    Thread for irrational dislikes

    Kick-outs that aim SDTM. You have to hit them and then they betray you. Shouldn't have to shove the machine to save a ball that's returning from a shot you're supposed to make.

    What is it about side-buttons that make pinball feel like pinball?

    Yup, modded my iCade for my iPad first, love it love love it. Zen on IOS doesn't support it so I modded one of my USB arcade sticks to play Pinball FX and TPA on my PC. I'm rockin a 22" monitor in portrait mode and it's so good. BTW, anyone know how to get the iCade working with Zen via...

    Your Dream-Themes For Tables That Don't Exist

    Yeah, Python is another fantastic choice. Certainly Holy Grail comes to mind but MM kinda ruined that. Just a bunch of nods to sketches and a table filled with Gilliam art would be awesome, though. Lol, while we're on Gilliam, I could probably comes up with a bunch of ideas for a Fear and...

    Your Dream-Themes For Tables That Don't Exist

    I was originally thinking of hacking as an unlicensed theme but then Neuromancer sprang to mind. Extork Neuromancer is an 80s Sci-fi novel about a hacker/junkie who is recruited for a virtual heist against an advanced AI's security network. The novel coined the term "cyberspace" and was a...

    Tables in the most dire need of overhauls/updates

    You're right, they're more like bad JPEGs. It makes them look like a Zaccaria table. isn't it ironic that prioritizing some of the best and most iconic tables in season 1 & 2 caused them to be the most inferior conversions?

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    Oh, hey, getting back on the rails - I, too, really dislike video modes. If I wanted to play video games I wouldn't be playing pinball. The DMD games are simple yet difficult, mainly due to awful collision detection and limited computing and display technology. They pretty much all suck and...

    Your Dream-Themes For Tables That Don't Exist

    If we are talking completely original, i'm also surprised that there hasn't been a pin based on "hacking" into a computer network. Maybe a table inspired by Neuromancer.

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    Breakshot has some boob stuff happening in the DMD. Guns n Roses is REALLY bad, the table is covered in scantily clad babe'z and the match is literally a girl taking her shirt off and the numbers cover her nips. When I first really started getting into pinball last year I began a quest to seek...

    Thread for irrational dislikes

    I also can't stand Stern's photoshop tables. I get the use of non-actors sound bytes, that's a money thing. But the tables are visually hideous and don't age well. For the most part I dont like plastic ramps, wire-form all the way... Although honestly this just applies to Stern (sigh). Stern...

    Your Dream-Themes For Tables That Don't Exist

    Hey folks. Seeing tables like Oz, Alien and Lebowski made me think about other themes and licenses that would make awesome pinball tables. What do you dream of when you think of tables you wish existed? Here's some of mine: Twin Peaks - so many ideas! Lots of characters and locations for a...

    Tables in the most dire need of overhauls/updates

    So anyone who plays TPA regularly knows that some of the early tables look very inconsistent with the rest, particularly when it comes to textures. Which ones do you feel really need a make-over? For me: Bride of Pinbot - these textures are unacceptable! It looks muddy on iPad, on PC it's...

    Directx 11

    I'm having an issue in DX11 where all the colors and blacks seemed washed out. Room at max darkness is more dim than dark. Everything seems a bit muddy. Contrast this with DX9 where everything thing is very red/pink. Both look pretty bad, the lack of clarity has me still using my iPad over my...

    Red tint/saturation in TPA DX9. & DX11 on my PC... Please help!

    Lenovo Y50 Touch. It has an i7, 8 gb RAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M. Great little mid-range gaming laptop but sadly the LCD screen is where a lot of costs were cut. That's why I bought a 22" ViewSonic that can rotate to portrait mode. Sometimes I hook it up to my TV to watch movies or game as...

    Red tint/saturation in TPA DX9. & DX11 on my PC... Please help!

    The PC version of TPA has a very red tint to it on my laptop. This is a problem only in TPA, both DX9 and DX11, and only in-game. Menus looks fine. My other games do not suffer from this issue, and the red tint is there when I hook it up to my plasma tv or lcd monitor via HDMI. It's a total...

    What is it about side-buttons that make pinball feel like pinball?

    They're the same HAPP arcade buttons on any american arcade cabinet, but having them on the side makes all the difference. I've been trying all kinds of control inputs for playing digital pinball, from traditional gamepad shoulder buttons to keyboards to arcade sticks, and nothing really felt...

    PC dx11 lighting vs PS4 dynamic lighting...

    Sorry, but it's difficult for me to take you seriously when you can't be bothered to use periods... My laptop runs TPA dx11 fine. Constant 60fps with anti-aliasing and high settings. Fact is, the lamps are more blown-out, colors bleed, the game looks muddier in places. I'm comparing the two...

    3.0 physics for older tables on iOS... When?

    Xenon, Road Show, Safecracker, The Getaway and F-14 have 3.0 physics on iOS. Today, I was surprised to do a live-catch in Medieval Madness and determined that both it and Monster Bash have the 3.0 physics too. Tried more tables but these are the only older tables that seem to have them at the...

    Transporter, Mousin' Around, Space Station, Fire!, Police Force, Jokerz, Party Animal

    I could easily live without Dirty Harry or Demo Man. I feel that the unlicensed tables should be a priority due to the lower cost and hi-quality. I want to see as many of them make the cut as possible.

    PC dx11 lighting vs PS4 dynamic lighting...

    So I have the game on both platforms and I feel like the PS4 version of the game looks better overall, bugs aside. Can't quite put my finger on why... Of course, PC having 3.0 physics and portrait mode make it the superior choice regardless, and I like the lighting sliders too, but I just can't...
