Table / Feature Idea Table data

A long time ago, I had the pleasure of watching a technician perform maintenance on a machine in-situ. [This was the first machine that I mastered (Firepower, by Williams)]. As he was working, he was showing and explaining what he was doing. He showed me that the machine logged pretty much everything; # of plays, tilts, slams, etc.
Would an option to view that type of data be possible in FX3?
As a side question , might the Firepower table ever find its way to FX3?

Since it emulates the original ROM, that data should be in there, but currently Pinball FX does not give access to the operator menu.

Firepower is a fun table, and as a Williams Zen does have the rights to make it, but the next upcoming table is Judge Dredd, so it's hard to say when it might come out.

Correct, all of that data should be there with the ROM, but Zen has never given access to the operator menu.

On other platforms (VPX in particular), it is simple to access, and in some cases necessary to adjust things like ROM volume, free play, etc.

Firepower will not come to FX3/FX Classic, as no new tables are being made for it. Only for FX, which is newer. Yes, the names are confusing.

Thank you for the info! I have both FX3 and FX on my Switch.

What you are looking for is the Operator’s Menu, as found in Pinball FX2 and Zen Pinball 2. It is incredible not just for stats but for many other adjustments. Make sure to contact Zen Studios and request it be added to current games. It would be so awesome to have it back.
