  • AccuRC 2 offers incredibly realistic physics and flight characteristics, making it an excellent training tool for RC helicopter 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 responsive and actively update the simulator, adding new models and fixing bugs, which enhances the overall experience.
  • The game suffers from frequent crashes and performance issues, particularly on Mac systems, leading to frustration among users.
  • Many users report that the user interface is poorly designed and not intuitive, making it difficult to navigate and set up controls.
  • The fixed-wing aircraft models are considered subpar compared to the helicopters, with many users expressing disappointment in their realism and handling.
  • graphics
    84 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the simulator are generally praised for their realism and detail, with many users noting that they provide a lifelike experience of helicopter flight. However, some criticisms include outdated models due to lack of updates, occasional missing textures, and issues with photographic backgrounds affecting depth perception. Overall, while the graphics are considered top-notch for an RC sim, there is room for improvement in certain areas.

    • “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.”
    • “Very realistic graphics, actually the best graphics for any RC sim.”
    • “Unfortunately, it's also abandonware and the latest playable version (3.0 alpha) hasn't been updated for years, so it doesn't have any new models from the last 3+ years and the graphics are pretty outdated.”
    • “Bad graphics, fewer than 10 fixed wing (my fault for buying it really) all IC and none of them exciting.”
    • “The VR graphics quality is so-so, but I haven't played any other games to determine if it is my headset (Samsung Odyssey +) or specific to AccuRC.”
  • gameplay
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized as a highly realistic simulation of RC flight, with mechanics closely mirroring real-world counterparts, but it lacks engaging content, functioning more as a sandbox experience. Users report significant issues with hardware controller compatibility and frequent crashes, detracting from the overall experience. While the flight mechanics are praised, the absence of compelling gameplay elements and poor 3D backdrops leave much to be desired.

    • “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.”
    • “Other than this, it is better than any other 3D helicopter simulator from a flight mechanics perspective.”
  • stability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the sim has been a mixed experience for users, with many reporting frequent glitches that can significantly disrupt gameplay, such as camera issues and buggy behavior during sessions. While some players have encountered serious problems leading to refunds, others have noted improvements in stability after updates. Overall, glitches remain a common concern, particularly with collision detection and various in-game mechanics.

    • “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.”
  • optimization
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the simulator has received mixed reviews, with some users noting that while the Steam version is more optimized than previous iterations, performance issues persist, particularly on lower-end PCs. Many players report fluctuating frame rates and high CPU usage compared to other simulators, indicating that further optimization is needed to enhance overall performance. Despite these concerns, the simulator is praised for its realistic physics and extensive model variety.

    • “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.”
    • “Not very demanding on the system to run smoothly.”
    • “This Steam version is even more optimized than previous versions.”
    • “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 as 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 vs 10-15% for my RealFlight sim.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express frustration with the slow pace of development on AccuRC, describing it as having come to a near standstill. However, some reviewers, particularly those with a background in software development, are more understanding of the challenges involved.

    • “Another thing that may grind some people's gears is that development on AccuRC has slowed to an almost grinding halt.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a built-in MP3 player, allowing players to listen to their favorite music while playing, enhancing the overall gaming experience.

    • “There’s even a built-in MP3 player so you can jam out to your favorite music while you’re playing.”
