TDA Pinball

Description
A pinball game with flashing targets and score tracking.
Right now it requires the Football (Soccer) mod, because that's the best ball object I could find. You can put whatever object into the Plunger Ball Cargo and work with it.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Get in the control chair. Press 3 to view main camera. Press 8 to add a ball. Press 9 to launch balls. Press 1/2 for Left/Right flipper.
The Flippers aren't hold-down-buttons, so they automatically retract after a second using timers.Try not to press again before it retracts. If it rests in the wrong spot, Page 2 action bar has manual control.

ISSUES:
Some things are not perfect, but I might just be done working on this,
Flippers have damaged the nearby walls and balls slip through. Sometimes balls fall under the flipper rotors, but collectors should gather them to storage. Attempts to improve paddles did not work out.
Could use bigger, slippier balls. That would require mod knowledge. Soccer balls for now.
The add ball button works only as fast as a connector can throw them out.
There could be more features on the board. Well I made three working scorable targets so I thought that was enough for now.
Every so often gravity bugs out and balls float? I don't know. Gathering up all balls seems to fix this.
Point of note: I originally had a mechanical plunger, but it proved to break down too often. I feel like a cheater to use gravity, oh well.
