Airplane WIP 11 no music

!!! The recent update 0.4.5.20 broke some logic controllers, so the game does not work as intended !!!

!!! WORK IN PROGRESS !!!
I uploaded this unfinished table for backup purposes and to show the current state of this table. It will be removed with the release of a newer version.

You are a pilot of an airplane and your task is simple: Get to the destination.

Your first task is to take off. For that you have to gain height. Do that by simply hitting the bumpers. Every bumper has a little lamp which get lit when hitting the bumper. Lit all lamps of the bumpers and you gain a bit of height (shown at the left vertical panel of lamps going from red to green (at game start the bottom lamp saying "danger" is lit)).

If you happen to get to the green lamps the table switches to "Flight" mode. Now you have full control over height and roll factor of the plane. When rolling the plane to the left or right (by hitting the left or right spinner strong enough to lit all five lamps) and then completing the bumpers the plane will move to that direction (shown with the arrow lamps where the white arrows show the direction your plane is headed and the green arrows show the direction your destination is located).

If your plane is flying straight (no roll / green arrow under the plane) and you complete the bumpers, you gain height.
If your plane is rolled to the left or right (green arrow under the plane) and you complete the bumpers you fly to the left or right by one point .
If your plane is rolled strongly to either side (yellow arrow under the plane) and complete the bumpers you fly to the corresponding direction by two points and lose one point of height.
If your plane is rolled dangerously to either side (orange arrow lamp under the plane) and complete the bumpers you you fly to the corresponding direction by three points and lose height by two points.
If your plane is rolled extremely dangerous to either side (red arrow lamp under the plane) and complete the bumpers you you fly to the corresponding direction by four points and lose height by three points (you are falling like a stone but manage to change direction very rapidly. Like spiraling to death.... )

If you exceed the maximum roll factor the plane gets out of control and crashes!

If crashed (and your crew survived) you have to find another plane. Luckily there are plenty airports and you will find another one quickly. You now have to get rid of the crew of the new plane....just lit all of the upper lane lamps and kick 'em out. (this task is not finalized, yet. It can break at the moment but in most cases it works. I want to change the voice samples, though, and add a music score for this mode).

If you manage to get on course (white arrow and green arrow line up) and lit all bumper lamps you advance towards your destination. I already put some checkpoints to it (the smaller dot shaped lamps) but I have to wait for an update where it is possible to let the game not reset the whole game when losing the ball.
For now nothing happens when reaching the destination - planned is a final, very difficult task where you have to land the plane and get some good points completing it.

It will happen that you encounter events:

Side Wind (from the left or from the right): Every 15 seconds the wind pushes your plane to the corresponding side and you have to counter steer. This event lasts for 90 seconds.

Storm: Every 5 seconds (!) the plane gets pushed randomly to the left or right. This can happen to get pretty hectic. This event lasts for 90 seconds.

Engine Failure: Every 15 seconds you lose one point of height. To stop this from happening you have to lit all upper lane lamps. This event is not finalized, yet, and it may break.


Please keep in mind that this is a work in progress version of the table. It lacks some design elements, sounds, voice samples, tasks, music scores and has some unfinished things here and there, like the mentioned final task and some events not being made fail safe.
