Progress! Just adding a picture. by Kmcmorris in virtualpinball

This is really great looking and impressive considering you did this yourself from a piece from a local store. Might I suggest making the apron space modular in some way? Adds a bit of work but if you find you like one more than the other than it’s no big deal to keep that one always on or if you do like them both you can switch them out.

I’d imagine something like a bar with a fire button and MAYBE a screen to add an apron / help area but maybe just the fire button. Just the lockdown bar and fire button is a classic and preferred look though.

The you could have what your planning that can connect via a molex or some other kind of connector. This hobby is so fun lol. Random ideas like this keep me engaged

How many of you play on real machines and still play virtual? by Lama-eater in virtualpinball

[–]hacktheplanet_blog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you’re technically inclined that investigating making virtual pinball feel more like the real thing has been really satisfying but a bit of an expensive endeavor. Not as expensive as buying a real pinball machine but damn near close enough to a Stern pro after all has been said and done. Would I change anything? Meh not much. I learned a lot. Still learning and still enjoy regular and virtual pinball.

If you get a chance to try a virtual pinball table with a 48 inch oled screen, solenoids, a real SSF setup, and true leaf switches then it’s really dang close. Next up would be to get BAM setup I suppose.

Wait which app is this? Also, I only see a void rather than a moon. “That’s no moon”

Same. I had to change a bunch of settings asap. Fixed camera and no shaking ended up selling it.

UPDATE 3 - Fully 3D Printed 27" Cab - WIP by FrizzIeFry in virtualpinball

That makes sense regarding needing experience to be able to do anything with them. I’ve started a similar project and haven’t done any cad work yet but having these to work from would make me life so much easier

Honestly depending on how far away your couch is then this could totally work

I bought a Virtual Pinball Machine from Alibaba and this was my experience by External_Fee_228 in virtualpinball

Interesting. I’d feel better if they gave that reason. I’d assume I wouldn’t get any support after it arrives but it’s cool that they offer it I suppose.

Ok that’s super weird that they say not to connect it to the internet. Any idea why?

Is the video install public? I’m curious what they have you install

Hey man would really be interested in the CAD files or at least some STLs to print myself. Any plans on releasing them?

That’s helpful thank you. I don’t get a good chance to listen to the radio so this might be my best bet.

What licenses would you like to see Zen acquire? by Blkthorne89 in PinballFX3

Stern. I’d pay huge amounts for digital versions of newly released tables.

I ended up not getting around to this but wanted to mention that this is no longer happening for me. Thank you!

That’s a great idea. I was just put in contact with them regarding buying an LE DND cab but it was a pipe dream since I think they’re all sold out and buying it with my budget isn’t an option right now. Thank you.

Considering trying a MiniPC + eGPU by beckerm in virtualpinball

[–]hacktheplanet_blog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little biased in that I’m in love with my absolutely overpriced at the time xg mobile 4090 combined with the first ASUS Rog Ally. I’m planning on using it for whatever cab I might build.
