[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 27371, member: 558"] I completely missed that as well. I knew that Whirlwind has two-stage flippers (that didn´t work on PHOF), but had no idea about RBION and Funhouse. What a gamechanger! No more spilling your nicely trapped ball during an upper flipper shot. I think I´ll just stop playing Whirlwind completely and wait for the TPA version now. Also, I kinda wish Farsight would also add d-pad/facebuttons for flippers as well. I know most people will prefer the shoulder buttons, but I find it to be a bit tiring for longer play, and it feels a bit RSI-inducing to me, I much prefer dpad and buttons on games like Metroid Prime Pinball. I mean, it´s not like shoulder buttons are more "realistic" anyway. On a real machine, you´re using your whole hands (and arms) for flipping, I never liked the feeling of the "guntrigger" motion in my hands, I find that using my thumbs for flipping feels much more ergonomical, and as I´m getting older I tend to care more and more about the health of my hands.
