Your description of the flipper behavior isn't quite accurateYou can feather the flippers in tpa, it's just that it doesn't have the desired effect. The flippers in tpa have no acceleration so on a real machine if you only return from end of stroke say 5 or 10% and flip again, the flipper will only accelerate to a fraction of it's full speed by the time it returns to its end of stroke; where in tpa the flippers will flip full strength regardless of how little they've returned.Honestly, this is the aspect of tpa that annoys me the most. And it's the one aspect that keeps the game from being a true and serious pinball sim instead of just a game.Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to dump on the game and I truly love it and have boatloads of fun with it but I've said this all before
