    BUG: Upper right flipper to bear kick ramp I thinks it's just the weird physics of TPA, but I've played a lot of Addams Family on location, and I've never seen this shot even be remotely possible. In TPA I've already had it happen like 5 times in one day. The ball shoots from the top right...

    Would you tilt at this point?

    The real table is more exciting because the left ramp is freaking brutal. But ramps in TPA are set for easy mode, which makes a table like this way too easy.

    Mac - Bug Impossible backhand

    This is the same as on ST TNG. Heretic, this isn't about back handing from the lower right flipper. That's normal. This is about doing it from the upper right, which makes zero sense as it means the flipper basically breaks the laws of physics by pushing the ball left, then flipping around and...

    Where randomness is good in digital pinball.

    Yes, however the physics behind the phenomena that make pinball appear random are likely too intensive to be simulated by most of the TPA hardware. Instead some amount of forced randomization on the kickouts and such could give us the same effect with less hardware processing needed. I mean...

    Bug Ball ejecting near crate

    I think the game either needs to make a lot of ramps steeper (I'm looking at you Creature from the Black Lagoon) or add friction. I believe rubbing on the wall in TPA doesn't slow the ball down, which is why you can make UGLY shots that clear ramps. I've had the slings make ramp shots on a lot...

    Right upper flipper to right ramp..... WHAT!?!?

    In another fine example of pinball physics, today in iOS TPA I was able to send the ball all the way up the right ramp from the upper right flipper. Look at the angle of that shot. There's no way something like that should be possible. I don't think it's possible to touch the inside of the right...

    Bug Ball ejecting near crate

    It's crazy that it took over a year, but its finally fixed!! The ramps are still too easy, but at least this bug is fixed.

    Are they going to explain Season 3 to fans before putting it on sale?

    I've had more glitches in one week on Fish Tales than I've had in my entire two years of TPA until now. Games starting in multiball, multiball starting on lock 2, balls draining but the table still thinks there's a ball in play. A pretty much impossible fast cast due to the lack of live...

    Ball through the flipper

    I was in instant multiball. One ball on the left flipper, the other was in the bumpers. I let the left flipper go down and took a shot to the right ramp, but it went straight through the flipper and drained. It wasn't near the tip, it was about 3/4 of the way down when it teleported through the...

    First impression

    The bottom play field seems to like having the ball magically fly through the flippers when the ball gets moving fast.

    Bug iOS Version 2.7.0 Bugs

    MadScience, I have an iPad 4 and I've put ~8 hours into Whirlwind and have yet to see a single frame of stutter. I'm kinda over the table for now because of the bad plunger that allows for easy multiballs, but I still play it from time to time with no stuttering.

    Nudging Overpowered?

    Nudging is just completely broken as it stands right now. Entirely too powerful. My solution would be variable nudging. We'd have at least 2 different nudge strengths. A quick tap/slide would result in a very light nudge (about 1/4 to 1/3 the strength of the current nudge). These light nudges...

    TZ Tactics and Strategies

    It's about risk/reward man. Watch the pros play. Keith Elwin and Zack Sharpe (the two greatest pinball players around) wouldn't attempt a Mansion/Slot Machine shot from the opposite flipper most of the time. And they're faaaaaaaaar more accurate than me or you. But if you lose just 1 ball from a...

    Table Pack #18 "Speculation"

    That's not so much a hint as just telling us. Not that I'm complaining! I'd rather have TFTC, but we may see that in #19 since we had 2 Halloween tables last year.

    Request Difficulty Settings

    I would give my right arm for the ability to alter kick out power/randomness. On real tables, if you hold up the flipper during kickout you'll usually hit slings or it will go over slings and in danger of outlane. In TPA holding up the flipper is a safe catch on most tables, which makes things...

    Why Has the Launch Button Moved to the Top Right of the Screen?

    I like to put it right on the border of the flipper zone and the touch tilt zone. It's easy to hit there and hard to hit by mistake.

    TZ Tactics and Strategies

    Yeah, that's how the TZ's I've played work too (like the ones at PAPA). It's like trying to shoot the Mansion shot from the right flipper on Addams Family. Doable, but not worth the risk/reward.

    Will FarSight release a Halloween Themed Table Pack 19 (October)

    I played Haunted House at PAPA this year. It was kinda neat, but it wasn't really a game-changer to me. It seems quite similar to Black Hole. The upper playfield was a nice touch, and I was able to keep it going up there for quite a while, but... it just didn't do it for me. The whole middle...

    Pinball perfection

    On topic... has anyone actually been to this place? Do they take really nice care of their machines? After going to PAPA this year, I've pretty much sworn off playing pinball anywhere else. I've played around 20 non-PAPA tables in the past few months (since I really got started back into...

    Hey Farsight, Take a Break!

    Why do people keep saying this? It was NOT fixed. I still get ball through the flipper all the time off the Insanity Falls shot when I try to hold the left flipper up to let it roll over to the right flipper.
