I used to play future pinball on an old laptop,built a cab some months ago with other emulator on it,decided to install FP and Bam on it after Slams updates,couldnt quite get it setup right but perservered,Now that its setup correct in my cab, Slams tables are impressive. Only have about 15 FP games on it.Installed Gorgar Mega 1.5 Awesome game,Awesome sound. .Oh and i found out today that FP was designed by an aussie,  Myself and wife an kids subscribed.

You might want to try some of the latest tables here:

 

http://www.pinsimdb.org/

 

Look for ones that say they have dynamic flippers.  I posted 4 mods of Slam's tables that are not available anywhere else.  They are posted in a group named "Slamt1lt's Collection".

That's right, I also need to go check in pinsimdb for table upgrades.

 

I wonder if it's time for a little cleanup on pinsimdb.  It's not easy to differentiate tables with the most updated physics and dynamic flipper against the ones that do not.  We may know what to look for, but the newcomer would not.

 

Does someone know if TheNalex or LvR still manage that site?

They are in the middle of possibly redoing the entire site and forums.

 

I early on said then everyone needs to come together to establish a common name for updated Dynamic Flippers so ppl could know what to search for at pinsmdb and also could TAG the table with the name for the new flippers,etc. No one followed up with it.

Hasn't "Dynamic Flippers" become the common name now?

Yes, but there are a lot of new features and Shiva/blue is working on a comprehensive new table generating engine he calls FPX

For anyone who may need help with Future Pinball

 

The Virtual Pinball "Software" Essentials videos for Future Pinball - PART 1, 2 and 3

 

Future Pinball may be 11 years old now...but that hasn't stopped it from getting better and better.... thanks to Ravarcade's BAM (Better Arcade Mode).

Today, Future Pinball looks much better, plays much better and has loads of new features that table authors and players can use. The potential has barely been tapped into.

This topic has A LOT of content, and I can't cover everything in one video (there's more coming)...but I cover the entire spectrum to give you all the basics so you understand what everything is and how it works. You will be up and running with Future Pinball, BAM, tables, and DMDs the right way... the FIRST time!

EarthDate: 19th August 2019.

 

Up to 160 new YouTube subscribers in a month which is awesome.  I would still like to hit that 200 from the original start of 943, so how's about this for an incentive.....as soon as I reach 1143 subscribers I will release Jurassic Park ULTIMATE Pro  - THAT SAME DAY.  It could be tomorrow, next week, next month....hopefully not next year.  I'll check my YouTube account daily (apart from this weekend - I'll be away for a few days), and as soon as I hit 1143, Jurassic Park ULTIMATE Pro is yours.   

 

So only 40 new subs to go.

Star Trek ULTIMATE Pro 1.04 will definitely be uploaded sometime today....I've been a little distracted running from dinosaurs!

 

I also have 3 new releases stacked and ready to go....after testing.

And as soon as we slip into October (my favourite month of the year), that's when the horror games will start to appear.

These table are in Final Testing/Uploading

 

1. Robocop ULTIMATE Pro 1.01

2. Star Wars ULTIMATE Pro 1.01

3. F-14 Tomcat ULTIMATE Pro 1.01

4. Star Trek (Stern) ULTIMATE Pro 1.04

Terry, btw I really don't know anything about PuPs and will need to watch your latest videos.  I think I missed all that movement since I was last working on my cab with your DOF editions.

 

Is your Tron table from VPX?  PuP only for VPX to add clips like FP?  Sorry, it seems I'm out of touch.

Impressive, so if you would create a new pinball table, would you add music and movies in FP like Slam or add them through PuP packs?

I would do everything in FP...but if I wanted to still add videos.... I would probably do both...because PuP looks better and can do much more...but FP videos are part of the game and work in VR as well.
