I have no idea what controls there are for the game.  Can someone put up a list of what they are.  I.E. enter = fire plunger, Shifts = that side flipper e.t.c.  (Those controls are how I have Pinball Arcade set up.)

When you launch vpinball, select the preferences tab at the top of the editor and select configure keys. You can set them how you want them.

First person from the UK I have seen.  Thanks, rockclimber.

You're welcome. It takes a bit of time to get everything set up and working and to get your head around the terminology. Definately worth the effort though. All the information you need is available in the forums on this site, takes a while to read through it all. Have you managed to get any tables running yet?

I have two at the moment.  Back to the Future and Defender.  There are quite a few I want to download still.

You can also press F2 while game is running and it will bring up Keyboard Settings. Just another way to see what keys do what.

F2 does nothing for me. Accidentally set my nudge left and left flipper on the same button and now I can't clear the input.

Isn't the selection at the top of the drop-down "none" ?

 

I like to also temporarily, connect a mouse and keyboard.

 

In VPX/Prefs/Video temporarily disable "Exclusive Full Screen Mode". Then you can use the mouse, right-click, and stuff like that (for setup phase).
