[QUOTE="MagnumXL, post: 219872, member: 2512"] Things I've noticed is that several tables from the first season don't have "Pro" tables (e.g Circus Voltaire and Theatre of Magic) and that should be rectified. Not only did the Pro table packs cost just as much more as newer seasons (with less Pro tables), but there's no good reason NOT to have them with those tables and not reason they can't be updated to offer them (include them for people that bought the Pro table packs and offer an upgrade price for those that bought the basic table and both for people that don't have those tables. What's so hard about that? Why don't older tables get more "love" for updates? The DMDs "work" in attract mode on the newer tables, but just have a static image on the early ones. Why not update that too? I don't get it. I realize time can be at a premium, but it's been YEARS. A few updates here and there would be most welcome. I worked with Visual Pinball over a decade before anyone ever heard of this simulator and it was no big deal to have access to operator menus (including ones for pre-DMD games where you could easily have DIP menus that either let you change the dips directly or "translated" for you (i.e. click to select 3 or 5 balls, etc. and set the appropriate dips switches internally for you). Why that would be any kind of problem for the Farsight team is beyond me. If I could do it with a few lines of Visual Basic script, they certainly wouldn't have any issues making a fancy graphical selection menu.
