Hey guys. Haven’t owned Stargate but about 2 weeks. All the sudden I’m getting glidercraft mode without having to hit the pyramid. It’s like it just starts randomly. I’ve seen it hit pop bumpers and start. I’ve seen it hit the Ra’s braclet kickback and start, and fall in the sarcophagus and start. I think it’s only supposed to start when lit and you hit the pyramid.
Other issue I see is the multiball modes either kicks two balls out into shooter lane at times, or when it works properly it won’t kick the ball out of shooter lane into playfiled. Game was playing fine until now. I have been playing in tournament mode with free play. Only thing I’ve really touched is leaf switch on right slingshot to stop it from kicking 5-6 times each time the ball hits it (unless that’s supposed to do that) also adjusted another one on right flipper button to help the upper right flipper work.

Quoted from sven:

It's not in the last ball, when it always starts a free glider craft mode (setting you can turn off)?

Not sure bud. I’ll check. I did review my videos and it looks like I am on the last ball each time. Maybe I accidentally turned the setting on. Didn’t realize it was a setting, if it is. Haha.

Quoted from LTG:

Pyramid switch too sensitive and vibration sets it off ?
LTG : )

Hmm. I’ll have to find the switch and check it. Could be a possibility. thanks

Wow I feel dumb. Thanks for the tips guys. You were correct Sven!
Looks like I have been lucky enough to have started glidercraft mode before the 3rd ball for 2 weeks now. Says in the manual it starts automatically on last ball if it hasn’t been completed yet.
You can change the setting (setting 57) but you have to select fine tune on setting 55 difficulty, fist.

Quoted from sven:

Good to see it's just that. I kinda like that feature, especially for guests, so I left it on in my settings.

Yeah. I swear the first 2 weeks here at my house, I would try to get that rascal to come out to show people, and I don’t remember it coming out on the 3rd ball, even. Not sure why. Maybe it was messed up all this time and finally acting right. Haha.
I thought it was acting strange, but now I know it’s a factory feature, I like it too. Thanks again.

Quoted from PinZig:

This sounds like it could be the shooter lane switch. Try cleaning and adjusting the switch. Drag a paper business card between the contacts to clean, then make sure the ball activates the switch when it's sitting in the shooter lane.

Thanks bud. I’ll give er a go!
