[QUOTE="Richard B, post: 155422, member: 306"] Got VP working after so long! The problem is the program gets into registries which causes security issues in the latest operating systems. It's due to sloppy or antiquated programming. That aside, the new tables are fantastic! Only trouble is, it's the three bears all over again. TPA makes tables easier than IRL (though much less so from STTNG on), while VP is often much harder than IRL tables - I couldn't nail the rocket ramp on Apollo 13 once! The sounds are definitely an improvement though, and the physics on the newer tables are mostly spot-on (you have to judge it on a per-table basis.) Sometimes though, they nail it, like the recent T2 (the latest in the always great Chrome edition). This not only played better than TPA (no more endoskeleton SDTMs, like in TPA and previous VP versions), and nailing those ramps was also much easier than TPA and earlier versions. It's been so long since I played a real one, I don't know if it's more accurate, but it certainly is more fun. The only downside are the cannons. Not one successful hit in any games. [/QUOTE]
