Summary	08286: takeoff: Lives, Bonus Life and Service DIPS no longer correct.
Description	DIPS below Coin B are not correct. Picture below shows Lives DIP set to 3 but 7 lives are given. Changing this DIP does change the number of lives but they don't match setting. Bonus Life DIP is same as above. Doesn't match bonus printed on screen after inserting a credit. This DIP is also affecting the number of lives depending on it's setting. Service Mode DIP not working. Parent set and all other clones unaffected.
Steps To Reproduce	Load and run game. Change DIP settings as mentioned above and Reset game. Soft Reset F3 not working on this one. Repeat for all DIPS noted.

No.20032 Steve Coomber Tester Apr 7, 2022, 18:10	Yeh. It should be a quick fix. So far I haven't found an input for the service mode however.

Seldom is the case although possible. That being said would it not make sense to clean up the DIPS for this and not show all the Unknown which are actually Unused at this time as well? I understand that the hardware would have all these I/O ports available from the start but once the original functions are determined to match the parent set it was derived from can we just hide the uneeded ones from us end users? Pending approval of course. For instance the original Konami The End only had a 5 and Stern had a 6 switch DIP on board, (schematics show 5) this bootleg still has 8 unknowns!
No.20040 Steve Coomber Tester Apr 8, 2022, 08:20	Thanks for information kmg. I expected it to not have a service mode but I wanted to be 100% sure. The driver assumes that there is one currently!! chaneman, do we have a photo available for this board showing the number of DIPs? This will give me justification to remove the unknowns. Thanks in advance

No.20042 Steve Coomber Tester Apr 8, 2022, 13:10	Thanks Osso. I can see 16 DIP switches in total so that probably explains the number of Unknown DIP's.
