    How to enable TATE mode?

    Thanks for the information, gust334. I ended up getting cabinet mode because I prefer view 4 (total top-down) to any of the TATE / normal views. Played around with it some and it looks like the playfield monitor has to be portrait or it doesn't work, which is a shame as it is physically big...

    How to enable TATE mode?

    Never mind, figured it out. Yeah, TATE isn't as good as true cabinet support (at least based on the videos showing it in operation). Second question -- for now my setup would be a large (65") TV in landscape with a small (20" or so 16:9) monitor for the backglass / DMD. Does cabinet mode...

    How to enable TATE mode?

    How do I try TATE mode with Steam? Want to see if that is sufficient before biting of $150 (or $500, gulp) for true cabinet support. Thanks!

    Uggggh. Now I'm torn about what to do. Buying both is a very, very unappealing option. As for Steam (seasons) vs. FarSight (seasons and individual tables), I hate it. I ended up double-dipping on a few seasons I bought through FarSight as well as the Kickstarter tables just to ensure I had...

    Yeah, the need for me to hunt down a Kinect 3D even if I went the Arcooda cabinet route is annoying, means I'll either go the $149 (I do have all seven non-pro seasons purchased via Steam, not FarSight) or $499 non-Arcooda cabinet route. The advantage of the $499 is that it is completely...

    Sorry, one more question -- Will the Arcooda cabinet itself include the Kinect 3D hardware? I'm torn between going the $149 route and hopefully building a cabinet or taking the deep plunge and ponying up for an Arcooda cabinet (though pricing may kill that, haha) -- if their table includes...

    I was wondering if the graphic enhancements (lighting, etc.) are only seen when running in cabinet mode (so, multi-monitor) or are they active even when playing TPA normally?

    Firepower cabinet art skewed and out of place.

    Any word on progress towards fixing this? I know it is minor (doesn't affect gameplay) but it is annoying to see all of the other cabinets in such great shape when scrolling through and then hit this one.

    Trading Cards issue?

    I bought seasons one and two in the Steam store and not in-game and it says I'm not eligible for card drops. When I clicked the link it said I'd be eligible for a card drop per $9 spent in-game. Is that really how it works? Sure would've been nice to know that ahead of time. =/

    Fuzzy fliers?

    Awesome, thanks for looking into it guys! Most are OK on the PC, but some like Fish Tales are really, really low res.

    Pro or No?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm tending towards just going non-pro for now, and hoping that cabinet mode doesn't require pro (I can't imagine that it will -- as many pre-S3 tables have no pro mode). I just don't think I'll use the features enough to justify the 33% more sticker price...

    Would you like to see original tables?

    I'd be interested as a separate app, similar to "Pinball After Dark", but not as part of the main seasons -- I like that reserved for recreations of historical tables.

    Fuzzy fliers?

    Yeah, I'm not asking for museum quality archives here, but being able to read it sure would be great. I think that the equivalent fliers on the PS3/4 are much crisper.

    Pro or No?

    Andassaran, thanks -- I guess upgrading is an option and as long as I don't upgrade too many tables I still come out ahead (as long as I spend less than $10 on pro upgrades). gypsyshred -- I hadn't realized that portrait mode fills the need to really see the table well. I also suppose that...

    Fuzzy fliers?

    Are the fliers (under Extras) fuzzy for everyone on the PC? I know it isn't as important as the table itself, but I enjoy the "historical" aspects of the tables including the fliers. Hopefully (assuming all have the issue) FarSight will update with higher res fliers.
