Future Pinball has come a long ways. :)

I just started getting back into the emulated/simulated pinball scene (seem to go in 4 year bursts, laugh) and saw that Future Pinball table-making has really progressed since 2009. There are folks doing elaborate 3D modeling now to add the toys to recent games and they have gotten *really* good at ROM simulation (future pinball doesn't support ROMs). At any rate, on modern machines you can now max out the settings w/out too much trouble for 6x anti-aliased, trilinear filtered goodness.

Thankfully all the tables are available for easy download here if you want to catch up: http://www.pinsimdb.org/
The usual suspects have gotten a lot of love, Twilight Zone, Addams Family, Star Trek TNG, T2, Indiana Jones, etc.
Anyhow I was a big proponent when FP hit the scene back in the mid-aughts and a new kid on the block Pinball Arcade piqued my curiosity and re-examination of the scene.
I also initially checked out VP and VPMame which has continued development and supports integration w/ ROM tables of course but I always liked FP's graphics and setup somewhat more. Anyhow, just a heads up for folks that don't frequent that side of things.
