There are many excellent free models for ClearView that you can download and use. They are created by experienced users all over the world. Links to the most popular models are posted on this page, so you can use them if you want.
Add user models to ClearView:
- Download the model and extract it in known folder. Copy the model folder from there to under c:\ClearViewRC\clearview\models and restart ClearView.
The following plane models, helicopter models and landscapes are created by Ken Northup. These are among the very best models available. The models and landscapes are combined (zipped) in packs. Models packs have 20 models each and landscapes packs have 10 models each.

The following models are created and expertly tuned by Michael Cofer.
Michael is accomplished 3d plane pilot who created many amazing aerobatic models for ClearView.
Here is what Michael say about his models:
Quote: ...- I think you and all CV pilots are going to flip over the way I have the parameters set up. I really cant 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 must see his flying videos on YouTube.
They are the best. We all can learn a lot watching him fly.

Download the model zip file and extract it under ClearViewRC\clearview\models folder. Then restart ClearView and you will see the model listed.
Create User Models in ClearView:
ClearView is designed to support easy model exchange and model customisation.
Users experienced with CAD or 3d modeling can create new models. Each model is represented by
a directory under "Program Files/SVK Systems/ClearView/models" folder.
The model directory contains all files relevant to that model. The model 3d files are in "data"
subdirectory of the corresponding model directory. This model files are in open 3d modeling format. The program used to create models is AC3D.
Many thanks to Mark Glennon who contributed this excellent manual:
Converting FMS models to ClearView including rotating props, moving surfaces and landing gear (html) or get it from here as pdf.
Mark's document shows how to create rotating props, moving control surfaces, control points and other details and contains all information needed to create models from scratch or convert FMS models to ClearView.
Michael Cofer created another converting manual on the same subject. He covers in details the whole process and gives excellent tips on working with ac3d.
We all know Michael for his ClearView models (posted latter on this page) and his flying videos on YouTube. This manual will be of great help to anyone interested in creating new models.
Converting FMS Models to ClearView Using AC3D by MichaelCofer
Currently, most of the ClearView models are build using flight physics version 5 for planes and version 3 and 4 for helicopters. We have developed a new generation flight physics (version 6) that over time will be used for all ClearView models. This new flight physics is under extensive testing and final tune up. We are in process of documenting how to built, setup and fine tune models for ClearView using the new flight physics. We will be posting all how to documents here:
