[QUOTE="invitro, post: 239888, member: 446"] I'm procrastinating on trying to figure out the PBT*.csv files some more... I looked for awhile last night, and even dug out gnuplot to make some scatterplots, and didn't get anywhere. I'm starving to find out exactly what those TransferPoint rows mean, as I'm not sure if we can go much more forward without that understanding. But in the meantime... Since you asked :), $2 is close to the max extra I'd pay for a table with Pro Pinball physics, if it also had some kind of expert mode that was able to keep the (say) #10 game under (say) three hours. And I'd pay that for about half the current TPA tables, but not all at once. If I weren't also relatively broke, I'd pay more, maybe $5-7... I'm guessing I'd pay $10 total per table for a "perfect" simulation. (I know, I'll be first in line to pay $10 for the new tables in SPA, knowing that they will be imperfect, and not being sure that they are worthy tables, but I've never played those as real machines. If a "lost" 1990's WMS appeared, I'd probably pay $25 or more for its simulation ;).) [/QUOTE]
