Thankyou for the review. As the lead developer for AccuRC there are a couple of things I can respond to that are mentioned here. Regarding ambience lighting, because the sceneries available in AccuRC are currently only panoramic photos there is actually nothing for the ambient light to illuminate as it is just a photograph made to look like a 3D field. If the field was actually full 3D geometry based the ambient light would illuminate other objects, grass, trees etc. It's not a missing feature or omission but a limitation of using a panoramic scenery. Also the ambient lighting is unique, other sims don't do it at all, so I do feel it has been a little under-rated considering you won't see it anywhere else - just my opinion of course,
Thankyou Ashley, support on our forum has been good regarding this simulator. I understand the programing challenges regarding the use of panoramic photos in simulators - the light cant reflect of photos as if they were objects. One thing that would be very nice would be grass objects rather than photos. The ability of the rotor wash to affect the surrounding grass - and even grass cutting! I know many of the hard core 3d guys would love this expecially considering the flight dynamics as well. But at any rate I congratulate you on this simulator. We were critical in comparing your Accurc to an Ideal, rather than comparing to the current bench mark of available simulators. Your simulator does feel very real once you play with the settings. I own about 5 different sims and yours is the favorite for feel....
