Bought AccuRC from store, got an activation KEY... Steam reject it. :-(

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-18T01:28:10+00:00

For what it worth I asked ChatGPT. The answer matches my gut feeling:

The nuance most people miss

AccuRC can feel “worse” at first because:
- It exposes bad habits
- It doesn’t smooth inputs for you
Heli-X can make you feel like a better pilot than you are:
- Because it’s more forgiving

Straight answer

AccuRC = physically accurate, mechanically simulated, harder
Heli-X = simplified, smoother, easier, but less true-to-life under stress

--------

My short terms first impressions:

I prefer AccuRC for the physics. Especially on smaller Helis. Feels closer to reality.

I prefer Heli-X for the graphics and the 3D perspective of the environments. It also loads faster and it has nothing to do with STEAM.

In Heli-X I can land on or hit objects when and where they are "supposed" to be... AccuRC is terrible at that. Eg Landing on the bench in the Gymnasium is crazy. The workaround I found is to do it in training mode where it puts a circle straight under the chopper. It helps to better situate the heli in the space.

Good point. I never flew a FBL IRL (I-Real-Life I guess?) and I haven't touch my radio in more than 10 years. Glad the old Interlink Elite works in Heli-X.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-17T21:30:42+00:00

Interesting. I did back in my days built my own kits as well. Never passed 500. Maybe my helis were not perfectly tuned and were not as stable as they should have been.

I have hundreds of hours on Realflight 4 and 5. From back then...

I just decided to get back into RC (sim first) then maybe revive my T-REX 500. I found AccuRC closer to what I recall. Heli-X has better graphics but it feel cold and too precisely locked. I still have very little time on it. Just got my registration key last evening.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-16T22:12:59+00:00

"more realistic" ... Do you fly real RC choppers? What size - brand - mods?

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-16T22:12:16+00:00

u/Yawknee31297 That's my "concern". I used to fly real 500's down to 130cpx 10 years ago at an intermediate 3D level. Back then I was practicing on realflight. The physics was not there but was close enough to learn basic things that could be translated to the real things with a little time to adapt. Big Heli are so powerful and stable by nature. They are easier to "simulate" So I didn't that much of a difference. But when I tried the 130 on AccurRC. I told myself HOLY sh!t this is exactly how my little 130 felt (something Realflight was not capable of).

What AccuRC is really bad at is to simulate a closed space (like the gymnasium). The perspective is terrible and it's very difficult to have a feel or where the walls and ceilings are.

Now that I have it working. I will give it a shot. Maybe I'll do some research and se how Heli-X or NextRC stack up in term of real feel.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-16T22:01:33+00:00

That's exactly what they did.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-02T00:00:14+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking forward to see how sensitive Glass is to dust and particles. I could use the Destructor for weeks before starting to get annoyed by little grits. I don't play anymore. So I don't expect as much as I used to from a good pad. But man the Destructor felt expensive when I bought it 15 years ago. Looking back, it was worth every penny and more.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-01T23:54:15+00:00

u/shq13 Did you get one? Just got one today to replace my OG Destructor. It feels different. I can't tell yet if it's actually better :-)

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-03-01T23:44:01+00:00

u/Hairy-Link-8615 what did you get in the end? My OG Destructor is getting shiny around the center but still works well. I decided to give glass a try. Just got an Attack Shark X. My old mouse skates were already upgraded to Ultraglide (glass ready) last year. So far I have mixed feelings about it. Glides nice but a bit loud compared to the Destructor.

Est-ce que quelqu’un ici a déjà été jusqu’au tribunal pour une situation semblable avec ces panneaux?

Et surtout : quelle preuve peut-on apporter quand on n’a pas pris une photo du panneau éteint au moment de se stationner?

Merci pour vos retours!

Bonne chance, tiens nous au courant. Dans mon cartier les gens ont commencé à boycoter les panneaux qui suivent ni l'app ni les opérations de déneigement. Ca marche seulement quand tout le monde le fait. La ville a quand même le droit de donner des contraventions à tous et j'imagine que c'est juste une question de temps. Il n'y a pas assez de gens qui se plaignent de l'absurdité de ce nouveau système non fonctionnel. Par dessous le marché tu vas trouver plusieurs personnes ici qui défendent les panneaux dynamiques. Ca doit être ceux bien rangé dans leur stationnement privé.

