. will be cool to see.

P3 arrived at terminal - scheduled for delivery tomorrow

Just gonna drop these here.. didn’t end up with a video but got some pics. Had some good games tonight - couple hiccups with a stuck ball and software glitch but overall is running good and super fun to play with sound (which you never hear at shows).. the sound system in this kicks ass and I really like what David did plus the call outs are great!

Strap and lots of wrap for the extra module:

This thing is as heavy as everyone says.. I had to use ramps but I got it inside my house past 2 sets of stairs by myself.... barely. Def. reccomend 2 people for this task!

This is pretty cool — shows the level left/right and degree of tilt

Also really like the extra button for lane change so they aren’t constantly changing when you are flipping.

The risk/reward of building up balls in the ship is awesome - also love the kill shot for aliens. Still figuring things out but really enjoying Lexy so far.

Thanks - started it with wife but got side tracked with pinball so it’s pretty much her project now

Lol about the piano - yeah.. this wasn’t the original plan, but I want to take it to the nw show in June and going down, up, and back down the basement stairs with this thing seemed so much less appealing after seeing how heavy it was. So it sits till June. Then it’s never coming out of the basement.

I was shocked when I jokingly said it may need to stay upstairs and she said “sure”.

Module swap pics. Multimorphic did a good job on this design - I like the way it slides in place and connectors are very easily accessible.

Box is ok for the extra module — really hoping for a trunk sort of thing though.. will prob see if I can build something quickly out of wood for time being.

Here’s debug on the IR grid - thought it was cool to see the beams.

Got an event set up Saturday to see how it worked. Sets up seperate high score lists for the event. 71F19D93-856E-4B30-96D4-B4821E181FB5 (resized).jpeg

Anyone put up some crazy scores yet? I got 8 ball going this morning and killed the aliens - ended up with 15mil. Gotta work on hitting jackpots — the right side one is a hard shot for me.

I agree about the saucer scoop being maybe a bit too big — I’m hitting it a lot when going for the jackpot. I guess that’s good and bad - holds extra balls for a second but also if your hitting it a lot when lock isn’t lit it slows the game down too much and you really get no reward for hitting it.

I’d go for making both jackpot shots slightly larger and the mode start and saucer slightly smaller.

I have the ufo stutter too - would love to get rid of it, but isn’t beta an earlier version? Does it remove some other features or only affect the saucer?

Regarding the stick ufo balls - I experienced this on 2nd game, but only the once. For sure the call didn’t seat proper and jammed against the small pcb board just to the right which is a tight clearance to the ufo. Def. shouldn’t be jamming all the time though

No flipper issues with the critters.

Installed beta - yep that fixes the twitchy / stutter ufo issue- very nice!

Funny thing - when my nephew saw it the first time he said - oh, it doesn’t work quite right because it crashed! I hadn’t even thought of that connection - and I started to wonder if he was right and the stutter was intentional. I guess it wasn’t though? Smoother gameplay w/out it.

I am wondering if it has to rotate 360 to dump a ball out or if it could dump one immediately to the trough if lock isn’t lit so there’s no down time of the ufo rotating 180 ?

Any owners get to wizard yet on Lexy? I’m having trouble finishing every mode - missing 1 or 2 and difficult to hit thay right 180 to light mode again.

Blew it up last night though with a 15 min ball 2 with triple scoring, think I ended around 44mil. I’m guessing u could go a lot higher with 8 ball multi and triple scoring

Yeah the high scores bleed thru the menu sometimes - known bug, not sure when fix is coming but fortunately it’s not too big a deal.

I could agree about the mode timer except swamp gas mode is my least fav so I’m ok with that one moving along. For other modes it’s hard to complete - I don’t think I’ve ever finished warehouse with all the gears.. bad shot is going right down the middle.

I have it set on a custom hard setting now and was trying to finish the last (8th) alien — such a bitch to complete! Every 5 sec it gets 10% health back so if you hit the pops, the ship, left ramp, mode hole.. it’s getting health back while you wait for a ball feed. It was a struggle and prob around 6 to 8 minute battle to defeat him. Satisfying in the end but super frustrating

Mine had the side lane adjusters all the way out (hardest) , but did have the posts in the easier position. I’d move them but it’s easier for my wife with them in for now.. wish you could adjust those via servo so they could adjust on the fly per player profile. Love the profile settings but that could be killer in combination. I think it’s very possible at least with the outer ones that actually pivot in an arc.

Kind of had forgot about CL been playing so much LL - gonna have to fire that up.

Put CL in and I’m getting a ton of brick/ball rejects from the center shot — super annoying, as they often are heading sdtm then.. anyone else have this and make an adjustment? I am thinking about bending the scoop metal ..

