![]() ![]() In fact, we think it is the best flight model that you can get now, regardless of price. Unlike any other sim, ClearView offers life time upgrades and free extra models - any one can create ClearView models and many hundred models are available on the web for free download. glow trainer), Magister Electric, LazyBee, LazyBee floats, Sportster, Agri Duck and Bellanca Decathlon - all these are good trainers. The trainer planes are Aileron Trainer (60 size glow trainer), Basic Trainer (60 size 3 ch. What trainer(s) does it offer?ĬlearView (hosted on ) offers 40 planes and 40 helis stock. And from what you say about it, it appears to be a safe recommendation for beginners to try. Unfortunately, I don't have Clearview, but it's price certainly would be good for many. He also has 4.5 and is using both in his development. They seem to have made the world less forgiving and from just flying the Nexstar (after seeing your observations of it) it appears to be pretty lifelike. I think 4.0 had 8 or 10 updates, improvements and I know I've installed 2 updates to 4.5. It's no consolation to those stuck in the past for whatever reason, but it's a great comfort to those of us who can and wish to have 4.5 available. Good thing that GreatPlanes continued to work on the reported problems and bugs and regularly releases new versions and updates. Based on my experiences with the RC Plane Master demo, it shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as ClearView. It is an absolute bargain at $39.99, even if you have to spend another $20 to $25 to get an ESky USB controller to fly it with. I actually laughed out loud when I first went to take off with the Cap580 and felt how far off the physics were on RealFlight G3.5 compared to ClearView.Ĭlearview is a terrific flight simulator with good graphics and a wide array of accurate flying models. To compare it, I loaded up RealFlight G3.5 and flew the FlatOut Cap580 inside the Athletic Club gymnasium, with both airframe and flying site on G3 Expansion Pack #1. I flew the E-Flight Tribute around inside a gymnasium on ClearView for about 30 minutes and was delighted with how realistic it felt. Indoor flying physics feel much more realistic to me with ClearView. I expected that helis might be a weak point with ClearView, but it doesn't appear so. I'm no helicopter expert, but I've found the helicopters in ClearView to be modelled as well as RealFlight G3.5. On RF G3.5, cutting the Nexstar to half throttle causes it to drop like a rock and it seems barely flyable. The trainer floats in very naturally and exhibits fairly accurate gliding characteristics. Trainer flight physics on ClearView feel more realistic to me. I recently registered ClearView to unlock the full flight sim, and I find it superior to RealFlight G3.5 in several ways. To be blunt, I normally fly Real Flight G3.5. The demo version comes with the 4-channel trainer as flyable, and I found it to feel far more realistic than trainers on even more expensive flight simulators. I downloaded the demos for both Plane Master and Flight Master and found them to be very disappointing.ĬlearView, on the other hand, I found to have surprisingly good physics. RC Plane Master/RC Flight Master looks to be an attempt to take the FMS source code and punch it up with a nice menu and a few new bells and whistles to sell it commercially, nothing more. Practising at home with the same Tx you use at the field is handy.I'm surprised you describe RC Plane Master as more realistic than ClearView. PS always have your controller or Tx started up first - CV will boot and run without it but mine defaults to the throttle wide open so it's inconvenient and noisy until the Tx is ready. It takes mine at least 30 seconds to start up, it's not so much CV itself but the Java and the 3D stuff for Java sub-system that has to initialise. I really wish there was a Linux version.ĭid you ever get this working on Linux? I never got very far with Linux but I was under the impression that since CV's written in Java you should be able to make it work. ![]() After a reinstall of Vista I found my activation key would not work (only works once to control piracy I guess) but thanks to the excellent customer service at CV I was able to get up and running again, thanks Stefan. Even rebooting didn't work, the 2 frozen screens popped back up. Anyway I clicked again and got 2 CV screens, both frozen and could not be closed. Mainly I use Linux and am used to instant loading of programs. I believe it's a Vista bug but when I clicked on CV nothing seemed to be happening. I just got my paid version of CV this week and am running it on Vista - 32bit. ![]()
