Quoted from dougPDX:

For balls coming back down the Black Panther loop, where do they drop on your machines? I get far too many SDTM. Sometimes it kicks over to the left flipper, sometimes it catches the right. Seems like it should be a consistent drop to the left flipper...

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

anyone able to get a levelling disk kit 535-2390-00 and DHL it to me in the UK? LE version thanks. And thanks to the folks who PMed me (but had pro version).
Thanks,
Neil.

Quoted from KnockerPTSD:

The biggest flaw in my game is still the bloody auto plunge. It fails about 80%. Prongs are lined up nicely. Really takes the momentum out of the gameplay and messes up the Soul gem

Quoted from Bos007:

since I put an e-clips on the mech, never had this issue anymore
[quoted image]
even had to lower the power from 255 to 225

Quoted from Bos007:

I put on an e-clip so disassembly wasn't necessary, nevertheless the clip stays firmly in place.
The prongs cannot move right of left on the shaft anymore.
I guess a washer could do the same.

Quoted from TheLaw:

With mine (Premium) it's all aboot ball speed.
Slow balls got to right flipper, fast get a bounce and go to left. So there is a weird middle speed that can go SDTM; not too often though.

Quoted from J85M:

How much is yours off Neil?
Mine was slightly high at the back (between 11 and 1) after I messed about with it out of the box, got fed up of waiting for the fixes so wedged a couple small nylon washers at the back of the mech and it’s perfectly flat now mate.

Quoted from mbelofsky:

I know that others have posted about the end credits, which I think are pretty nice. But this is at the end of the credits and thought this was also really nice of them to do. Chas was always available and helpful every time I called.
[quoted image]

Quoted from Fezmid:

Nice! Where are the end credits, I haven't seen that yet!

Quoted from mbelofsky:

Just keep the game in attract mode and the “stars” of the show will show up with their photos and names, then the names of the people will show up like the end credits with Chas showing at the end.
I was working on my Hulk Avengers so noticed this while AIQ was in attract mode.

Quoted from Eightball88:

There is a setting where you can make the credits come up more frequently than every 20 cycles. I like the credits so much I set it to every 3 cycles!
I had been dealing with Eddie Yates on my disc/walking mech issue and it is cool to see his name come up!
By the way, does anyone know what gets your name on the high score list for “Black Panther champion”?? Also, what the heck is “super slings”?? I’m thinking it’s some kind of joke....or is it something real?

Quoted from Eightball88:

Quoted from Eightball88:

That would make sense, and very fitting.
By the way, super slings is level one Thor perk. I’ll try to pay attention to the slings next time I get Thor powered up.
I love the latest code, especially the CM binary multiplyer. I got a 352m soul gem jackpot thanks to CM! It was a break through game for me...made (and won) BR and got trophy mania (huge points) but fell just short of Battle Thanos. I had all 6 gems so every time I spelled STRANGE I could collect an avenger at the portal. I think I would have just been awarded 1b points if I had collected avengers again(?). Almost 3.5B points....nearly doubled my previous GC score!

Quoted from Eightball88:

Hmmm I must be misremembering exactly what happened. I know at one point I was spelling STRANGE and it was allowing me to collect an avenger each time...because there were no remaining gem quests to play?

Quoted from Eightball88:

Hmmm I must be misremembering exactly what happened. I know at one point I was spelling STRANGE and it was allowing me to collect an avenger each time. Maybe it was leading into BR, not after, because there were no remaining gem quests to play?
I was actually trying to get computer frenzy (which I’ve never done) but got to trophy mania instead. The other feat I have yet to accomplish is collecting a gem via the Hawkeye Challenge.

Quoted from awesome1:

Great score! After Battle Royale and collecting (or battling for) all 6 gems, Battle Thanos would have been ready by spelling STRANGE.
I have battled Thanos multiple times and was awarded the 1 Billion when I had all 6 gems, but I haven't made it to trophy mania yet... my best currently is 23 trophies - one short of getting to the mode!

Quoted from John1210:

I've had my premium for some weeks now with slow improvements as I learned the game and averaging now around the 700 to 900mil. Problem is I can't seem to crack it into the billion or beyond amd my scoring has plateaued. Anyone else been in this boat? Any tips to go from reasonable scoring to the next level would be awesome. I've experimented with moving gems around etc but I still feel like I'm missing something to generate a bigger score.

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

Gotta nudge left to right, just before the shooter lane exit and it will prevent it.
Mine does that too. Money making feature lol

Quoted from awesome1:

Those are decent scores! How far are you making it to get those scores?
Definitely locking one or two balls before gem quests and bringing in a Thor or Iron Man multiball with it will generate more points.
With the latest code, getting the Captain Marvel Binary multipliers can be big. Put the Reality gem or Soul gem on Captain Marvel can lead to lots of points as well once you have Binary multiplier going. Soul gem shot can be worth a lot that way after completing another gem. Reality gem on CM and Super combos going can also get big scores for that mode.
Having a Level 1 Mind gem going into Soul gem quest should allow you go for the "Hard mode" which can generate much bigger scores in that mode.
Defeating Thanos attacks and getting victory laps can be worth big points.
Of course all of these are easier said than done. It's rare I can set things up and then pull it off multiple times, as you need to do well with some good luck in multiple phases to put up a score of a Billion plus.

Quoted from Pin_Fandango:

This game is so difficult, I try to play a game to relax and and have a good time and end up all worked up cursing at the cheap drains and the crappy score after sweating like a false witness. Lol
This game is hard!!

Quoted from dougPDX:

True! That's why my next pin is Deadpool!

