[QUOTE="Rittless, post: 259530, member: 6710"] Just want to reiterate that I would be cautious against benchmarking against IFPA videos that will prefer steeper tables. At the very least, there is no guarantee their table is 'stock'. It's an even muddier question for older games where table angle is not even specified in the manual. However the last set of videos is a great example where table angle is not going to be an appreciable part of the speed; it more reflects the tuning of their simulated targets, which are plastic and metal on the real thing. Of course rubber tuning is a factor too. I would reckon that Farsight do this kind of testing/comparison themselves internally. Things like vacuum ramps etc were crutches to improve playability in the early days but their physics model is beginning to mature up to the point where they can dispense with them. Of course ball spin if implemented will really separate the men from the boys... [/QUOTE]
