AccuRC 2 offers the most realistic physics for RC helicopters, making it an excellent training tool for both beginners and experienced pilots.
The simulator allows for extensive customization of helicopter models, enabling users to fine-tune settings to match their real-life counterparts.
The developers are highly responsive and actively update the simulator, adding new models and fixing bugs regularly, which enhances the overall experience.

The setup process for controllers can be complicated and frustrating, with many users reporting difficulties in getting their transmitters to work properly.
The simulator suffers from performance issues, including long loading times and crashes, particularly on older systems or with certain configurations.
While the helicopter physics are praised, the fixed-wing aircraft and drone models are often criticized for lacking realism and quality compared to the helicopters.

The graphics in the simulator receive mixed reviews, with some users praising them as "gorgeous" and "very realistic," particularly in terms of model detail and overall visual quality. However, others criticize certain aspects, such as the use of photographic backgrounds and inconsistent texture quality, which detracts from the experience. Overall, while many find the graphics impressive, there are notable concerns regarding depth perception and the realism of the environments.
- “The graphics are very good and provide, in my opinion, a close to lifelike simulation of heli flight.”
- “They have really hit the nail on the head with this one: the graphics are gorgeous and the flight physics are extremely realistic, at least with the logo helicopters that I've tried out.”
- “Great RC helicopter simulator that feels very realistic with great graphics.”
- “Graphics are awful, sound is laughable, physics are totally unrealistic; the entire thing is just terrible.”
- “Graphics in 3D fields look like an acid trip, while photo fields appear to be made with a potato. The sound is terrible, lacking a Doppler effect, and the crash physics and ground detection have no rhyme or reason. Everything in terms of 'feel' is absolutely awful and does not translate to real flying.”
- “The ground plane is positioned much higher than you would expect, relative to the photographic background.”

The gameplay is noted for its realistic flight mechanics, making it one of the most authentic RC flight simulators available. However, it suffers from significant hardware controller issues and lacks engaging gameplay elements, functioning more as a sandbox experience with minimal compelling content. While the simulation accurately reflects the handling of real-world models, the overall experience is hampered by technical difficulties and a lack of interesting gameplay features.
- “Other than this, it is better than any other 3D helicopter simulator from a flight mechanics perspective.”
- “The mechanics behind each of the models has been built to match their real-world counterparts, not just in looks, but also in the way they handle and control.”
- “In other words, the mechanics have been fine-tuned in an attempt to make taking a real R/C model for a spin, and then controlling the same one inside the simulator feel like an almost identical experience.”
- “There is no gameplay as such - it is a sandbox where the flying of the aircraft is all there is.”
- “I’ll give Trasnatech the benefit of the doubt and assume that due to all the realistic mechanics present in the game, it’s not very easy to emulate that with a standard controller.”
- “Gameplay is okay, but it doesn't offer much beyond the basic flying experience.”

The stability of the sim has received mixed reviews, with users reporting various glitches that can significantly impact gameplay, such as camera issues and unexpected resets of settings. While some players have experienced serious bugs leading to refunds, others have noted improvements in stability over time. Overall, the presence of persistent glitches and buggy behavior, particularly in multiplayer sessions and collision detection, remains a concern for many users.
- “I actually spent my 1 hour because of the glitches, and they affected my camera settings.”
- “Actually, some glitches were serious for playing the sim, so I got a refund one time.”
- “From simply starting the sim to going straight into a multiplayer session, one can usually count about five occurring events which are completely weird/buggy behavior, if the sim doesn't crash at all.”

The optimization of the simulator has received mixed reviews; while some users appreciate its realistic physics and fine-tuning capabilities, others report performance issues, particularly on lower-end PCs, with frame rates fluctuating and high CPU usage compared to other simulators. Despite some improvements in the Steam version, many players feel that further optimization is needed to enhance overall performance.
- “I own three of the helicopters that are used in this simulator (Kraken 700, Omphobby M2 V2, Align T-Rex 500 ESP), and I love the fact that I can fine-tune their flight performance to my own personal preferences.”
- “It is a very good simulator and feels very realistic. I would like to see more optimization, as I can run the simulator but the frames seem to be all over the place at times since my PC is low-end.”
- “This Steam version is even more optimized than previous versions.”
- “It is a very good simulator and feels very realistic, but I would like to see more optimization as I can run the simulator, but the frames seem to be all over the place at times since my PC is low-end.”
- “It started off great, then as more updates came along, I slowly found the performance getting worse and worse.”
- “It is also extremely poorly optimized, using between 50-80% CPU in Task Manager compared to 10-15% for my RealFlight sim.”

- “It's literally hilarious how fake they sound and fly.”
- “The humor in this game is top-notch, with clever jokes and witty dialogue that kept me laughing.”
- “I love the absurdity of the situations; the humor is perfectly timed and adds so much to the experience.”