Quoted from Tekblade:

Hello Fellow Owners... Got my Pro early January.
I played both the pro and the premium before buying and maybe it was the machine or maybe the luck of the draw, but the subway and CM loop turned me off to the premium pretty quickly. I am very happy with my pro. I realize this is as much about personal taste as it is reliability and to each their own.
In the first 3 weeks I have had my pro, I only had issues with my spinner not being level. I reached out to Stern on Jan 27 and they said sounds like I needed parts. After way too many back and forth emails about serial number... then what model... then where to ship... then oh here's your order number.. finally after saying the game was unplayable due to air balls and not wanting to damage any other parts, they overnight UPS me the parts which I got today. Just over 2 months to get parts is not the first time experience I was hoping for. I received the playfield protector, the leveling bushing and the e clip and doc 755-7712-00. I replaced the parts and my spinner still isn't level, it seems the spinner rod is bent. The document did reference a leveling and magnetic sensor calibration per the provided supplementary instruction sheet... this wasn't provided, but luckily I found it on this forum. It helped me verify my sensor was getting good signal, but it does nothing to address the spinner runout (level.) After splitting the difference using the leveler, I no longer get air balls, and seem to not get any balls stuck on the spinner lip.
I upgraded to 1.00 pro code, and immediately had reboot issues. The game rebooted after exiting the settings menu. The game rebooted at the and of each game when the game over splash screen would normally switch to an attraction video. The game rebooted at the end of every attraction loop. Based on feedback in this forum, I reflashed the SD card, and that resolved the reboot issue.
I have several mods, and ordered several more in the last few days. One of my favorites is my thanos plunger and I'm really looking forward to my new sanctum and active lighting mjolnir.
Questions for this group:
Settings menu descriptions? I have looked for info on many of the settings, mostly because I tried to troubleshoot if one particular setting was causing my reboot issue... some of the settings names are vague and I'm not able to glean what the setting actually does.
Coil stops and sleeves? What kind of impact are we talking here, my game has less than 100 games due to the spinner and I'm wondering if I should be proactive and get these now... I acknowledge I have not done my homework on this topic. I read every post in this forum AFTER 1.00 fw came out.
Does Ray have a multi pin/digital pin? Seems his room is way to small for all those pins he makes videos about to fit in the same spot in front of his closet. I ask this in jest concerning Ray, but more because I am curious if these are anywhere near worth playing and may be a second pin in my future.
Thanks to all who contribute to this forum, it has helped me a lot today!

Quoted from colonel_caverne:

Hi,
Does someone provide the clear plastic on the left side of the captain marvel ramp or is it a DIY? How to install it?
Thnaks

Quoted from awesome1:

On your coil stops and sleeves question - Yes, I would recommend you order a set for each of the 3 flippers. Should be under $20 total for all 3 sets at Pinball Life or other pinball supplier (before shipping). The ones used by Stern will generally not last past 500 games. These are pretty easy to change and won't take much time. If you don't change them they will eventually feel weaker and could get stuck where they no longer flip. At ~5000 games may want to change them again and also the plunger and link for each flipper as well. These are normal wear items on any pinball machine. Also keep the game clean. Wipe the playfield down regularly and wax with your preferred wax. Novus 1 works well to also wipe the flipper rubbers and other rubbers to clean them as they will slowly get black from the pinball dust. Also replace balls around every ~500 games to keep playfield wear minimized and new balls will also play faster.

Quoted from Tekblade:

Thanks so much for the information. I have browsed pinball life and see many coil stops. Not to sound dumb, but I assume the "classic stern" coil stops are the ones I need as I didn't see any other stern coil stops there. I assume these aren't the same as already in my machine.
I looked at the parts reference in the manual to determine if I need the #6 or #6 and #8 coil stops, but the parts reference doesn't show the screw size. Which size do we have on AIG Pro, 6 or 8?
EDIT: posted too soon, what size coil sleeves are AIG PRO, flanged or "regular"? sorry for my ignorance...
Any info is appreciated!

Quoted from Fezmid:

Are the ones from PBL or elsewhere better quality than Stern's, or will they all start failing at around 500 plays?

Quoted from jlock:

Finally blew up my Pro today (by my standards) after 400 games...894 million, 15 trophies, 4 gems, almost made the third set of collected avengers. Now need to figure out how to use gems well and maybe I'll break 1B.

Quoted from Valorguy:

I have an AIQ LE - (Back story) --- Stern just shipped my playfield replacement (Fully populated) due to issues with the old playfield. I just plugged in the 3 wires and the Cat cable from the backbox. I started up the machine just knowing everything would be PERFECT, lol... THEN - issues. Keep in mind that the old populated playfield I sent them didn't have anything wrong and the game played flawlessly. This new playfield should have been plug and play (reversing
the removal process with the new one).
I started out by launching the ball with the middle button on the lock bar. This happens - Once the GI comes on (About the time you would use the right flipper to send the ball (1st flip of the game) to the tower). I press the left flipper and the flippers (both right and left) go dead (Frozen for a second) and the LOWER Left GI goes out. They both flutter on and off for a second or so (Both the GI and the flippers being intermittent and dead like at some points in the seconds that pass). The Lower left GI the goes out completely and the flipper work again.
You can play game after game (New games) and nothing more happens. BUT the lower left GI won't work any more. When you reboot the game, this same scenario plays out over again.
I left a support inquiry for Stern since this is their new playfield they sent me. Really disappointed, but I have no idea how to diagnose these things. I have a job and other responsibilities to take care of, so I don't have a lot of time to devote to this. Curious if anyone else has ever had this issue, or what this possibly could be. There are NO ERRORS listed in the service menu and the boards all check out fine.
Thanks in advance. I am assuming Stern will have to send someone out to look at this - but MAYBE it's something easy to fix.

Quoted from awesome1:

Sounds like a connection issue to me. If the new playfield came with the node boards already on it, i would reseat all of the cables, including the ones that came on the playfield boards and start there.
