I am thinking about building a virtual pinball and have a few questions.
I am watching DIY youtube vids on virtual pins and i notice some people install the playfield tv at an angle, flush with the top of the cabinet frame and others install the tv level in the cabinet to where there is about 3 or 4 inches of gap at the back end area (below the back box), amd so,e install leds and flashers in that spot. What is the proper/preferred installation of the tv? Do i make it flush with cab or level in the cab? Doesnt the pinball graphics already account for the 3” or 4” within the graphics, with whatever lighting goes within the game?? If you put the tv in level and creat the gap, and the game graphics already so this, then you are doubling up on the “gap”, right?
Also, i seen one guy have the kinect in his to make the playfield move as you move to make it more real. Is this a good idea? I only seen one guy do this on youtube and ive watched tons of virtual pin builds. Is this not a popular option to build into the pin?
