AccuRC 2 News

AccuRC Fans! Your mega support got us this far. You can now support us further to push development of AccuRC.

Your contributions will go towards creating new models.


Manufacturers like SAB, Synergy RC, MSH and XLPower are very kind to supply us with CAD files of their models. This makes it relatively quick and easy for us to add new models to AccuRC.

However, we’re not as fortunate with all manufacturers. Some models require us to buy a kit and put about 30 hours of Jonas’ and Saje’s manpower into measuring and modeling it up. This makes it prohibitively expensive to add such models at the level of quality you are used to seeing in AccuRC. We will use your contributions to fund buying the model kits.


You can contribute as much or as little as you want, but by contributing more you get more say in the new non CAD and if you are really keen you can get lessons thrown in too!

While development of 2.0.7 is going at full speed, we learned a couple valuable new things that we could take advantage of with older builds of AccuRC as well. We decided to take a step back and fix one of the most important features of 2.0.6: MULTIPLAYER! All changes below are live and AccuRC 2.0.6 will automatically update when you start it again.

Multiplayer in general now works reliably again. You can join host sessions, join sessions and chat with people while flying online. We also greatly improved the way the models’ movements are transmitted to other people, which means way less data consumption, lower CPU workload and generally a better experience when multiple people are flying!

As a little bonus, you’ll also get the tweaked airfoils from 2.0.7 in 2.0.6 release right now. Tweaks have been made to all blades using the NACA0014 airfoil as well as all SAB blades. In summary, the stop wobbles some people experienced are gone for good, you can go faster now and you have more control power in extreme situations.

And finally, we gained some performance as well. This will especially help users with low end setups.
Give it a try!

Hey guys,

AccuRC has a Discord server now! Discord is a free voice-, text- and group message client which is widely popular in the gaming world.

This will have quite a few advantages for everyone involved:
-We (the dev team) can communicate more efficiently with our users
-It's a place to meet up with others and discuss the sim
-You can report and discuss bugs found in alphas and betas there
-It's great to set up multiplayer sessions with people who may currently be online
-The voice chat is a great way to communicate during online sessions
-We'll throw in some exclusive development sneak peeks and previews as well!

Everyone is welcome to join. The AccuRC team is looking forward to seeing you there!

TLDR: if your machine struggled before, it wont now!



Let us start by saying that this update is larger than anything we've ever done before. It is packed to the brim with new content and features, as well as a ton of optimizations. And the best thing is, this update is completely free of charge!

Large parts of the simulator have been rewritten to boost performance through the roof and to reduce input latency to the absolute minimum, so much that AccuRC 2.0.6 will run 60FPS in 1080p on Intel HD4000 graphics with no issues and no noticeable lag whatsoever. We managed to almost double the physics FPS compared to 2.0.5, which means that 2.0.6 will easily run on an dual core 3GHz processor.

AccuRC 2.0.6 was a huge project and redefined the simulator that AccuRC is. With this leaner, meaner and faster platform, we're expecting to be able to do amazing things in the future. As a little preview, 2.0.7 will focus a lot on adding new helicopters, quadcopters, training modes, StickMover integration and much more to look forward to.

Last but not least, we'd like to thank our amazing community for their feedback, testing, contributions, suggestions, and support. We couldn't have done it without you.

Here's what changed since 2.0.5:

Greatly improved overall performance:
-PFPS increased by up to 100%
-Decoupled graphics from physics FPS
-Loading times significantly shortened
-Graphics performance increased
-Framerate smoothed significantly, now runs stutter free without VSync
-Reduced controller latency to absolute minimum (sim viably flyable at 30fps now)

New Models:
-SAB Goblin 700 KSE
-MSH Protos Nitro

VR support:
-AccuRC now supports all popular VR headsets through SteamVR
-Select “Play VR” from the Steam start options when hitting "Play”

Training modes:
-Added hover training for different orientations

Sound:
-New engine sounds for several models, especially Goblin 700 KSE and LOGO 700
-Proper triblade sounds for 3 bladed rotors
-More depth and load dependency to tail rotor sounds
-Better low rpm main rotor sounds
-New crash sound for helicopters, sampled from a real KSE (don’t ask)
-New & Improved Car sounds

Miscellaneous optimizations:
-Added a No Disc Blur Mode which leaves the rotors unblurred
-Added Fly/Workbench buttons to model select menu
-Multiplayer now works better than ever before
-Renamed FBL presets to the flying styles they suit
-Canopy Hue change Feature added
-All default setups reworked and improved (applies to NEW heli from the hangar ONLY)
-Recalculated drag values for all helis (they fly faster now)
-Sharpened control response of all default setups
