[QUOTE="trash80, post: 283891, member: 7578"] As someone who has done quite a large amount of development with both the FP and VP platforms over the years, the FP physics (even with all the custom XML and BAM related extensions) is so far from ever being remotely close to behaving in a rational and realistic sense, it doesn't matter how good a table looks. There is also the other issue with FP not supporting VPM. "Dynamic Flippers" is not promising, and is just more duct tape and bailing wire tied to the "built-in" underlying and extremely old Newton Game Dynamics engine (which has some baffling errors in the implementation within FP). I think most of the FP table authors are finally accepting that the platform will never be more than a curiosity, and we are beginning to see conversions of FP tables to VPX format with positive results.
