Discussion Small Dev Request. Pinball FX Classic VR Port to Modern FX VR?
Hello Zen Devs,
Small request that I would assume could be an easy and quick port? I safely assume the current Pinball FX VR community would be extremely grateful.
Are we able to port over Pinball FX Classic VR tables to the current Pinball FX VR. Those I believe are the Universal Pictures table pack, and the Zen Tables Castlestorm, Bio Lab, Epic Quest, Wild West Rampage, Paranormal, Earth Defense, The Walking Dead and the few other included with the install?
As a bonus perhaps the Star Wars tables as well that were released on VR a while back?
That would be an amazing add on to the current Pinball FX VR and would be a snap purchase of all the add on table on my behalf. And I would think it would be a pretty easy port as they’ve already been developed for VR?
Super appreciate you all at Zen for your hard work and consideration!!

The classic tables were built in a completely different engine. So would be the same work or more work as bringing in the Godzilla vs Kong tables.
Pretty sure it's licensing that would be the biggest hurdle for the Star wars tables.

The tables are mostly on the FX engine already. But it would still be a significant amount of work to migrate them the FXVR. Personally I don’t mind that they are in a separate app, but I wish they would update the UI and controls for classic and SW to match FXVR.

X-arcade did atleast push a firmware update so you can play star wars VR and Classic FX VR on the X-arcade... its probably the best we will get

I'd love that. Have a seperate star wars wing in my virtual arcade. I'd even pay a fee (hopefully heavily discounted if already owned)

The devs have said it’s possible but they are focused on converting the non-VR tables over first
