Fish tales flippersetting?

[bavelb]

Ok, so I know FT has shorter flippers However has anyone ever heard of a flippersetting where you cant keep your flippers up for a cradle or catch?

Was at my local pinball arcade today and figured Id try FT out but then this weird thing, where I could only flip, happened. If I kept the button pressed it lowered again.

pretty sure the machine is broken and needs a flipper rebuild - shouldn't do that...

 

[bavelb]

both sides though?

It shouldn't be doing that. There's no operator setting for such a thing in FT.

 

[The loafer]

it's busted

Oh, tad guilty I didnt let them know now.

I sort of assumed it was some sort of effed up tournament setting. They also had their Twilight zone ****ed up with a really annoying decal on the glass over the playfield. IT was the swirly Twilight zone logo stuck on the glass. So you have to peek through the swrls to follow and aim the ball. I figured it was for some sort of tournament or challenge, but it was really dumb. Talk about ruining a great playing game.

So I figured the FT was on purpose as well. Oh well. Thankfully everything else played great (and normal).

I have played on a real table (not FT and can't remember which) where it was set up like that, but it was done on purpose. It truly messes with your head. I've played on tables that were set up for foot peddles too, but the worst is when they set it up for 'drunk flippers' where left is right and right is left. In Cactus Canyon Continued that's actually a mode.

That would screw me over big time. I'm a stop and go player 90% of the time.

Not gonna lie, I usually just mash the flippers like a little kid when a game mode inverts them, unless I'm playing for score.

Either it's a electrical problem or the operator Jimmy Rigged the machine.
