Virtual Pinball and Real Life Pinball Side by Side Comparison

<< < (2/5) > >>

smartbomb2084:
That IS the one thing I like about VP...

Getting to see AND HEAR an 'X' amount of tables that I may never see or haven't seen  in a long time...

nickbuol:
Same here.  VP would be the only way for me to play a number of machines that I would love to.  Nothing will replace a real silver ball, but I hope to build a VP some day just because I don't have the funds or space for more than 1 more machine, and I would be able to build a REALLY nice VP for about $4000 or less vs. buying just one mid-90's vintage machine.

MTPPC:
I think people always forget that the purpose of simulation is not to do what you can in real life. 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. Simulation is not the real thing by definition. That's why it's sort of funny to see all these guys bad-mouthing it when the don't have a simulator or haven't played on a good one. Of course we would all like to have a basement full of classic pins in like new condition. That's what I am simulating and the haters will never have that. I really posted this topic hoping that others who have done the side by side could report their results, but perhaps there just aren't more than a couple of us in this elite group.

TopJimmyCooks:
I know in VP you can adjust the rubber bounce as a parameter- No can do in FP?

How about an AB between your VP and a 90's DMD pin?

Do you thing doing a tactile nudging mod would make a big difference v/s the extra buttons?

MTPPC:
I only have the pioneer and I would also be very interested to see a comparison with a 90s Williams. I have a MS Sidewinder on order to try it without the nudge buttons.
