[QUOTE="codinghorror, post: 251412, member: 3350"] There are a handful of topics on multiple monitor (aka "pincab", but really it's just multiple monitors) support in TPA that date back a few years but nothing recent. Is it still planned for TPA to get support for 2 or 3 monitors: 1. playfield (portrait, widescreen) 2. backglass (ideally 4:3 but good luck finding one these days) 3. DMD monitor Don't get me wrong, current portrait orientation support is (makes kissing sound and hand motion in front of lips) excellent and much appreciated but official support for monitors #2 and #3 would be out-freakin'-[i]standing[/i]. Adding multiple monitor support has been discussed, it's even mentioned in [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pinball_Arcade]the Wikipedia article for TPA under 2014 plans[/url], but the silence on it over the last 2 years has been nearly total. I am hoping for a semi-official response from the TPA devs: I will invoke my crappy 15 minutes of Internet fame, I am co-founder of Stack Overflow which is a Wikipedia-like Q&A site for programmers, and I [i]guarantee[/i] the software developers who work on TPA have been to Stack Overflow at some point when coding TPA. Soooo.. from a HUGE fan of your game, who [url=https://blog.codinghorror.com/your-digital-pinball-machine/]owns a pincab[/url], supported and tweeted out to my 200k Twitter followers about multiple TPA kickstarters in the past, and also owns *every* TPA table (and a couple TPA tables on multiple platforms, even)... could I get down on my knees and beg for an official response on this for 2016-2017? From one fellow programmer to another... please? [i]Pretty[/i] please with a null pointer reference on top? ;) [/QUOTE]
