[QUOTE="Jeff Strong, post: 146222, member: 3"] I wouldn't say TPA is a "true simulation" due to the tables in general being significantly easier than the real machines and the exaggerated nudging. If Zen is the Mario Kart of Pinball, then TPA would be the GRID, which features real cars and locations, but the physics are a mixture of sim and arcade, so it's not on the same simulation level as Gran Turismo or Forza. Some of the VP tables would be the only virtual pins I would be inclined to label as "true simulation". On a sidenote, Pro Pinball's physics are definitely at the top in terms of realism, but of course the pins aren't modeled after real machines, although they're designed in such a way that they certainly could be real pins.
