[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 152404, member: 3745"] It's luck that the method happens to hit the hardest target on the Flight 2000 table, but it's not luck that I found it. I do this sort of thing analytically on most TPA tables. For every eject, try all combinations of holding or not-holding flippers that the ejected ball will contact and see if you can find some outcome that is helpful and guaranteed. This lets me find things like on Ripley's holding the upper flipper for a perfect catch after the continent scoop kickout, or on TZ holding the upper flipper to feed the left inlane after a lock eject. I just had never thought to try eject manipulation on Flight 2000 before. And I tried many combinations of drop targets and held flippers before finding that particular magical one. The best way to find one thing that succeeds is to try many things that don't. Every railroad that works comes from trying many that didn't. AntonR, thanks for the Android testing. How exactly does it not work? Where does it go wrong, where does the ball deviate from the path we see on PC? [/QUOTE]
