[QUOTE="MattW, post: 272874, member: 5566"] My quick impressions with three screen after a weekend playing. The benchmark for me is FreeCameraMod + DMDExt. That gives me the camera angle I want for the cab, my DMD running on machines that have one, and a static backglass picture. An amazing pair of tools thanks to Freezy and NoEx, but takes a ton of time to configure and setup. Having the camera already set in cabinet mode is a nice timesaver for folks that haven't already done it with FCM, if they add more than just one camera angle that is even better. But really not giving me something I don't already have. The DMD support is a wash for me, same experience camera mode or not. If Freezy can bake in full support for the new cabinet mode, all the better. Having the score on the backglass for older tables that do that is the big step up in term of experience - and games like Safecracker and Elvira play the way they were intended. However, I am very let down that the back glasses are totally static otherwise. Basically unless a light or function is core to the gameplay on the backglass, it isn't implemented. Playability-wise that is fine. But for a true pinball experience, missing the rest of the lighting is a disappointment. VP tables with B2S back glasses are superior. Only major issue I have seen with 3 screen so far is Gorgar scores not showing on the backglass. Screen positioning and sizing is clunky but gets the job done. Otherwise pretty solid. Hopefully that and the additional camera views are fixed quickly. So is $149 for scores on the backglasses worth it? For me, yes. For others, maybe not. FreeCameraMod and DMDExt can get you 80% of the way there with a little elbow grease. Plus FCM can give cabinet camera angles for *all* the tables, not a subset. [/QUOTE]
