[QUOTE="dmil666, post: 278100, member: 7265"] Good points, and situations that I've found myself in more than once, now that I think about it. I've tried pausing TPA to take a better look at a place on the table and you get that damned 'pause menu' that you can't move or see around which made me think unkind words about the designers. That's made me get in the habit of doing my looking around post-mortem on a game. I still prefer the way that the TPA version actually functions once you're in it over the Zen (old eyes need magnification), and I'd probably be more in tune with the Zen tool if I could get it to work from the keyboard. The Xbox-style controllers are rather uncomfortable for me to use (old finger and wrist joints) plus they just don't 'feel' right for playing pinball. Whine whine. If Zen could get their exploration tool to work from a keyboard and have a magnification function, I'd be a happier camper on their tables. Cheers p.s. I use the funky angles all the time in TPA exploration. The balls-eye view can let you work out why a ball acts like it does in certain areas, plus it's just cool to see how the tables are put together and to find artwork that you normally can't see very well in the camera views. Pinball tables are a pretty unique form of art. [/QUOTE]
