[QUOTE="Day, post: 78540, member: 1967"] to add to the chorus of whingers.....if only to state the 2 outlane drain instances that leave me somewhat frustrated: i) the ball accelerates down and lands squarely in the middle of the left inlane, and in real world physics, all momentum would be absorbed by the inlane walls, momentum & speed killed and the ball would continue on down the inlane. on TPA PinBot the ball will somehow wriggle back up and over into the outlane.... gobble, burp, more please! ii) the ball will be travelling back up the left inlane at speed and will travel vertically up beyond the end of the guide rails/post separator. without any collisions and whilst travelling vertically upwards, on descent the ball will suddenly vector leftwards into the left outlane i accept most losses arising out of propulsion from the jets into the outlane, or any other vector that puts the ball squarely into the jaws of left outlane oblivion.... but the above 2 cases just really cheese me off Oh and whilst on the subject, weighted steel balls do not travel horizontally across space on an inclined playfield without any rate of descent at all (in defiance of gravity).... sure the greater the speed of the ball the slower the rate of descent, but some of the ball antics in seeking out an outlane drain belong to the world of quantum mechanics ;) here's hoping the implementation of advanced nudge control on android will help to redress the imbalances here [/QUOTE]
