Hi all,
I am having trouble finding a solution to this problem. After a couple of hours of searching the internet for a solution, I thought I would ask for help from the experts.
I am using PinballX as my front end. When I exit a table that is running on Visual Pinball, it doesn't return me to the PinballX screen but rather it takes me to the VP9 editor. I have to close VP9 in order to get back to my full screen PinballX front end. It has to be a simple setting that I am overlooking. but for the life of me, I can't find it.
I am running a desktop PC running Windows 10. In the future I plan to add a second monitor but for now, just one. I am using NO 3rd party plugins. The issue does not happen when exiting a Future Pinball table, just Visual Pinball. I noticed that the Future Pinball settings within PinballX have default parameters ( /play /exit /arcaderender) that I assume allows the table to exit back to the PBX front end, but I found no such parameters that worked on Visual Pinball.
In case it will help, I am posting my PinballX config file.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Vince
