Does this mean that we will not be getting Indianapolis 500 right away?

It's being released as soon as it can be. The next update will contain the New UI, Indy 500 and the upcoming table.

Indy 500 is out, and no new UI.

We released the table as soon as it was approved, however the New UI is still development.

Just checking back in on this. It's now been six months, yet there's been no update. It's interesting that when I play TPA on my PC's Steam account, it has the updated interface and looks (and plays) great -- even though the PC is running emulated on my Mac. But when I play the same native Steam account on my Mac, it's back to the old buggy interface.

No paragon for Mac App Store or steam on Mac. Flippy Floppy, could you give us an update on why, and anything else that might be happening with all Mac versions? Thanks.

We were close to adding controller support and the option to change keyboard mappings like steam currently has so we held off on the release to finish implementing it. I apologize for the delay.
That's remarkable news! 
I feel compelled, however to ask (once again), What controls will we be able to configure?
I assume some of the basics, like (up to) 4 flipper buttons, left/right table shake, and ball launch, but will there be an option for camera positioning? Table select? Pause/Resume? Some other function that will seem obvious once it's implemented?
I ask now, because I'm entering the fabrication phase of my project (which, with any luck, I'll be able to talk a little more openly about in a couple of months...)

Don't forget nudge up. Left and right are all that the Mac has now, but up is supported in PC land (and on real machines, of course.)That's remarkable news!

Thank you... Good to know!
So... If one had a console with flipper buttons on the sides, and left/right nudge buttons on the top (within thumbs reach of the flippers), would it be better to have two sets of buttons (one each for up/down and left/right) on either side, or one button on either side (one for up/down, and one for left/right)?
I currently have one button on either side...
