I reported that bug YEARS ago and it never got fixed.  They clearly don't care about the iOS/Mac version to fix such basic issues.  The door panels look weird in TZ on the Mac/iOS version (darker in the corners than when they are unlit which looks BAD when it lights up like it's flipping a tile rather than a light coming on.  The Windows version doesn't have that problem either.  Most of the tables only look bright due to bad gamma settings, etc. and I"m sure they could be 90% fixed with a few small adjustments, but again, they don't care so I have to agree with k88dad to get the Windows version from Steam and use it if you have Windows installed with Boot Camp.  It's a LOT better (and doesn't crash after changing the tables a few times as the Mac version does with regular consistency).  I suppose the fact there even is a Mac version is something as Visual Pinball never was made for the Mac, but it would be SO nice if they could just fix the keystrokes and graphics to match the Windows version (with Metal in El Capitain, they could easily do the DX11 effects as well).</p></blockquote><p></p>
