SOLENOIDS IN VIRTUAL PINBALL MACHINES – FINALLY EXPLAINED

If you are a fan of pinball, you probably know that there are two types of pinball machines: real and virtual. Real pinball machines use physical components, such as flippers, bumpers, and balls, to create a realistic and immersive gameplay experience. Virtual pinball machines use digital screens, software, and speakers to simulate the look and sound of real pinball machines.

But what about the feel? How can virtual pinball machines recreate the tactile feedback and vibration that real pinball machines provide? The answer is solenoids.

Solenoids are electromechanical devices that convert electrical energy into linear motion. They consist of a coil of wire wrapped around a metal core, which acts as a magnet when an electric current passes through it. Solenoids can be used to create various effects, such as pushing, pulling, or shaking.

Solenoids are widely used in virtual pinball machines to mimic the physical sensations of real pinball machines. For example, solenoids can be attached to the cabinet or the playfield of the virtual pinball machine to produce thumps, bumps, or shakes when the ball hits certain targets or triggers. Solenoids can also be connected to the buttons or levers that control the flippers or plungers of the virtual pinball machine to create a realistic resistance and feedback when pressed or pulled.

Solenoids can greatly enhance the gameplay experience of virtual pinball machines by adding a layer of realism and immersion that digital screens and speakers alone cannot provide. Solenoids can also be customized and configured to suit different preferences and needs. For example, solenoids can be adjusted to vary the intensity, duration, or frequency of their effects. Solenoids can also be programmed to respond to different events or scenarios in the game.

If you are interested in buying or building your own virtual pinball machine, you should definitely consider adding solenoids to your setup. Solenoids are not expensive or difficult to install, and they can make a huge difference in your enjoyment and satisfaction of playing virtual pinball.

To learn more about solenoids and how they work in virtual pinball machines, check out our website. We have a wide range of solenoids and other accessories for your virtual pinball needs. We also have tutorials and guides on how to install and configure solenoids for your virtual pinball machine.

Don’t settle for a bland and boring virtual pinball experience. Add some solenoids to your virtual pinball machine and feel the difference!

Very professional interaction, I ordered a bar-top machine and it arrived with no issues. Very high quality product, which will cut into my reading and TV time :) but my sons will love it and I can show them games I grew up with!!

Purchased a mini claw machine. Excellent product and service. Had to wait a while for delivery, but that is to be expected with these types of products. Great communication aswell together with a translated manual by mail. Recommended for sure!
