[QUOTE="L33, post: 251332, member: 4681"] I've been asked a few times how things are going with the cab now it's built...so I thought a quick post on here would be easier... Cab is great...so glad I built it, it makes playing VP so much more fun. I have the games on iPad and ps4 but to me, it's so much more fun playing the games on the cab. The only real frustrating thing is the worry of the updates on some of the games... Zen Pinball: This is the least stress full of the VP games. Zen have done a great job with their cabinet support. It's so easy to set up and if anything ever goes wrong or gets changed after Windows constantly needs to update itself, Zen is a breeze to get going again. Just wish Zen had the same physics as TPA... Pinball Arcade: My favourite of all the VP games to play, but also the most frustrating of the games to set up. With no official cab support available the only way to play this currently on cab support is via Noex's mod. The mod is fantastic, and makes the difference between me playing TPA and not playing TPA. Farsight really are missing a trick by not having cab support, and I've no idea why they haven't followed everybody else. But whilst the mod is great, as soon as FS update the game, the mod needs uodating too. Sometimes you can be mid competition, have to restart for some reason and suddenly CS is gone because TPA has updated for whatever reason.

Im in no way moaning about the mod, the mod is a game changer and credit needs to go to Noex for providing the mod...without it TPA just isn't the same, but I just wish FS would provide official cab support like Zen have and take some of the stresses away from setting up the game. ProPinball and Zaccaria Pinball: Haven't used these a great deal, but do have them. Hoping to play these more but most of my time is spent getting TPA to play correctly. Virtual Pinball VPX: Not something I really play...looks complicated to set up and for what I've seen, isn't as good as the above...but I could be wrong Stern Pinball: Not out yet, and no idea if CS would be available...but I sure hope it is. Why create a VP game and not have cab support for it...seems stupid. Fingers crossed.
