VP 9.x often feels a bit too fast, on early VP10 this seems a problem on most tables at least with my hardware. With actual low budget cards there should be few problems.Īfter playing over 1.100 FP pinsims (2019) I think FP has catched up on physics to VP. Well, videooptions to minimum and there was quite proper performance and ballspeed combined with absolutely brilliant graphics. Well another graphiccard (a Geforce 6200 - I know it´s not one of the latest models, but who wants to invest in one of the latest and still expensive card just for one game that needs some more videopower?) at hand that was installed instantly. Unchecking every vidoe option to minimum/off still didn`t lead to a proper ballspeed. My first encounter with FP was a bit disappointing because of a Geforce MX 440.

But no time and few abilities with the necessary skills. Altogether I just did some scripting for one VP table a long time ago. Scripting is necessary for determining the tablerules etc. The brilliance of the graphics is astonishing but to enjoy this you need a highly efficient graphic-card. FP gives you (more) prefabricated tableparts for modelling at hand. Next paragraph tells about my impressions with FP.įP as well as VP allows you to create pinball tables with your own layout and rules just as you like or to rebuild real machines. What are the ressources needed to play FP. What seems to be the difference or the benefit to the 'old' Visual Pinball/VPM? Is FP really the better pinball emulation? If your looking for news, a forum or new tables there is one way: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000 are not supported! FP is running on my systems since Win7 to 10 without problems.

You need at least Microsoft Windows XP - win10 running open GL >=1.4 and >=DirectX8. The new pinball emulation (developed by Christopher Leathley in 2004!) Future Pinball is found at
