I've wondered why there's no option to add a "virtual pin" to your pinside collection profile
We really are the red headed step children of Pinside 
Sorry to anyone with red hair

Quoted from 85vett:I asked Robin about this a year ago. he said no as they aren't real machines.
Neither are a half dozen preorders that haven't been made lol

I'm putting this into an old Time Fantasy cabinet
Might buy the monitor tomorrow
Just gonna install PinballFX2 as I agree with Markmon... On everything but the Metallica Newton ball
I had a lot of fun in the 90's so I'm not likely to notice a televisions input lag that exceeds my brain lag
Is lag really a problem these days? For some reason I thought that was behind us like rainbow DLP's or misaligned CRT images.
Quoted from markmon:I don't agree. I think you'll notice. Pinball is an instant reaction game so if you go flip and find your shots late, that's lag. And a really powerful PC with nice video card can have great frame rates but still show input lag.
Well shit
How do I discover a TV's input lag? It that like the response time?
Quoted from markmon:Unfortunately, it's not the same. Can you take the monitor you bought, install pinball fx2, set the max prerendered frames to 1, and test. If it plays well and lag seems ok, build your cabinet around it. If not, return it and get another and repeat. Don't forget to set game mode on the monitor.
My office PC isn't suited for gaming
The PC for this project is but I can't find my MB driver disc & still need to load the OS 
Looks like I need to get the PC loaded up instead of drinking rum & smoking cigars on my ipad lol.
So put the TV on game mode & set PinballFX to Frame1. Anything else for this initial test besides sobriety?
Quoted from nicoga3000:This is one of my favorite tables as well. There are only a few I just can't stand (some of the Star Wars tables are terrible). Still trying to convince myself to just buy them all right now at 50% off, but I'm hoping they go on flash sale and hit 75% at some point...
I like the newest batch of SW tables like droids & etc but gotta agree half of the total SW collection = turds.
Man I enjoyed the shit out of the Rome table. LOVE it! Maybe that's just because I watch a lot of documentaries
I'm just gonna buy all the tables while they're 50% off. Prolly today. I'm sure my daughter & nieces/nephews will enjoy the ones I don't. So buy the tables nicoga, make it rain
Quoted from Luckydogg420:I really enjoy the pinball fx table Epic Quest, give it a try, it's worth playing for a bit
Will do mang
------
Edit: bought em all. Only picked one of the soccer tables tho as they're all the same but with a different color scheme. I went with the black/white accented one that starts with a "J" or something because it matched the black/white of the soccer ball in play. I'm not into sports so I don't know who the F those teams are.
I played some VP last night & the physics cannot compare to PinballFX. However I still have a soft spot for VP & love what people have created so I will prolly load both when I get around to it. Problem is it's just such a long drawn out PITA to get VP going so I'm in no rush for that endless shit... First world problems