Dang Toyguy that’s unfortunate about all your issues!!! I’ve had a few things but most things have been software and I agree - multimorphic has good support. I think I lucked out in a way as I have a machine from tpf so any mech adjustment issues should have been resolved. I noticed a similar thing on a wall — although opposite your problem — in diag a wall wouldn’t hold up but worked in rocs. Then later it worked fine in diag. Def. a few software things to sort out — I am hoping the random game resets are fixed soon - had quite a few on multiplayer games.

I hope your ship lock issue is resolved soon! Mine jammed on first game and I thought oh shit but it has never happened again. Curious— Did you move the levelers or are they all at same height?

I agree - confused how the pf is sagging? If it’s the poly carb maybe an easy fix?

Regarding the ship - if it were jamming almost every time you sure would expect/hope that would be caught in qa.. that is a huge bummer to wait for a game for years and then you can’t really even play a game on arrival. It kinda seems like a required physical fix like that would warrant a swap with a fixed module? I don’t blame you for not being excited about drilling holes in the module..

But sounds like your leveling may have mostly fixed the issue?

That’s a solid idea wolf. I’ll add it to their feature request to track it when I have a sec.

Thanks for chiming in Gerry — hopefully Toyguy gets everything sorted out! Interesting that his ll wood is sagging - wondering if move is too now and I just had not noticed yet. I was actually impressed how well the ball rolls over the scoop wall assembly— only a couple snags on a slow moving ball and just 1 that triggered a ball search, the others freed them selves.

Regarding what toyguy saud about the ship motor — it does seem like it’s resetting a lot - does the reset need to run still even if all balls are accounted for in the trough?

For sure the pops could use lighting — I thought they’d look awesome with the plasma caps but not wanting to spend that $$ right now. Agree on the sling plastics as well.

Cool that you are at least getting to mess with the machine some.. I haven’t tried taking out my flippers are anything yet.

Mine seem concave a bit too, very little damage — just a little paint gone on lower part on right side. Forgot to check if they are flush it sit out — I’m guessing they sit out a bit since they look in pretty good shape.

Got to the kraken this morning - 3 hits left, damn that thing growing it’s legs back!!

AA866E72-F61C-4EC5-917A-AF92978E180A (resized).jpeg

Nice! I’ll hsve to pay more attention to that ramp shot - it’s not easy but I haven’t noticed a lot of rejects.. wondering if I just wasn’t focused on them now.

I took a look though and my side target plastics are actually behind the frames.

Also wondering if there’s a wizard mode on rocs or final battle thing? No idea how many levels there are..

Just for the record — I am really loving the option of firing up the p3 and choosing different games to play all with 1 module! Can’t wait until more games come out / are made! There are times where I just want a quick game - boom, rocs! Bit longer, CL. Longer still? 2 min swap for llee.

Nice!!! Got down to 2 hits today. Frustratingly close. Just game over after you destroy the kraken?

Is it always just that single one that won’t stay up? I had that happen in diagnostics once when I was just looking thru menus testing stuff. Haven’t seen it again though.

Listened to the ccr interview this afternoon — sounds pretty cool!! Particularly the skill shot triple launch button timing with the magnets - that is gonna be fun!

What constitutes “perfect” in CL? I would expect if you make every shot you attempt? Is it tracking misses that are flipped but don’t sink into a hole at the top and come back to the flippers? Just noticed on the first round - had 2 balls fed and shot up the middle twice to complete but no perfect award? Wondering how that’s tracked then or was this an error and it should have been perfect?

Sounds like there’s more to level 1 than I realized. I thought you just wanted to hit 1 shot twice to finish it quick lol

Down to 1 hit on lracken grrr I want to crack the kracken before I throw Lexy back in

First time for everything.. was testing out the p3 getting it set up for the show and lo and behold:960C9E59-B1E2-46EA-9638-D4670D4C13CE (resized).jpeg

Hard to see - but same trapped ball. Ha! Pretty crazy jump to get in there, saw it in action.

Beefed up the pops a bit, turned off respawn awards so people won’t have crazy long balls and set it to auto load llee on boot up. Strangely it loaded barn yard the first time but then Lexy the next couple so hopefully it stays that way.

Sweet!! End would be best unless you want to pull it out from your line up to swap. You have to do it from the side, yes.

It’s WiFi so you should need an Ethernet port.

Other than that - standardish wms Head so it could be right thru a door frame — it squeezes past mine with about 2mm clearance.

I second toyguy— it’s a 2 person operation really. I’ve done stairs up and down with a hand truck and put legs in and off by myself but it’s right at my limit and not my favorite thing to do it’s difficult to tip over onto a hand truck.. normal pins are no problem but the p3 is weighted heavy in the back.

Nice rule sheet toyguy. I’d add that I don’t believe in weapons lab mode you have to hit the stand up targets before you release the weapon — you just need to hit all the targets (stand up and side ones) in any order. At least that’s how mine works

Double shot multiball... how have I never got this before?!

