[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 239071, member: 3745"] This is true, most notably the ball-vacuuming left ramps on Creature and Medieval Madness. We (at least I) don't really call that railroading though. The railroads are going to exist anyway because of TPA's deterministic physics. What Farsight does here is tweak flipper parameters and collision geometry per-table until the railroads lead to desirable shots. Sometimes they get this wrong and the railroads lead to the posts flanking AFM's right ramp and never up it. Pro Pinball's physics engine is still their original one from 1997 on something like a year's worth of development. The Ultra development hasn't touched physics at all yet. [/QUOTE]