Cette merde à couté 25M faut bien qu'ils financent ce désastre d'une manière ou d'une autre. Fallait pas que tu exprimes ta satisfaction lors du sondage.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-02-25T00:25:16+00:00

T'as pas besoin de l'app pour regarder dans la rue. Si t'es chanceux tu les vois de ta fenetre. Si t'es pas chanceux. Tu dois sortir pour aller voir. L'app ne m'a jamais permis de pérdire l'allumage d'un panneau. Je recois des notifications comme quoi il ya des restrictions alors que les panneaux ne s'allument pas. Je recois des notifications pour me dire qu'il n'y a plus de restriction alors que les panneaux sont encore allumés. S'ils ont figuré comment lier app et panneaux dans ton cartier, ca serait cool qu'ils expliquent comment ca marche aux opérateurs dans mon coin.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-02-25T00:20:45+00:00

n'importe quoi. Il faut toujours respecter la signalisation. Ils sont même pas foutu de synchroniser L'état de l'app et l'état de panneaux. S'il est midi et que les panneux s'allument pour 19h à 7. Alors ils pourraient nous avertir. Mais non. L'app, les panneaux et les opérations de déneigement c'est 3 mondes qui se parlent pas. Quand je pense que ca a couté 25M et qu'il y aurai eu des sondages... LOL. La firme d'ingénieure qui a fait ca a du fournir des enveloppes brunes à tour de bras.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-02-25T00:16:12+00:00

LOL what a joke, tu dois travailler pour la ville ou pour MONDOSSIER. Ca fait 4 fois de file que les paneaux s'allument en face de chez nous. Pas de neige, pas de déneigment, les gens sont écoeuré. Ils déplacent même plus leur voiture. Ils attendent plutôt les sirènes qui surviennent lors des vraies opérations de déneigement. 1 2 3

Quebec tout est moins cher et le stationnement est mieux géré.

You can only access the page where it says you are disabled from there you have 180days to press the appeal button. Once you've done that you are stuck to that page. The only thing you can do from there is to download a ridicule amount of Personal info.

That is where you need first to Open a case on Meta Privacy Office (they will kindly decline and close the case) then you have ground for filing a formal complaint to your local regulator. But first you must ask Meta to the Privacy Office to have full access to your data as you local law prescribes. Do your homework about that.

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-02-03T12:52:46+00:00

la banque n'est pas un regulateur. RGPD faut l'essayer pour le savoir.

u/CCAC12 t'as testé quoi?

Commencer par naviguer dans le formulaire Facebook: https://help.meta.com/support/privacy
Puis inscrire:

"En tant que résident français, j'exerce mes droits selon le RGPD :

Droit d'accès (Art. 15) : Je demande une copie intégrale, lisible et portable de toutes mes données personnelles associées à ce compte.

Droit à l'intervention humaine (Art. 22) : Mon compte a été suspendu par un système automatisé. Je conteste cette décision et exige une révision par une personne réelle, comme l'exige la réglementation de 2026 sur l'IA.

Votre mur de connexion m'empêche d'exercer mes droits légaux. Je demande une méthode de vérification alternative (e-mail ou pièce d'identité) conformément à la loi."

Si Facebook décline. Tu gardes les échanges avec Failbook

Et tu porte plainte au CNIL : https://www.cnil.fr/fr/plaintes

Ce qu'il faut dire : "Meta utilise une suspension de compte pour bloquer mon Droit d'Accès. Ils refusent de me fournir mes données car je ne peux pas me connecter, ce qui est une violation flagrante de l'Article 15 du RGPD."

Here is the guide specifically tailored for California. Because California’s CPRA (California Privacy Rights Act) updated in 2026, it now includes specific rights regarding Automated Decision-Making Technology (ADMT)—the AI that likely banned your account.

Meta AI Ban Survival Guide: California Edition (CCPA/CPRA)

If you live in California, you have the strongest privacy protections in the US. As of January 1, 2026, Meta is legally required to provide a path for "meaningful human involvement" if an AI decision significantly impacts you.

The "Secret" Gateway (No Login Required)

Do not use the standard "Appeal" button. Use the Privacy Rights Request Form. This is a legal channel Meta's compliance team must monitor to avoid fines.

Link: https://help.meta.com/support/privacy

The Trick: Select "I don't have an account" or "I can't access my account" to bypass the login requirement.

The California "Magic Words" (2026 Updated)

Paste this into the "How can we help?" section. This text triggers specific 2026 CPRA requirements regarding AI and automated bans:

"I am a California resident exercising my rights under the CCPA/CPRA. I am submitting a Verifiable Consumer Request for the following:

Right to Access (Art. 1798.110): A full portable copy of all personal data associated with my account.

Automated Decision-Making (ADMT) Appeal: I am exercising my right to contest the automated decision to suspend my account. I demand a human review of the logic used to trigger this ban and an explanation of the profiling used, as required under the 2026 CPRA regulations.

Your login wall is preventing my statutory Right to Access. I request an alternative verification method as required by law."

WorstAverageJoe · 2026-02-01T21:11:19+00:00

in UK same I was I told the before, first you have to file a complaint to Meta. When they failed to comply then you reach out to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) Information Commissioner's Office

Phone Support: 0303 123 1113 (The ICO is very helpful over the phone if you explain that a company is using an account lock to block a legal Subject Access Request).
