The main goal of Space Shuttle is to lift off the shuttle by shooting down the drop tragets, and once you did the first time, countdown number 5 gets lit, shoot all the targets again, 4 gets lit and so on and on.
But in the Zaccaria app you only have 1 ball to lift off the shuttle successfully... because once you loose your ball everything gets reset back to the point where you started off with.
Take a look at this yourtube from Space Shuttle:
At 1:40 the guy shoots down all the drop targets. But instead '5' gets lit, the whole row gets lit.. Now something interesting happens when he looses his ball at 6:35 with 1 drop target left: when a new ball enters the playfield the drop targets do NOT reset back like in the Zaccaria app, but remembers(!) he got 1 drop target left! As well as the table remembers the countdown numbers.
In other words, the Zaccaria app does not remember anything when you loose your ball, and so it is nearly impossible to ever lift off that shuttle.

Yes confirmed Night.
- I noticed too that the shot down drop targets are not memorised by the table but get reset everytime.
- While watching the video i also notice there's also quite some respons from the bumpers which are placed at both sides of the center mushroom shaped bumpers, causing quite some bal interaction at certain times, this hardly occurs with the A.S.K version.
- And as a reminder i just want to mention again, there is no sound FX programmed for the (astronaut) bumpers who are situated at the sides of the tip of the wings.
Also theres hardly any bumper respons noticable on these bumpers as well when compared to the real Zac table.

To Zsolt, just want to report again that the bumpers at the left side of the mushroom shaped bumpers are not reacting

Also the (astronaut) bumpers left and right at the tip of the wings are not reacting when the ball hits them

These are not slingshots. (see the playfiel lay-out on the manual: http://mirror2.ipdb.org/files/3263/Zaccaria_1980_Space_Shuttle_Italian_Manual.pdf ) Or do you mean not scoring? They can use more rubber bounch.

Thats true but when watching the vid of the real table, theres much more bounce on them causing a nice dynamic interaction with the ball.

Thanks Snorzel, you did very well with this table! I think it's one of Zaccaria's best.

Issue - in metal fx mode the planetary spinner is blown out with light.

Plunger issue, when the ball enters the plunger area it takes quite some time before its placed in front of the rod and is ready for plunging.

I have a recurring issue with the ball getting stuck in the Special cup at the top center of the table. The ball fails to eject and then just rolls around in the cup when I try to tilt it out. This happens to me every four or five games.
