[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 126398, member: 1290"] I think a lot of the little things are still way off realistic on PA. Personally I have had very little play time on real pinball machines so its harder to spot exactly what is wrong. However, I have been watching YouTube videos of No Good Gofers and immediately noticed the following. The lighting seems like blobs of light not actually coming from bulbs. Also the table artwork seems to be "simulating" decal burn from the bulbs which makes it look even more bloomy. Come on Farsight, nobody wants to own a worn out pinball machine, this should be simulating a well looked after table with pristine high resolution artwork. The ball feels glued to the table, real pinball is a lot more erratic and fluid. Things like how the ball speeds up, its not so linear - although I suspect ball spin has a lot of influence here. This is bizarre, you would think ball physics simulation is right at the top of the list when trying to replicate real pinball tables. Bumpers and slingshots (particularly the latter) need good animations if its ever going to feel realistic. Combined with the bad ball physics this feels very wrong right now. [/QUOTE]
