[QUOTE="Espy, post: 121741, member: 3553"] One of the main differences with real machines is if you tap the flipper button very briefly, the flipper will move very slightly. Same with letting go briefly from upright. With TPA, flippers ALWAYS go from 0% to 100% despite how lightly or quickly you press the button. So skills that rely on that kind of thing (like cradle separation and the impressive looking tap pass) don't work. Zen Pinball allows this kind of thing, at least it doesn't have binary flippers - I haven't tested the actual techniques. Posting the tap pass video just because it's so cool...
