They make special glass now...InvisiGlass I think it's called...very expensive but it makes it from a player's perspective like there's no glass at all. I played a Wizard of Oz on location under a track spotlight that normally would have made the machine unplayable with glare and it cut the...

To be fair, you've been more level-headed about it than most. I don't mind people asking the question because they genuinely want to know. I mind when the question gets loaded with undeserved aspersions directed at the FarSight development team.

Not really. It's usually more of a sign that my patience is about to run out.

Thanks superballs for responding to all that. Now I don't have to. ;)

Lol, fair enough. But you do have a resource here before you touch the machine for the 4th time ever. ;)

Ahem... For Those About to Rock: AC/DC Premium/LE v1.65 Ruleset

Mike and the other developers who visit here are not responsible for setting the priorities for adding features to TPA; they are responsible for implementing the features that FarSight's management decides are important. For various reasons, FarSight's management appears to have decided that the...

If I had to guess, I'd say that management wanted to come out with a Wii U version, the developers tried and saw it was not possible, management told them to make it work somehow, the developers tried again and reality said "no, this really is not going to happen", and then it took a while for...

One of the FarSight employees generally wanders through the master issues lists an average of once a week. Considering my work schedule keeps me from updating them more than about once every two months, I'm not sure blame is properly directed at FarSight in this case. The platform bug threads -...

Depends on the game. Oblivion will happily let you mod/outright replace the game executable with nary a complaint. Other games puke if you so much as change one byte in a resource file.

Whoa Nellie! Big Juicy Melons is being explored by Stern for a possible manufacturing run. If that happens, FarSight may have digital rights to recreate it from day one. An exciting possibility...

Surprise: Class of 1812 - By all rights, I should find this table simplistic, boring and annoying. Yet I can't stop playing it. Letdown: Twilight Zone - Unless/until FarSight restores some semblance of the real machine's dignity as one of the ballbreakers of the pinball world to their version...

Oh, sort of like how Bethesda stopped working on Oblivion and left customers with over eighteen hundred bugs, ranging from obscure to savefile-corrupting, that eventually had to be fixed by the community? Yet Oblivion still sells...and sells well!...on Steam, despite the fact that the game still...

I have friends who are lawyers, but that doesn't mean I'm suddenly qualified to say that "X should be an easy case". It's the same with software development. You are relatively new here, and so you may not realize you're the 10th or 11th person over the years who has made a "FarSight should...

The issue is that Space Shuttle, Flight 2000, Haunted House, and Centaur use four different chipsets and so require four different emulation frameworks. Not all pinball machines were made the same, and developing new emulation tech to accommodate the different ROMs is a heavy and lengthy...

I feel sorry for the poor attendant who gets called to remove that ball.

Best to keep your timeframe expectations tempered. In addition to the lengthy submittal process, Microsoft often rejected FarSight's earlier table pack submissions for arguably arbitrary reasons. I'd also think that since 21 months' of DLC is being reviewed at once, it'll probably take Microsoft...

OK, that's something new then.

As a test, could you try changing to a different ball skin and seeing if the Powerball turns white, and letting us know either way? There was a bug a long time ago where the Powerball would only be white if a non-default ball skin were used. For whatever reason, that bug resurfaced on every new...

The poll itself is fair game for satire, but insulting other members is not permitted. Please PM me a link to the post where you are called "retarded" - I'm having trouble finding it - and I'll take care of it.
