I found out an elasticity value of 0,85, together with the rest of my settings, was ok for hard or thin runner, and 0,95 for normal thick rubber. Juan Pablo Everything you do for the community is appreciated.Ībout the flippers being hard: Yes, that's how I adjusted them. This is mostly for authors who want to try my physics on their tables. Flippers should work just as good on older tables than in new tables. Rubbers should be rubbers on all the tables, they should not change elasticity or friction values, and the same applies to metals, plastics and wood. To do all these I wanted a set of values that should be the same on all the tables, older and newer, and they should be easy to add to a table. Better ball bounce on objects, mostly rubbers, both at higher and lower speeds.Reduce ball rebound on top of a flipper when it is up.Do some flipper tricks like drop catches, cradle separation and backhand shots.Stop the ball making strange stops and changes in speed or direction.The same for the flippers which were missing some functionality, and the shooting angles were not optimal. I always felt the default physics made the ball feel more like a football (a soccer ball) or even a billiard ball, more than a pinball steel ball. But I wanted to use what VPX has to offer, and simply adjust some parameters to make the tables play a little closer to a real pinball with a few simple settings. Many other authors have made their own changes and all them are quite good (like ClarkKent, nFozzy and Rothbauer). But there were always a few things that I always felt they could be better. For several years I have been using the default VPX physics, which are explained in the file PhysicValues.txt, and they are quite good.
