summary:
The newest emulator for Pinball after Visual Pinball.
You need a powerful graphiccard to enjoy the brillianc of FP.
Physics are as good as VP`s working with OpenGL technics.
More pinsims are made nowadays with FP than VP.
Still VPinMame stands for Pinballmachines with roms.
Scripting knowledge is necessary.
