Select by letter to go to the collection.  I would recommend that you select what you need first, as you can download just few tables a day (unless you change your ip and go back there for more, but I didn't tell you that :o).

....or you can just make a donation to help his hosting fees and have unlimited dl's.  :-[

Not in an engineering environment.  When building something/designing something, proper etiquette is to read the documentation first, ask people to spend their time helping you second.  In this case, something as simple as "what are the keystroke mappings", that is laid out clearly in the documentation.  Expected questions would be things like "I have a conflict on the / key between Visual Pinball and MAME, what's the best way to solve that".  Expecting people to donate their time to answer questions that are already answered in the place where the answers belong is presumptuous and getting pissy when they mention that fact is even worse.

BTW, donating a quick $5-10 is the best way to get your tables.  It is easily worth it and again is showing gratuity for the hard work of others that you are using.

Also try the pin table "Cyclone" any chance you get...whether it is Future Pinball, VisualPinball or the actual table. Ride the cyclone 3 times for the jackpot for up to 4 million, or the comet 5 times for 1,000,000! Hit the ferris wheel for BIG bonuses and try the spook house dead center to spin the mystery wheel "Round and Round she goes" "WINNER!!"

Personal best is 7+ Mil on VP, and 4+ mil on the actual when I was 14 years old. This pinball is awesome!

PS: When playing this or any other table in 'future pinball' hit f11 for manual camera view. Zoom in and out with arrow keys and mouse, then inspect every single square milimeter of the designers artwork...AMAZING! Better than the actual table, you can't get this close even in person...TRY IT!

Yes, I forgot about this option, as I don't frequent that forum much anymore like I used to.  Donation is preferred, as changing an ip or similar is just checking out some tables that you want to play asap.  Never got into mass download from a website thing, as I get most of my stuff from newsgroups.  These websites are great to see what's new and what other people think about particular table recreation (http://www.vpforums.com/).

Thanks guys... Lots of great information and sources to look at there.... You guys have been able to point me at some very interesting material that I simply hadn't found before. Thanks for the URL's

I think I've got it all sorted out now as far as the best button asignments. It's a tricky one because of there being more than one possible solution. Very much dependant on which particular pinball software is being run. 

Some great ideas on fitting sprung pullback plungers! Love it!! I'll try a few of these ideas out to see which I like in the real world.

Thanks for all your help, and again, let me say that it's very much appreciated.

Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)
