Hi, I just want to post a possible solution/cause of input problems with some keys in PinballX. I was encountering the problem that the shift keys were not working within PinballX. I changed the assigned keys for menu navigation but nothing worked. After starting a table (Enter did still work), the shift keys worked as intended in Visual Pinball. Finally the Esc key also did not open the exit dialogue when back in PinballX again. After checking the ini file and finding all in order, I discovered the solution. One of the function shift sliders on my Flightstick X45 (throttle module) was moved to a different position. After changing the switch position there, PinballX worked as intended again. Regards Michael

Hi Lizard, the problem is known for quite a while but it is Tom's explicit wish to raise the error like described. The only solution so far for us is to disconnect our cabs from the internet, as the version check is not performed while the PC is offline. Regards Michael

Hi Tom, thank You for developing and improving this great piece of software. I love it. Although it would be great to add a startup parameter to avoid the "Your version has expired" announcement as it is closing the program down at the moment. Even if the machine is online, it sometimes is quite a hassle to download and install a new version on a cab - especially if You just want to play a game of pinball or show Your magnificent cab to some friends. Regards Michael
