🛠️ User-Created Models and Download Packs

How to Add User Models to ClearView:

  1. **Download** the model zip file and extract the contents to a known folder.
  2. **Copy** the extracted model folder to `c:\ClearViewRC\clearview\models`.
  3. **Restart ClearView** to see the new model listed in the simulator.

Models and Landscape Packs by Ken Northup

The following plane models, helicopter models, and landscapes are created by **Ken Northup**. These are among the very best community-made models available. Models are combined (zipped) in convenient packs, with Model Packs containing 20 models each and Landscape Packs containing 10 models each.

Expertly Tuned 3D Aerobatic Models by Michael Cofer

The following models are created and expertly tuned by **Michael Cofer**, an accomplished 3D plane pilot who developed many amazing aerobatic models for ClearView.

"...I think you and all CV pilots are going to flip over the way I have the parameters set up. I really can't tell much difference between my real 3D aerobatic planes and the sim models. Snap rolls / barrel rolls / blender / flips / rolling harriers left and right outward and inward / knife edges passes slow or fast / elevators / side slips up or inverted / 4 point flipping turns / quarter turns in flight / total all out 3D fun."

You can see his exceptional flying skills in action on his YouTube channel.

Create Your Own Models for ClearView

ClearView is designed to support easy **model exchange and customization**. Users with experience in CAD or 3D modeling can create new models. Each model is represented by a directory under the `ClearViewRC\clearview\models` folder. The 3D model files are located in the "data" subdirectory of the corresponding model directory and use an open 3D modeling format. The recommended program for creating models is AC3D.

Model Conversion and Setup Manuals

Mark Glennon's Manual: FMS Model Conversion

Many thanks to Mark Glennon who contributed this excellent manual covering how to create rotating props, moving control surfaces, control points, and other details. It contains all the information needed to create models from scratch or convert FMS models to ClearView.

Michael Cofer's Manual: Converting FMS Models to ClearView Using AC3D

Michael Cofer created another comprehensive converting manual covering the whole process in detail, with excellent tips on working with AC3D. This manual will be of great help to anyone interested in creating new models.

New Generation Flight Physics (Version 6) Documentation

We have developed a new generation flight physics (version 6) that will eventually be used for all ClearView models. This new physics is currently under extensive testing and final tune-up. The following documents detail how to build, set up, and fine-tune models using the new flight physics.
