[QUOTE="BostonBuckeye, post: 273801, member: 4431"] I agree 100%. I have SPBA and regular TPA on both Steam and iOS and everything is superior in SPBA except for the GUI which is horrid in SPBA. The physics are more realistic, the lighting is more dynamic (even on iOS), color/shading looks much better and the games play more difficult. One of the things I first noticed in Stern PBA is that there appears to be no railroading of shots like there is in TPA. The vacuum ramps in TPA are pretty much gone, but the railroading still exists, even on very well tuned tables, if ever so slightly. When you play Ghostbusters you can really see the performance/lighting/graphical difference between the two apps. The one thing I am curious to know is if FarSight received the source code from Stern for the older tables now in SPBA like RBON, LAH, HRC and POTO or if they are still emulated. If they are running the source code then this may mean it is not possible to run emulated tables using the SPBA engine. This may be why Flight 2000 isn't included in SPBA. FlippyFloppy, Can you weigh in on this conversation and let us know if running the emulated tables in TPA using the SPBA app/engine is even possible? Is this what you are looking to do when and if you ever introduce Physics 4.0? [/QUOTE]
