Hi, first off great job on all you have done for the VR pinball world. I watch your all your videos and can't get vpx tables to run at all. All vpt tables work great. VPx can find rom paths for some reason and also getting a error message ( this table was saved with version 10.60 and is newer than the supported version 10.40! you might get problems loading/playing it! I'm running w10-pro/ i7 max out over kill system
Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong.
I have the latest vpx reloaded. Don't have any other programs loaded, Just concentrating on VP. I have a 3 monitor basic  table set up. Any will be appreciated.
Thanks, Mongi

I replied to you on the YouTube channel, but I will also reply here for others to see.

1st thing I would try is to disable the force exclusive full screen mode ox in the VPX video settings.

2nd is to install the Beta Vpinmame 3.2

Hopefully somebody out there can help me.

I followed Major Frenchy's video guide to set up a new virtual pinball system.

I'm all the way through configuring Visual Pinball 9. 

I have my buttons configured (flippers work, nudge, insert coin, etc.) and everything seems to work except for the plunger button.

When I hold the button for the plunger, the plunger barely moves. It kind of stutters and doesn't draw back far enough to move the ball up the lane.

I've also used the ENTER key to try and launch the ball and the same thing happens, so I don't believe it's an issue with my controller.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

If you do not have an analog plunger installed, be sure that the analog plunger is disabled.  Check in the Preferences->Keys under "Axis Assignments -> Plunger" make sure that the dropdown selection cleared.  Do not select any joystick axis. If an axis is selected, and you do not have an analog plunger connected, you will get unreliable results as the controller tries to get input from a nonexistent source.

Glad I could help. I've been mostly soliciting help as I continue to remodel my cabinet.

I just started with virtual pinball. New to the hobby. Spent hours googling and trying to figure out stuff. Wish I had found this post sooner.
Great job and thanks for doing this.
