    Details on PC Cabinet support for TPA

    Glad the community is pushing thru the piles of lies, deceit and typical FS smokescreen BS to get this done. I haven't bought a new table in months, and will not anytime soon. Zacc has my money (hey - they actually listen to the people who PAY for the app! Novel concept!) and FS hasn't even...

    So Zen visited Stern today...

    If I'm Gary Stern, I'm going to choose a more proven, bug-free platform to showcase my games. A platform with resources and a track record of putting out polished games across multiple platforms, on time. And that platform, my friends, is Zen. NOT TPA. Too many bugs, and not enough attention...

    Farsight, we're breaking up - It's not me, it's you...

    Is it better than, to run off the majority of folks who actually upgrade their hardware every couple years, in favor of the <10% who are running on a 3+ yr old phone, and 10+ yr old OS? That doesn't make ANY sense. Even MS - the manufacturer of WinXP - has ended any and all support for that...

    Tried giving Visual Pinball a shot

    ^^ THIS. Also, you may need to use a compatibility mode on the .exe depending on what OS you are using. This is the Achilles heel of VP. The good tables meet or exceed TPA's quality. The bad ones are just... bad. There is nothing you can do to clean up source images that are fuzzy and...

    Farsight, we're breaking up - It's not me, it's you...

    This is all the stuff we've been harping on for over 2 years now... I think they would have listened before, if ever. They seem to have their heads stuck in the sand, and are going to get reamed by Zacc and all the other newcomers to this game. Owning the rights to the licenses is no longer...

    Zaccharia for Android: Initial Release Discussion

    Came back here just to say - BRAVO!!! FS could learn a LOT from ASK in a lot of areas. The lighting (one of our biggest pet peeves with TPA) is outstanding. Lighting control sliders! Dark and Light settings! Adjustable physics and camera angles!! Wooo hoooo! The tables play great, the...

    The Simpsons Pinball Party Kickstarter [Speculation]

    The fact that we are even talking about giving FS MORE money, to fix their code and upgrade the experience, is absolutely PATHETIC. Shame on them. Really? You played a broken game one time, and therefore "don't see what the fuss is all about...?" Please, just GTFO. It's one of the highest...

    Historic pinball tables you'd like in TPA

    I'd like to see Comet, Cyclone, and Hurricane. Python's Circus Trilogy was a HUGE part of any arcade in the 80's, and Comet was the first machine he fully built and designed. Would be nice to immortalize some of his original, trademark work for future generations.

    Pinball Arcade with SweetFX - lightness control, bloom, etc.

    This is hilarious. FS won't do anything about the lighting on their "premier" platform, so let's crowd-source it among ourselves!! LOL!! It's so incredibly "hard" or "impossible" for FS to do - yet an open source aftermarket snippet of code can do it. This is great. I'm going to have to...

    timeframe on dx11

    Ah, I get it, you just like playing "grammar police" and giving disabled folks a hard time. You must be hella fun at parties.

    timeframe on dx11

    If you bothered to read his post, and not just his sig line, you would have likely noticed that Frank is fully disabled, and unable to play "real" pinball machines. Therefore, TPA is as close to the "real thing" as he can likely get.

    timeframe on dx11

    That's ludicrous. Putting out quality software and sticking to your advertised release schedule (or even within a couple MONTHS of it) is bad for business? Really? Damn, I've been doing it wrong for 20 yrs! :rolleyes:

    Cool stuff coming!

    Point being - if the views were actually standardized - there would only be two possible views. View 2 shouldn't look "good" on one table and "bad" on another. They should be - the same. One set of views for regular tables, and one set for wide body tables. There is no rational explanation...

    timeframe on dx11

    Wish I could!! FS has made it quite clear with their resource allocation that they care much more about casual mobile gamers, than the real Pinball/VP community. I guess it doesn't occur to them that the true pinheads are the ones who would support this app across multiple platforms, if only...

    Cool stuff coming!

    How about just standardizing the camera views so that each angle works the same on all the tables?

    timeframe on dx11

    Perhaps one day, they'll figure it out... They've already lost all momentum and whatever customer base XB had at one point - and now are jerking around the paying PC and PS4 customers. Just... brilliant. Do they not understand how many sales they are costing themselves with this stuff? Sales...

    Ghostbusters pinball feedback

    I'm with these guys. Weak graphics, possibly one of the WORST table designs to "mod" IMO, and boring gameplay. The entire app is a mess. Hell what else do we expect at this point guys? FS has repeatedly proven they do not care about quality, just cranking out bug-ridden tables that generate...

    Chicago Pinball Expo 2014 (pics)

    Was there myself - what an experience!! Got to play some great games I've never seen in person before, and even set a HS for the day on NGG, one of my favorite Lawlor tables. I was seriously bummed to find out that the "modern" Flip-Out tournament was nothing but newer Stern tables. I mena, I...

    PS3 NA v2.22 Feedback and Discussion

    Is there any *other* reason to tilt a table lol? :p The two things I truly miss from "real" pinball in TPA are ball spin and real, honest to goodness pops. The difference between a new/rebuilt pop bumper and an old, tired one is very noticeable.

    PS3 NA v2.22 Feedback and Discussion

    I was talking about my *real* taxi. In TPA, the bumpers are severely underpowered compared to the real thing. In TPA, a Santa-off-left-pop-bumper shot occurs once or twice a game, it's quite common. It rarely, if ever happens in TPA due to the weakness of the pops. I would say they are about...
