Nice! That's awesome you landed one. This is at the very top of my wishlist right now, I really love this game.

I picked up my WCS on Thursday of last week. I was out of town, so didn't get it setup until Saturday, but I got quite a few plays on it since then. I did end up beating Germany, and the game has been a lot of fun. I love the way the ramps feel, and a well placed goal shot is very satisfying.

Does anyone have any game specific setup tips to decrease ball time a bit?

I felt bad that you'd be making the trip to play a game you already own, so I also picked up a 4mbc for you to make your future trips worth it!

The game plays really fun the way it is, so I don't know if I want to completely 'bastardize' it (yet). I like the idea of removing the kickback on ball start, and I'll check out some of the software settings. I may purchase some lightning flippers to have on hand, in case I ever feel like tossing them on there.

I want to have something again soon. I've had a lot of things going on, but things are starting to settle down. I'll definitely let you know!

Looks really good. I really like the way you did the ultra inserts. I may have to steal that idea!

I put one standard purple LED into the 'worldcup' inserts to see how it would look. It was ghosting pretty bad, so I guess I'd have to have the anti-ghost rom installed before doing all of the inserts..

So what kind of software adjustments have people made? My outlane posts are already up, and I like where they are. I wanted to toughen up the rules a bit, but I may have made them a little too tough.

Here are some of the adjustments I've made:

- Striker award no longer awarded from unlit goal - I actually thought that I had an opto problem or something when I was getting this awarded, this seems like a no-brainer to turn off.

- Kickback not lit at ball start - I'm on the fence about this one... lighting that kickback is pretty tough. I guess you need to roll over the right inlane, and then hit the target in the time limit? Do I have something else goofy that's making the light so difficult?

- Ball save reduced from 5 to 3.

- Striker award only lit once, not every ball.

Some of the things I'm on the fence about:

- Number of kickbacks - it seems like if you start them unlit, it may be alright to allow more than one at a time, since they're so difficult to light.

- Goal lit once? Every ball? Never? - I'd like to know what PAPA does. Right now I have it lit once, that seems pretty fair..

- Extra Balls - I like my extra balls , but I've made it difficult as a striker award and city award. I can't decide if they should carry over?

I'd love to hear what other people think!

Well.. it certainly couldn't have anything to do with my skill level..

I think I'll be tossing LED's into WCS at some point. Right now it resides between Wh20 (which I've led'd more than I ever thought I would..) and AC/DC Premium. WCS is definitely the odd man out, looking quite a bit yellow.

It should be with them off, but I leave the rubbers on (snicker) to aid in alignment. Just jam the tooth pick in between the bottom of the flipper and the rubber.

You could just get a color DMD in your STTNG, then move the DMD over to WCS.

Well, that timing may just align for me... keep me in mind!

I liked the 4 colors on the lightning, too. I wanted to make it so the bolt would correspond to the shot, but not really easy to color those shots to match. I like the way yours looks, kjm, looks to be all cool whites?

Good idea, I didn't think about the post sleeves.

I like that! Are you also doing the cab?
