This $20 E-Sky USB controller works very well with ClearView. You can  get one from E-Bay. For more details, please read the controllers section in the ClearView manual  here  

In short, you can use any controller that can be recognized by Windows as gamepad. You can find USB cables on e-bay here for about $6. Some Blade CP and Walkera 6 ch. transmitters need a special cable from here.

Here is a good quality Saitek gamepad that can be used:

 

 

Here is how the Saitek controls should be assigned in Setup screen:

 

 

 

To verify that your controller or USB cable is recognized by Windows, select "start", then "control panel", and then "game controllers". If your controller shows there, it can be used with ClearView.

 

Note: The infrared receiver for remote control on computers with Windows media center can interfere and prevent ClearView from recognising the USB cable. In this case, disconnect the infrared remote control receiver before starting ClearView.

 

The PIC Serial cables do not show on this window. For the serial cable, you must start ClearView and go to the Controllers screen, where you will find the cable listed on one of the com ports. Make sure you have the cable plugged in and Tx is On before starting the simulator.

 

 

 

You will get the best results using your own RC radio transmitter to control the simulator. As we allready mentioned, USB and Pic Serial cables can be used with equally good results.
