[QUOTE="TNT, post: 224480, member: 5244"] After not playing VP for about six months and just getting back into it again both have their + and -. I think the physics on both TPA and VP are good. It seems that VP tables usually have a slightly increased virtual slope so the ball "drops" faster. However on something like F-14 TPA table slope feels the same. Maybe it's the Steve Ritchie tables? The ball drops fast. I have noticed, for me at least, it's tougher to place shots in VP (haven't tried physmod yet). It may have something to do with I am still relatively new at tweaking VP tables and their parameters. Graphically even though VP is making great strides tables still don't look as 3-dimensional as they do in TPA. Setting VP up can be somewhat of a nightmare. In fact I was ready to give up when I first tried it as I couldn't get it to work and the tutorials are quite long. If it wasn't for Jeff here on this site and his simplified instructions I most likely would never have gotten it to work before I gave up. Obviously TPA is great for plug and play. And has been mentioned the quality of tables in VP varies dramatically. The best tables are awesome but the worst tables are low in quality. The best of both worlds is playing both. [/QUOTE]
