[QUOTE="lio, post: 176354, member: 3222"] The more the merrier... VP/FP/Unit3D/TPA... These days I mostly play TPA though... it's just convenient, all in one GUI, no different executables for different tables to get them to play right and usually they at least look better as well (also I prefer the realtime rendered 3D nature of it). VP has great potential and it can create really nice looking tables that play fantastic but it's a mixed bag - some tables have multiple recreations or are optimized to be played with a certain version of VP so you will always have to invest a bit more time to get things right. I love the community around it and the fact that it's not just a "player" but also a creation tool and it's always cool to see the workarounds people come up with to get around certain limitations of the program and it's great to see that there is still life in it after all these years (I have been following VP for around 15 years now) I really like all of the creation tools for different reasons and I think they can peacefully co-exist. However don't forget that TPA is the only one that does it right in terms of licensing and being legit about what they do - also they can reach a far greater audience due to supporting so many platforms and I really like them for what they do by bringing pinball recreations to the masses - so even if a certain tables might be better in some other pinball player I think it's certainly worth supporting TPA by buying their product.
