iOS Version 1.2.3 Feedback And Discussion

Attack from Mars is ridiculously fast on the latest iPad. It's like it's playing twice the speed it should. Harley was crazy fast but not near this table...

I mentioned that during the beta, but most didn't seem to agree with me.

Speed is ok on the ipad 3, can't speak for the 4.

speed is good on my ipad1

I like the speed of AFM. It feels like a freshly-cleaned table, and makes for a more interesting challenge.

Really enjoying AFM. All the mooing and frequent talk of cows is particularly pleasing.

It seemed fine on the iPad 3. A well-maintained real AFM can be stunningly fast, especially if the outer loops are open and the ball can go screaming around the back of the table and down the other side.

Yeah, I'm told AFM is fast - MM was supposed to be a slowed down version

Can someone clarify a small issue for me? According to both this forum and FarSight's FB post on this month's iOS update, AFM/Genie is Tables Pack #8; however, according to the app itself (when you go to purchase this month's tables) and FarSight's post on the Mac update, AFM/Genie is Tables Pack #10. I had previously thought that single-table releases were being numbered separately from multi-table ones—is this no longer the case?

The Jet Bumpers on AFM are really getting on my nerves
Especially when the ball moves through them, even touching the bumpers, but they simply don't engage.
Is it this hard to get Super Jets on a real machine?

Nope. I'm playing on ipad 4 and the speed is correct. A good AFM really is that fast

No, the jets are piss poor compared to a real AFM.

It happens occasionally that a ball will slip through to the scoop without hitting the bumpers on the real table, but not nearly as often as it happens on TPA. Either FarSight's real AFM has lazy bumpers that need to be repaired, or something's gone wrong in the collision detection in the bumper area.

Came here to post about the jets on AfM. Seems I'm not alone.

This is a problem that needs addressed. Not sure if its appropriate for glitch thread. But I hope devs are aware.

Is it just me or does it seem like the sound overall sounds like poo? Like its not 44.1khz 16 bit audio but rather 22khz 16 bit and slightly over compressed. The android and Xbox versions have MUCH higher fidelity audio on all tables. This is on an iPhone 5, OS 6.1

 

[Worf]

The original pin audio is quite low - on the non-DCS table, if you're lucky it'll probably be 11/22 kHz at 8-bit. On DCS, it's 32kHz/16bit. It's quite likely iOS doesn't support those rates because well, it's kinda ancient and little used - most will be using 44.1kHz, or 48kHz audio. So the audio would have to be resampled...

 

[Andassaran]

See that's the thing. They ALL sound like they're downsampled. Even the DCS tables like Monster Bash sounds like its been downsampled to 22.1khz 8 bit
