Quoted from Kinetik-Systems:which online simulators are the very best. Physics wise, table selection, and history.
I've been using Pinball Arcade on Steam,
Pinball Arcade is great for learning the rules. Some tables have a couple hundred "pages" describing the various features. If your goal is seeing most of the modes in a game without too much effort PA is the way to go.
If you want the most accurate physics I think VP is the closest.
P.S. Don't even respond when some troll complains about you. Everyone was new once and we all make mistakes. When you make one, correct it or apologize and move on. Put trolls on your ignore list. There is too much good information on Pinside to waste time reading Trolly McTrollerson posts.
