Funny thing is I went back and played Vol 4 the other night after posting that comment and actually enjoyed them. Never played any of those machines in real life and never cared for Farsight's version of White Water, so I wasn't really drawn to them... but they're not bad after all! Going to try to get good at them while waiting for Vol 5.

While we're complaining about things could you fix Pinscape plunger support via 360 controller emulators on a PC? Cabinet owners have been asking for this for well over a year now.

Windows sees them properly. The controller emulator (in most cases x360ce) sees them properly. But in FX3 you apparently apply a deadzone that doesn't allow one for one physical/virtual plunger movement.

It may be easy for me to say this as I already have a code but I'd gladly pay a small fee for a cabinet code if it meant you guys would take cabinet mode more seriously.

@Adm56, you mention that you already have a code for this. Can you please provide more information on your workaround, or provide a link to such a workaround? (I bought the raw parts for a Pinscape plunger (including the KL25Z controller board) awhile back, and will be incorporating it into the cabinet I will be finally building soon. But I was unaware of a deadzone issue with FX3 till I just read your post.)


Thanks.

I meant that I already have a cabinet code.

As far as a work around I don't believe there is one. Ultimately FX3 chews up the input by applying a deadzone to Xbox controller emulation that works perfectly fine outside of the game. Someone even mentioned that they confirmed that an actual Xbox controller works EXACTLY the same way but no one cares because it's not as noticeable on a controller.

So any tweaks done to the axis elsewhere will just result in FX3 cutting the legs out of it again. I supposed you could physically alter your plunger so it's rest position is right at the end of their dead zone but that's ridiculous.

Zen could probably patch this in a day but apparently it's not a priority. As I mentioned I'd gladly pay say a $5-10 fee for a cabinet code if it meant they'd apply developer time to cabinet mode issues. Right now it's 'fine'...it's not difficult to align multiple monitors, I don't mind installing my own backglass art, camera mode 2 while not ideal is good enough for me, and while I'd love to have in game nudge sensitivity controls I've managed to get Pinscape nudge where I want it. But not being able to use my plunger pisses me off every time I attempt what would otherwise be one of their clever and fun skill shots.

I tried creating a new thread in this forum to discuss but almost 24 hours later a mod has not approved it.

Please tell me with this this release, the rewind power for Road Show will be fixed on Nintendo Switch... 5 months and this annoying bug is still present, every time you rewind the camera angle is bugged...

Oh, okay. You were referring to the cabinet unlock code provided to you by Zen Studios. I misunderstood and thought you had some found some outside software coding/program, or perhaps a setting that worked for you in x360ce, to resolve the problem.


P.S. For anyone who hasn't seen it before, I found this active thread in Steam Community where there's discussion about the problem: "Pinscape analogue plunger and FX3" at https://steamcommunity.com/app/44212...6190277232638/ .

Yeah. I'm Yamfinger.

I resurrected that thread from a year ago.

Ah, ok. I will follow that thread, plus the new Steam thread I see you as Yamfinger started today of "Fix virtual plungers Zen!" at https://steamcommunity.com/app/44212...0247633197652/ . Also, eventually the Moderators should be approving your thread here in the Zen forum, which may have been delayed because of your newness. All of that will be useful to me when I finally install/setup my Pinscape plunger and use it with FX3 and run into this

[tinyhorsesinmytea]

Ooo, boy... Yamfinger. I do believe we met in high school.

Once again we are offered a new batch of tables for us to play with while the leaderboards continue to have, within increasing numbers daily new computer users posting bogus scores. I want it fixed. We have been complaining for a VERY LONG time and the boards continue to be flooded with bogus scores. Remove them and ban the suspect IP's. Simple as that. I will not just give up on the game I love and watch it be destroyed by a handful of douche bags.

He is right, this situation cannot last any longer. You programmers have to do something urgently. Or are you telling us that laxism is contaminating the world of e-Pinball too ? Come on, no mercy on that.
