I got to review a competitor RC Flight Simulator to Real Flight. AccRC 2 is an RC simulator available on Steam. This is an uncut and honest review and I will do my best to cover all aspects of the product so this review may be a bit long.

Cool, I fly real flight 9.5 and accurc. Real flight is best all around. Accurc is a bit wonky but you really have to tweak the settings for it to be good.

[@Rob-un6pj]

I was thinking of getting this sim. But did you say you can't use a Spektrum NX8.? How come it doesn't work with the WS2000 Dongle?

[@davidjacobs8558]

7:55 I recently bought AccuRC, but I only see 10 or so airplane models. how do you get all those airplane models shown on the screen?

[@pagodadr]

What dongle is needed? Have Futaba T16IZ thanks for the vid

[@ShahriarFarkhan]

Thanks! Looking for a sim to buy and train on and this is a huge pass. I was hoping to find a sim that's a better value than Real Flight but why pay $50 vs a few bucks more for one that works easily.

[@JonsRC]

RealFlight is the best simulator for the money!

[@jgrc73]

Real flight is not worth the money, just almost all spectrum / hh products. you can buy this Sim and S1 and a radio master boxer and still be under $400 for everything or you can just buy a spectrum radio and another $400 plus to spend it just doesn't make any sense two years ago and today.

[@jeremylorenzo6944]

Hey how did you get the 3.0 version I only have the 2.0

[@Twx97]

Alpha version

[@jeremylorenzo6944]

@@Twx97 but is there a way to download the alpha version

[@BillKisel]

Thanks for the review. Definitely not interested based on what you've shown. I'll put the $50.00 in my gas tank. 😊

[@JonsRC]

For RC planes, definitely not worth it. But, for RC helicopters, the flight physic are actually very close to real life!

[@darrylcarpenter903]

Hi I installed the demo and went thru all the calibrations but my Tx didn't do anything to the model, the heli just sat and revved. Tried 3 different Txs ( JR 9503, JR 9303 and Spektrum Dx6i) with the Realflight USB interface. Would like to try it but got no where. Any advice? Thanks

[@davidjacobs8558]

I have Radiomaster RX16s with external ExpressLRS module. ExpressLRS has blutooth, so it can be connected with Windows 11 wirelessly. and AccuRC works with that. Also, USB C connection to Windows 11 works too. no dongle or software driver needed. Windows 11 seems to recognize it as a game controller. either wired or wireless.

[@jgrc73]

it's abandoned. Still for $50 it's a lot better than real flight for heli. Like so much of spectrum real flight is a grab and I'm just not down with that. I wanna get good at flying heli accurc fits the bill No stupid dongle I just plugged my radio master in and then go That said there are literally no features in the simulator it's just about learning how to fly heli. that is all.
