Gates are proving to be a problem on specific tables (Cyclone, No Fear, etc.) Are we expecting a rework of them anytime soon?

Tap passing is an integral part of the game on most 70s and early 80's pinball games. Will we expect the flipper physics to change specifically for those games to allow the ability to tap pass (Doesn't have to be applied for mid-80's games and beyond)?

The quality of recent releases has improved much since Seasons 1 and 2. When are we expecting these improvements applied on earlier tables?

ROM Emulation on Black Knight, Gorgar, Firepower, Black Hole?

Ball spin implementation (unless it applies to Physics 4.0)?

Will flippers get a rework so you can stagger flips on tables like Fireball?

How's that Construction Set coming along?

edit: Pinballwiz45b means actual tap passing, not what you might confuse as flick passing. They are similar in 'minimal flipper distance traveled' but where that travel occurs is at the base for tap passing and at the end of stroke for a flick pass.

Mods? You are wanted in this thread

So, I wanted to update this thread with a bit of information...

It appeared to many of the mods (and likely users) that the forum was hacked, or that an imposter was granted "FarSight Employee" status. That's not the case. I received an email from a FarSight employee asking me to grant access to a new hire, which I did. The person registered using a FarSight email address, and came from a FarSight IP. As to the weird posts here... I can't explain that, but I have a call in to someone at FarSight Studios. Maybe too much pinball CAN be bad for your brain?

The mod/admin team has been doing an awesome job at ensuring that spam posts and accounts are dealt with immediately, if they manage to make it through the account approval in the first place (where nearly all of them are caught).

Dude, calm down, he's only one person. Don't flood him with so many questions like that. Better to ask only one at a time.

I didn't know we had a limited number of questions. Sorry. I edited it.

Also, I don't remember typing "blah, blah, blah".

So I take it there is a problem with Fredosonofgodfather's account? Gotta say I've found his posts a little odd from the get go...this thread for example is pretty much like begging somebody to beat you with a baseball bat really. lol...

To anyone wondering what the fuzz is about. Many of his posts have been deleted now. They were a bit strange and hard to understand, to put it mildly

PS! Gord, you and the moderators are doing a fantastic job on this forum and it is greatly appreciated.

Oh... so then... is this thread legit or not?

Oh... so then... is this thread legit or not?

At this time, given the evidence, I'd be inclined to say this thread is about as legit as either of the US Presidential candidates.

In that case, why is this thread still open?

So what did he write? Because of the removed posts, one can't follow this thread anymore.
