Marvelous graphics and superb animated mechanical detail but...
!!!WOW!!! I would gladly hack this review software just to give this clock ver. 1.3.1 (3) SIX stars and a heart IF only the chimes and bongs worked properly. At 6 PM I get two quarter chimes and six bongs, 6:15 PM silence, 6:30 PM no chimes - one bong, 6:45 PM silence, 7 PM two quarter chimes - seven bongs, 7:15 PM silence, 7:30 PM one bong, 7:45 PM silence, 8 PM two quarter chimes - eight bongs. Oh, I see a pattern here but not a Big Ben pattern.
As a simple workaround I set the “No sound” option in this app and then installed Clock Chimes app (no graphics just Westminister chimes/bongs) to run in the background - they sync beautifully together but I much prefer the Big Ben chimes/bongs sounds in this app.
UPDATE: MY MISTAKE. Because the chimes sound just like the Big Ben bells, I expected the Big Ben patterns of bell strikes like most grandfather clocks also have. 3Planesoft support just responded to let me know that my Mechanical Clock 3D chime patterns are actually working as designed (a pattern I have never heard before) and have little to do with Big Ben.
