Default AF5 for MAC

Mike i have a question regarding the edit menu in AF5 using English units. For example i want to edit both the Extra 260 & 330 and one of the mods is for the prop. In the older version you could choose either a 3 blade or a 2 blade if i remember correctly? Also and this really is my question the menu shows the pitch as being 28.699....how is this to be read? For example in the real world i use a 30X12 pitch 2B or a 28.5X12 3B so what am i missing in looking at the data....Thanks.

Hi matus, I don't think there is an exact correlation of the pitch number with a real world pitch. It has to be fine tuned to "feel" right

OK so it's just a reference point? The diameter is correct though? Also any info on 2B vs 3B? Thx

Mike just installed the 5.5 update and now i can run the program in the highest resolution with the "Insane" level and all the previous issues are gone with the exception of the engine popping noise....it's still there but overall this is a 10 out of 10....very easy to modify models and with the graphic display of modifications ...very intuitive....they did a heck of a job on this one!