Weapons testing — mine always awards 2x and then 3x scoring. What is yours awarding?

The times it’s usually crashed on me seemed related to having good games / high scores.. but not always, as I’ve put up some higher scores w/out the crash. If the new unity solves it that would be awesome!

How’s the testing going on the new software? Any word on Cart racing - still out this year? Been a bit quiet. Any owners on here been part of the testing group?

Thanks for the update Gerry! Ton of fixes and updates - very excited to see that released and get it installed!

Nice! Shipping across seas? You may get it about the time the new code all gets released? Be good timing just LLEE module?

Ok that makes more sense. Sweet! Wonder how many of these have exchanged hands on secondary market, I only know of one other.

I’d agree - def too early to sell. Hope to see a new module next year in addition to ccr - is love to see what someone comes up with independantly.

Backbox lcd heck yeah!!! Been waiting for that — that will be awesome for multiplayer games as well as really nice when switching between both modules and software games so it displays the correct art on backbox

Lot of big announcements - software update is huge and ccr shipping to boot! Sweet!!

Wonder what people think of the art? I was happy with original Lexy art myself, curious if it is a big improvement for those that didn’t like the Lexy art?

Here’s to hoping the ccr modules and quick to produce and they all ship out before the new year

That’s awesome to hear! Been on vacation and haven’t been able to update - hopefully this week or weekend.

If anyone orders the lcd would like to hear what they think of it.

Think they’ll ship 1 unit at a time as they are done and tested or will complete batches of them and send them out?

Also is another milestone soon for multimorphic — when all preorder CCR’s ship they will have completed preorder obligations and all future production /orders are generating full revenue for them which will have to feel pretty awesome!

I’m curious if the next module is already being designed, seems likely?

The new code for the ship really speeds things up — love how it immediately pops out another ball. Really nice to have the Kane change detection working 100% as well.

Anyone else notice detection issues on ROCS sometimes between the ball and the smallest rocs?

Also - my rightmost wall sometimes doesn’t stay up during rocs and warehouse mode. Is there an adjustment for that?

Thanks Gerry — I’ll take a look at that and see if something is hanging up.

Thanks for sharing — looks like a lot of fun, and adds a lot of value to the CL module

For those with ccr— I just got mine installed last night and was curious — there’s no Ethernet jack connection on mine, not needed on ccr?

Yep +1 to this. I loved the game but that would def add a needed element for a fun 2 player game. I’d like to add that plus a 3 inning 2 player option.

I heard multi was removed for now as it didn’t integrate well with the racing theme/concept. Maybe back in code update?

Ha! I thought of the same thing Aaron

Cheeks I agree - but I see the rationale too. I think the key would be several different selectable modes at start — traditional racing —or other rulesets and/or modes.

I wish I could have played linked at tpf — machines physically linked on ccr seems like the best way to play it.

Technically the modes are there as time trials between each race. They just don’t feel that different from a race though imo— I like your idea on qualifying races and perhaps qualifiers are short and you only get 1 or 2 balls? Actually I’d wnjoy that on races as. Challenge — lose x balls on drains And your out.

Has anyone beat Lexy? Is there a final wizard mode??

I was playing afm last night and just thinking again man — this is so perfect to port to the p3, with cool animations across the pf and things to ‘pick up’ with the ball. Everything fits perfectly on the 1/3 upper. I’m sure licensing puts this out of the question unfortunately. Be a great one off project for someone though

I had found that the tolerances on the ccr pf were pretty tight compared to lexy and CL. Took a bit of force to get it in and out a few times and then seated a bit better — albeit still tighter than the other two but Gerry can def. help you along with the whole team at multimorphic — when I had a different issue I received an extremely well done documentation with good pictures to assist with the issue — all in a matter of a few days. By a long long shot I’d say multimorphic has the best and most responsive Tech help when you need it. They also have a great bug reporting system as well for smaller issues they might address via coding.

Two player would be huge on gsr— esp if the second player could control pitches or outs via Bluetooth/phone kinda like what JJP had going with the DI app.

Regarding ccr and traditional play — wish I had held on to my P3 to try this! In a home environment as the only P3, the module was screaming for this coding/play

Video taken down? Can’t find it now

That upper flipper module is badass! Well engineered, cool to see it out of the game

All the support I received was at lightspeed

I was thinking similar — the canvas is nice as it is light and doesn’t take up space when removed but I do think some plexi glued/bracketed together with a top, sides, and front that slides over each Module (route channels for it in plywood) would look great as well. Could even do some custom graphic decal for each module on the plexi.

As a former p3 owner, I can say I dig the road case idea. The only issue I see is making them still fit under a pinball machine for storage. The boxes just barely make it under, but if the road case had similar dims that would be awesome
