    Request General Wish List Thread

    I have seen screen-shots of those ports. You are not missing anything not having the PC version. I did find an event camera in another area. I also found a multi-ball camera. I found the camera lock. This appears to be the one to turn on to get the follow the ball camera off. Confusing...

    Request General Wish List Thread

    I spent some time looking for camera angle settings, yes, but did not look hard enough until you suggested they were there. In of all places 'Controls'. To me controls is the input to control the game, not settings. By this thinking everything should be in controls. However this is nice that the...

    Request General Wish List Thread

    The game is off to a good start, but as far as lighting it has a way to go. A request? I certainly hope it's a WIP. Unless someone use to play pinball with their chin resting on the lock-bar, something I never have seen, they could not be happy with the camera angle. This is disturbing, and...

    Specifically recoil. Google Recoil. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Pinball is not immune to this law either. But recoil IS gone. It was not only there in VP8, it was always there. Directions are not a problem, power is not a problem, though I think defaults should be...

    VP use to have pretty decent nudging. It's a command that reacts to a keystroke and bumps the display on the monitor and has an impact on the ball. Of course cabinet users don't want to see their playfield jolt because the whole cabinet jolts with a physical nudge. It's a great feature that...

    I have played many hundreds of VP tables, have followed it from it's first release and have used the editor sense V3, have put together a couple re-creations, and have worked on the source code. I also made a bagatelle editor based on VP code, replacing the flipper with a nail. I have also came...

    No table re-creation that Farsight has planned is not already done in VP/VPM. These that are already done has used that IP without license. It would be shady at best for them to throw their licensed IP in that mix. Their refined resources are are going to be used by VP table builders either way...

    The very last thing VP, VirtuaPin, or Pinball Arcade can do is make a pinball game. Anyones pinball game. Licence or not. They both make video games. You can pretend that it is pinball just as you can pretend that Sega's Daytona USA IS auto racing. It is the IP holders of the theme that can and...

    I too was once one of VP's biggest fans, but that changed when it went commercial.

    If they stay within the terms then there would be no risk. Unless they build in support for Virtuapin cabs as they have been asked to. Then they would be the only legal part of that, software wise, and that is only if their license is to create content for any platform they wanted to which I...

    Farsight might take the position that the money spent on the rights to do this was just to spend money and not to actually buy something, that is true. They might also be stupid enough to allow some to infringe and actually sue others. They will have to answer for the position they take though...

    It's never too early to speculate about law. This notion gets people into trouble. People should always speculate on this. The backlash of not taking action would set a precedent that they could surely not afford. You think they would spend many thousands then imply through inaction that that...

    Yeah, roms certainly are not the main point, except for the copyrighted material in them. I too agree with karl. A license holder does not have to produce a product to hold that license unless it was part of the deal, which in this case is very unlikely because the license is broad, licensing of...

    Pinball Arcade for the PC will most likely be a Visual Pinball Killer on a table by table basis anyway. However, a license must mean something but if it doesn't, it doesn't, And by doesn't it means for someone else. The tables at VPF may be free, but they are not licensed, downloading is...
