Actually you can increase the detail level to 2 and also turn on post processing. However, for me these settings are not saved. When you turn on post processing, the tables are a lot darker.
I just tried a Logitec Joypad. I can nudge and plunger, but the flippers are NOT working!
I can activate the flippers, but I wouldn't say they "work." To activate the flippers I have to press in the analogue sticks.
