These pro modes are such crap and offer little value.

[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 256569, member: 3745"] Pro Pinball is the gold standard for pinball physics that I know of. It simulates all sorts of incredibly fine details, things like proper acceleration and deceleration curves for the flip and hold coils, the ball sinking into the flipper rubber, friction between colliding balls, roll and spin in all spatial dimensions. When you simulate all that, events like drop and live catches and post passes and cradle separations all emerge naturally, complete with the proper influence from an adjusted slope, rather than as predetermined hardcoded railroads like Farsight's. I know this from firsthand descriptions from Ade back during the development of Timeshock and BRUSA where I was a playtester. I haven't really played any other recent pinball sims besides TPA so can't say for anything else. Visual Pinball as open source could support any engine that anyone has developed; I don't know what exists in that area. [/QUOTE]
