Message: <blockquote data-quote="MagnumXL" data-source="post: 219017" data-attributes="member: 2512">I cannot find a key in keyboard mode to move the shifter upward (to go to a higher gear for the Video Mode).  That kind of makes the Video Mode useless as you really need to be in 5th gear to complete it easily and quickly.I'd like to see a CREDIT button key for the Pro tables to play in Credit mode instead of Free Play (like VP has).  I'm not sure if the "enter" key works as a true start key in Attack From Mars for the Martian Bomb mode (nothing worked on the Mac version; haven't gotten around to getting a martian bomb in the Windows version yet to verify; maybe someone can comment).As for Getaway's turbo charger glitch; I've seen the real machine fail to open the gate on time on some machines, but it shouldn't happen that often.  A few "glitches" that real machines do once in awhile would actually make it feel more real, but it should be uncommon on a machine in good condition.It'd be nice if they would go back and add things like a working DMD on the backbox itself on older tables like Theatre of Magic (and/or GI effects, etc that newer tables like Addams Family have).  I really feel they should offer PRO versions of tables like Theatre of Magic and Cirqus Voltaire.  I realize they didn't have them at first, but people who bought the regular versions could still upgrade and the Pro Packs should offer them for free as updates since the Pro versions cost just as much more on the first season as later seasons.  This just strikes me as them not wanting to spend time fixing bugs and updating when they can be making more new tables faster to make more money, but it cheapens the overall experience, IMO.  A great table like Theatre of Magic should not be penalized for coming out first, IMO.  (and yes I have Windows and OS X versions here in case some assume otherwise by my computer list)Some of the tables don't really feel right for the flipper aiming.  Theatre of Magic is the table I'm best at in real life (I can shoot nearly every shot at will for hours).  When I aim for the center ramp for the left flipper it goes toward the right inner loop instead.  The right ramp is way too easy to shoot and the center ramp too difficult to shoot.  I realize Visual Pinball had a lot of problems with realistic flipper aiming as well (I know as I made over 30 recreations for it), but here it seems like a little tweaking could fix it (whereas no setting in VP worked for all shots compared to the real thing; I picked the best compromise I could find for each table I made, although many authors had no idea what the real tables played like).  Some tables feel better than others, but admittedly I haven't had a lot of chances to play many of these tables in the real world for some time (I've played nearly all of them and a lot more for real at some point, though).  I actually live near the Papa tournaments so I do get a chance to play a good selection of tables once a year, but I missed that they moved it up this year.</blockquote>
