    Hi guys


    I had the Venlo to get my hands on the new Accu RC sim at Venlo. Although it was another tx and a model with other adjustements than I normally fly, it felt quite good. So I bought a copy and since Monday I am playing around with it at home.

    I guess that I found a setup which fits the feeling of my Raptor for about 95% and I have to admit that it flies quite good! The physics are way better than in the Phoenix. I cannot compare it to other simulators than the Phoenix because I never had another one.

    Here are some details of my experience:


    - You have plenty of setup possibilities: A virtual TX (Trims, subtrims, Mode, Tail gain, pitch curve, throttle curve etc), a virtual fbl system (gains, deadbands, expo, agility etc) and the heli hardware (change motor, esc, blades, pinion, battery etc) With this you can adjust every model like you want

    - The graphics are good but not overwhelming. I run it on my iMac (mid 2011) with 12GB RAM via bootcamp on Win7 with all the settings in “High”. It runs without problems, crashes, glitches and looks good.

    - The camera works good, I am just missing a mode like in the phoenix “keep ground in sight”. I reported it to AccuRC and they will be implementing it soon

    - The simulation speed can be slowed down, unfortunately the slider has a bug and does not affect the speed :) I reported this bug and they are fixing it right now

    - At the moment you don’t have a lot of models to choose from, but I never try to fly the model I fly in reality. I always choose the model which flies best out of the box and then tune it for my needs. In my case this is the Synergy. The goblin was flying ok, the trex 700 e was flying horrible :/ But the synergy right now feeld wuite good

    - Every heli comes in a beginner setup and reacts very calm. In the virtual fbl you can select between some pre-setups and when you choose “pro” it is quite suitable for soft 3d flyers like me.

    - I am missing the possibility to save my personal tx setup. There are some pre-setups for different brands but I still had to do some work. Everytime I want to let timo fly we have to change tx (he flies mode 1) and then its always a lot of work to find the correct channel adjustements. I also reported this and maybe this will be a future feature

    - The sound is okay, better than in any sims ive seen but still not perfect. I don’t mind because I never fly with sound but with music playing in the background


    After all I have to say that the sim is worth its money! I don’t regret to have bought it. It flies pretty realistic and I discovered myself practicing longer at the sim than I normally do because its really fun.

    The support is awesome. You write a ticket on the website and immediately you are in personal contact with the developers. Great!

      Sometimes I feel that Australia Post delays parcel delivery for the slightest reasons.

      Yeah, Mine was sent on the 14/07/14 and still waiting. Tracking says it has been handed over to Auspost so hopefully arrives in the next day or so.
      I had to send Accurc an email before this as I had not received a
      I am also waiting of mine to arrive. Mine was supposedly posted on the 14/07/14.
      HeLiAdic, I am still to get mine as well. I am getting the exact same tracking info as you. It is starting to get really frustrating.

      Cheers

      Mate I'm also still feeling the same pain and disappointment as you. Went to my local post office this afternoon and they were not a lot of help. As far as they were concerned it must be still be in customs. When I asked how long it would take to clear all they had to say was anywhere between Two days to 3 weeks. This doesn't make a lot of sense considering others here who ordered around the same time as us have already received theirs.
      Got in touch with an old friend who works for auspost this evening. She is going to try and see what is going on.

      Well, got some good news today, arrived home from work to find a not at home card in the letter box.
      Bad news it won't be at my local post office until Monday for me to pick up. Oh well at least it's here.
      HeLiAdIc I hope you get the same good news when you get home this arvo.

      Cheers

      Maybe that's why I have to wait until Monday. The Postie wants to test it out over the weekend.

      @Firstlady1985 I am sorry, I have just realised that I have taken your thread off topic.
      I am very sorry that this has happened . Can the forum Moderators please move the off topic posts to a more suitable thread.
