Newest alternative to the Mot-Ion kit is Noah's VirtuaPin Digital Plunger Kit.

Early reviews confirm that the auto-calibration on power-on is solid with none of the jitters and calibration problems of the Mot-Ion kit.  :woot

Mine should be on my steps when I get home tonight......woot!

Edit: Shouldn't have said anything......wasn't there when I got home.   :badmood:

I just threw a sidewinder freestyle pro in my galaxy and it works pretty good. First you calibrate it with the windows game controller ap. Then you need to activate analog nudging in the "configure keys" settings in VP. I think I used about a 12% deadzone, flipped the Y axis at 300% and set the X axis gain to about 500%. I'm sure there is more tweaking to do, but for now this is working pretty good. I screwed the stripped PCB down to a thin board and glued and stapled the board to a cross brace in the cabinet. I think I got it for $22 off ebay including the USB converter.

MTPPC:
I've picked up a few more machines to try this test on, but VP seawitch is terrible and gold ball isn't available. I guess I can try FP seawitch and check it out. Taxi is a fair comparison, but I need to go back and forth a few times to do an accurate review. More to come in the future.

It's to do the things you can't... like having a couple hundred machines in your house or like learning to drive a multi-million dollar aircraft or automobile.

Exactly this. Very eloquently said!

I'll never have the money to fill a room with every arcade game and pinball machine I want, since it's likely I'd need a house the size of a small warehouse.

ViriiGuy:
I have a real Addams Family and have it in both Future Pinball and Visual Pinball on my own cabinet.
While Addams Family is a bad tabel to use as an example, due to the physics not being just right on it, as compared to some of the better VP tables..

I still find the play very similar. Getting the thing shot and the right ramp is a LOT easier on the real table, but most of the other shots i can replicate.
My Contactors do not hit as hard or as loud as the real pinball solenoids, but it is close enough to keep me feeling like I am playing a real table.
