AccuRC Home Practice: Lines

For the 6th episode of AccuRC Home Practice, we're talking about the concept of lines, and how keeping clean lines can improve your flying.
Video mentioned: • Mikado Logo 700 XXtrem...

This is a great inspiration! Of course I have to learn to fly much, much better to be able to come close to such precision - even in normal sports flying. But I will start to build this concept into my flying and to come closer and closer to it with time!

[@NiCadHeliPilot]

This is something that I have been doing for the entire time that I have been performing aerobatics, & I have not been consciously aware of it up until now. I normally base my manuevers on a particular circuit (usually figure-of-eight) where the middle point is directly in front of me. It just so happens that the same circuit (that I have been flying for 15+ years) is the same pattern that you have shown here, & I never knew what it was actually called. Occasionally, I'd hear a few other pilots comment on how crisp my flight lines are, & I'd be like "Huh? What the fuck are you talking about?" Well, now I know. =^/,..,^=

[@MFizzle777]

Hallelujah I've now finally hear of this. These are things not thought and I'll be sharing it. Thanking you!

[@chrisvanrooyen8982]

Never heard of this, thank you for making the video, will definitely add it to my flying

[@MrMHelis]

Simple rules but very important for a nice and symetric flight. Thx!

[@thebrorc821]

1st time hearing about this, thanks man!! Definitely will make use of your great tips in my practice 👍👍

[@GrimesRic]

hey johnny, would be nice to implement adjustable virtual flightlines (adj. colour, thickness, angles?) on the floor in Ver.3 !

[@delorean5200]

Why don't implement these lines into the sim as a training aid

[@jonasrc5517]

great video man! you are very good

[@zanedesir7583]

Great!

I am a 55 year old returning to RC after many years. What the F is "Steam" can i not just buy the sim and use with my own TX? Dont want to use while on line.

[@Eyecandylvr]

Awesome simulator!! But I cannot find that Goblin Raw in my models?? 😂 I did notice the 3 in your version though??!

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

You need to be on alpha, check out the faq on the website on how to do this, just select Alpha from the drop-down

i've bought an omp M2 as my first heli and would like to practice in accurc using the M2. I know that you can zoom in to make the model bigger but you get a cropped view of the flying field. Is it possible to increase the model size, as you can in Phoenix flight sim. I find the M2 in accurc very difficult to see and am not keen on the cropped view, when zoomed in.

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

No its not, one of the skills with micros is keeping them close enough that you can see them.

[@51im]

@@DorsetSaferRoads I'll stick with Phoenix flight sim for now then. I was hoping accurc would have all of the features and more. There's no point in buying it for the one Heli that I own. Then not being able to use it. My friend has bought it and on a 19" screen the omp is the size of a pea. In real life it's the size of a large orange. He regrets buying it. As he can't use the M2 in the SIM due to its tiny size. We are both in our 50s and both have restrictions on the screen size that we can use.

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

@@51im it does, but making a simulator less realistic isn't one of them

[@51im]

@@DorsetSaferRoads Accurc is worthless to me then. Unrealistic or not it would be good to have the choice. Being able to increase a models scale would be a good feature for beginners. But it seems only caters for the seasoned pilot

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

@@51im simulation speed is a fast better tool, slows time down gives you time to think, you can then slowly ramp it up as you gain confidence. Changing the models scale gives a very unrealistic response to the way the model flies.

[@drakkorvladimir4012]

I am new to this sim (Use RF mostly) and I was wondering why there looks like 2 sets of sticks on the screen? In Rf, it just looks like a radio. Sorry if it's a dumb question : )

[@coldfirebeat4903]

Do you have a video how to connect omp t6 into accuRC?

[@DorsetSaferRoads]

Currently not specifically for the T6 but the generic dongle video should get you going.

[@coldfirebeat4903]

@@DorsetSaferRoads thank you sir

[@StevieZeee]

Hi. I got the "launch edition". Can it be updated to v2.0 ?

[@AccuRCFlightSimulator]

Yes it can, you can still use the old dongle, however you missed the window for the free upgrade by a few years (2017) you just need to head over to the website and buy v2, its on sale right now too. www.accurc.com

[@StevieZeee]

@@AccuRCFlightSimulator Thanks for reply. I fell for an offer here: www.modellbau-berlinski.de/rc-elektronik-und-akkus/simulatoren/accurc-flugsimulator-modellflugsimulator Bought it yesterday, so think that's why I missed the Update Window.. Beacuse it never comes Back... Omg i am so stupid to buy an old version -.-

[@AccuRCFlightSimulator]

@@StevieZeee unfortunately there is nothing we can do about old stock :-(

[@StevieZeee]

Hmm I cant find out which version before I buy, aww think thats cheating! I will contact the dealer......

[@StevieZeee]

@@AccuRCFlightSimulator No Problem. Thanks for communicate. That is in my opinion the important thing what makes a good developer. think the problem: I can rollback my order and geht the money back - but then i have no more usb-dongle so I had to buy both versions. Dammit - Afterwards you are always smarter xD
