I do think AA is much easier to use and setup but I don't think one is necessarily better than the other. I have both and, when set up correctly, they both give me the same result.

TRY IT and see if the spine selection changes for you.

Speed has NOTHING to do with how spine is selected on the program.It is cam style only.Unless they have changed the program recently.I talked to them extensively in the past about this being a problem.

LOL You had me doubting myself but I just did it and the optimal spine went from (slider is at -67) .3315 to (slider is at 0).3086. The staic spine doesn't change but, it shouldn't.

edit: The calculated speed went from 250.86 to 262.92.

Maybe they fixed this issue. Before it would not change your arrow selections. I told them a few years ago that speed should play a role in spine selection and was told they only use cam style. They added new cam selections later but apparently they addressed this issue as well.


I might try to reload the program to see if it is better than before.

I had lost my original version due to a computer crash. And I was not happy with it so I never reloaded it after the computer was fixed.

I did just reload the trial version and yes,bruce is correct,the performance slider does adjust for spine selection.Glad to see this issue has been addressed.

You may want to give yourself credit for getting them to change .

I have also noticed some other changes a person wouldn't notice unless they had saved setups with the performance slider adjusted. The saved setups show an incorrect speed now, at the saved slider setting. When the performance slider is moved closer to or at zero the speed is closer or it is correct to the actual measured speed.

Anyway, Todd, I give you credit for them making it a better program.

Maybe and maybe not. I was trying to figure the program out back then and I couldn't figure it out. Maybe they couldn't explain to me how it worked we'll enough. Maybe because the speed was on a different page than the slider I just had trouble figuring it out but it seems I tried it back then and it just didn't work.
