There is actually quite a bit of tweaking and customizing that goes into each individual table and I couldn't count the number of hours it took me to adjust the tables to my setup. It really is kind of a long explanation, but a good start would be to head over to vpforums.com and check out some of the different methods of adjustment....This thread in particular may help answer some of your question- http://www.vpforums.com/forum/showthread.php?s=0622297da045c2db6feb405fcdfc5f93&threadid=36732&perpage=20&highlight=vertical&pagenumber=3

There are two problems with the nudge as I see it.  There is only one strength of nudge - that is not how one nudges.  It is not a digital action.  The other problem is that no one ever nudges purely left, right, or up.  An effective nudge is always some angle relative to where the ball is headed and what it is headed towards.

This is one of the reasons I always say that people need to think of VP as a video game rather than pinball.  You pretty much have to learn to play without nudge, without spin, without any slop in mechanicals, without airballs, and with the knowledge that fairly often the ball is going to go right through your flipper for no damn reason.

This post is in responce to Daz about his needing a new Tv before Feb. of 09, if you have cable, or sat. it will not matter if your TV is still analog you will be fine.  If you are using over the air you can get a convertor box for approx. $40.00

I am aware of the options that are out there for 2009...  I'm just looking for an excuse to have all flat panel displays in the house.  The woman is oblivious to the new technology, so this is my chance to pounce and get all new TV's for the house. ;) 

While I would love to have a dedicated VPM/Future Pinball cabinet; it is not a priority.  I'm perfectly happy with my MAME cabinet setup for pinball and can live with that for a while.  I am finally going to get my 1969 D. Gottlieb & Company Road Race pinball machine that I've had for 30 years restored!  If for some reason I can't restore it, and ONLY if I can't restore it, then I will see about converting it to a VPM table at that time.

Tell me you're just being a troll with that statement.  Unless you pulled the thing out of a lake there would be zero excuse to make an EM pin into a freakin' VP cabinet.
