I had to pass this screenshot along b/c to me it represents a new level of realism within the virtual pinball world. I don't want to get into the physics and how it's not the "real" thing. I just wanted to alert others of the technical achievements being made in the virtual space.

Addams Family - Soon to be released on VPX. This was taken from monsterbashpincab.com

Truly amazing! Zoom in and around - I still can't believe it's not real.

yeah - as I expected some pinsiders didn't read my full message as I clearly mention this is not a judgment on pinball vs virtual - this is simply to appreciate what they are achieving in the virtual space b/c to me, this literally looks real. I just hope it's not like the madden xbox 360 hype video that doesn't deliver!

I recently bought a virtual pin. I rebuilt the computer inside and replaced the tv with a 4k. With the latest software and
the absolute raw power of this computer (GPU really matters), visual pinball has never looked or played this well.

No real flipper lag that I can detect (monitor/tv is very important so find the one with the lowest input lag). It's incredibly smooth (like pinball arcade 60fps) yet plays like/not exact but very close to a real machine as the physics engine is really good. These
new tables that are coming out are absolutely gorgeous and as someone mentioned early, it really helps scratch the itch
of tables you don't want to buy but get that taste and move on. I'm putting in a pin2dmd soon - currently have pindmd2 (I know
super confusing) but I want color. My previous virtual (vpcabs) had a monitor for the DMD and now owning real, it's the way
to go as the DMD is so much vibrant - well it's like using a realy dmd b/c it is!

I'm really happy with the cab I have. Word to the wise - force feedback is IMPERATIVE. You will see people say it's not needed
there is even something called Poor Mans Feedback now called Surround Sound feedback. It's better than nothing but it's not
a replacement (hence the name). If you're going to jump into VP, go all in and get that feedback b/c it really does help
further trick the brain. The full size cab also blends right in to my current setup. Very happy with it!

Btw 4k is another huge difference compared to what I had before. I'm not a believer in 4k in general as I never really saw a big difference...with VP there's different and I think it's bc I'm so close to the tv playing it. Things are so crisp and clear I can even read the text on the virtual apron cards!

Bought used professional build. I ended up upgrading it with 4K tv better got etc. it’s working super well

Yep! It's what I currently play now and blows the roof off of 2d. Performance and physics continues to be a challenge but that's not new. A great alternative never a replacement but great to have
