Episode#17 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!

In this episode, I show you how to install a real pinball tilt mechanism into your virtual pinball cabinet! I also show everything you need to get it to properly work in visual pinball X and Future Pinball. Plus I show you how to remove the unwanted tilt ball stutter in vpx when a tilt is registered. What more could you ask for???
