I own 3 pinball machines, which 2 are Alphanumeric (Rollergames, Robocop) and the other is a LCD (Black Knight: Sword of Rage). The LCD machine has many audio adjustment options available, while the 2 alphanumeric tables use a manual potentiometer (aka POT) switch to adjust the volume.  Yup! When Pinball FX 3 (and its predecessors were) released, the game was only designed to work using a dot-matrix display. I can just image the struggle Zen had with incorporating the alphanumeric display into an already released piece of software.Something that I can point out from my 3 machines is that the default inclines vary from era to era (EM, Numeric, Alphanumeric, DMD, LCD) and they also vary by company to company. FWIW, Williams used a default of 5 - 5.5 degree incline for their alphanumeric tables, while their DMD tables defaults were 6 - 7 degrees.Breaking a contact (NDA; NonDisclosure Agreement) can get real nasty real quickly. The repercussions range from termination of contract to lawsuits.</blockquote>
