Technical Questions for Cabinet Builders

[Loadedweapon]

Yea I like VP but I really love the options that propinball are working on and the more 3d depth views really look good on the cab and I think it will add so much more to the game. I can't wait to see it in action..

This all sounds good - It makes sense to put at least a little perspective on the view when using a cabinet as otherwise the perspective would appear strange with the screen at a typical playing field angle (Due to the height between the playing field and glass, and all that lies in-between)

I fully trust the PP team to do this right! It's good to hear from Ade that they have cabinets very much in mind.

Thanks. We should have some more cabinet test renders to share soon.

I know from looking at the cab builds the people have put up at VP, that the builders have laid their play field on a flat plane ( zero degrees or minimum degrees slope ) with the slope of their play field glass at a more elevated slope to give their cab the look of a real pinball.

My opinion, at least from judging by the look 3D test views of Timeshock ! that Ade offered up, that a cab builder is going to be better served by keeping the slope of his play field on the same plane, or parallel, to the glass that is covering the play field. Otherwise, the builder is going to wind up with a "double depth look" (for lack of a better phrase).

Mine is nearly in line with the glass but the back is a little lower.

[Loadedweapon]

Yea mine is even with the glass. . Just looks much better that way..

[settingsons]

Same for me. The screen is angled the same as the glass. About 4 inches down from the glass.

A lot of the VP tables look like they are sloping the wrong way with the monitor at the glass angle. Surely this is worse with the monitor flat?
