Here is what real ClearView customers have posted about ClearView on different RC forums:
... I purchased Clearview last week and have only had this weekend to get it up and running on Vista. This is truly outstanding software! It is clearly like the real thing. If a flight sim can get your adrenalin going, it must be real.
... I have owned Clearview for just over a week along with the cheap Esky TX sim. I have flown the Trex on Clearview for an hour a night over the last week. Nearly all was nose-in and the remainder was trying to improve my turns (I have a habit of climbing through right-hand turns). Last weekend, I went out to the park (over the fence) and withing 10 minutes had done my first 3 nose-in landings. GOOD landings. Clearview was the best$40 I have spent in ages. The bonus is now the family are trying to fly...
...I bought ClearView a couple of weeks back and haven't really been able to put it to the test as my USB cable only arrived yesterday. Well, after a few hours flying fixed wing and heli's I can say this: - ClearView delivers. It is an excellent tool and does equally as well as what all those high end expensive programs do...
...I use the PIC serial cable for my stock HB-CP2 ccpm Tx and ClearView from here. They also have a new PIC cable for the BladeCP ccpm Tx as the pinouts for the BladeCP and HB-CP2 are slightly different. Both of these cables filter out the Tx mixing as described here. The idle-up function works great mapping the on-off to the F1 and F2 keys on your PC keyboard, it does NOT work using the Tx switch (leave in normal mode). My setup works flawlessly with ClearView using 9600 baud on the serial port, 19200 does NOT work at all.....IMO at 30 bones for each, this is by far the best $60 sim setup on the planet... ... The weather in the UK is pretty crappy at the moment - wet and windy - so to pass the time, I've been using an RC Flight sim to keep my thumbs oiled. With most sims costing around $150 - 200, I was very pleasantly suprised when I found this link....
... If your just getting into this hobby then Clearview is a godsend since it doesn't require you to spend money on a Computer TX just yet. ClearView will allow you to practice flying with a USB Gamepad, this is almost identical to a Tx (it has two joysticks like a Tx) and only cost around $20. With the cost of the simulator at $30, you can be practicing on the computer for $50. Compair that to $200 for hi-end sim, and $200 for middle of the road Computer TX and you'll see the price difference!
... The dev team has done a great service to people who fly Blade CP/CX (& dozens of other models)... I probably have $1000 in my Shogun, & can fly it without crashing at least, but people with $200 birds deserve a decent sim at a killer price.
... Thanks so much for pointing out this sim and model of the Blade CP to me. I've just bought it & simply can not put it down, it's great. The Blade CP model is great; altho I do change cyclic gain from 40% to 20% under Easy Model Setup, almost dead on like my real model, terrific!
... I need to figure out how to HH lock the tail like the Trex model, as that's what I have on mine. I set 25% dynamic zoom and it's great. I can fly no better in the sim than I can in real life, very nice! I can forward circle and side-roll. Only sim I'll use now... ... I can't wait to digi-pic my backyard for a custom panorama with collision objects. And skin the blade to a HBee CP2 maybe, heck it's so nice I'll probably leave it. The XRB Lama flies great too, definately needs to be made into a CX simply because the CX looks so much better. .. ... I don't think a new BCP owner without a commercial sim can find anything closer for this price (nor do I think more money would help, or should try to get by with the free ones). It's helping my Dad fly his CX... I know... I've already modded the foam blade XRB Lama to move like the hard bladed Lama2 and CX. He's slow on the sticks/orientation still, but I've zoomed the little heli almost fullscreen so he can practice hovering. Clearview's models & sim params are a snap to change & the physics engine really is good.
... The HH gyro works great as it feels just like the Telebee/Align unit I'm using (took it from the Trex model), it's quite alot easier to fly without worrying on yaw so much (if flying a stock Blade, this will really spoil you). When I bumped rotor speed from 2000 or 2100 to 2200/2250 (under easy setup) it feels more like my BL instead of stock.
... Well i went ahead and bought the program and had a few problems getting it working with my controller so i emailed there tech suppot and got an instant reply and how to fix the problem. after a few emails back and forth within a few minutes i was up and running. Now thats what i call great customer support. Wished you can get support like that from some of these other companies...
... Allow to take you on a brief journey through my sim experience. I started with FMS. It's free, which is great and there is a good deal of support for it out there which is also quite nice. It is somewhat disappointing in the graphics and realism departments though. (I'm not knocking it, but I found that it was not what I wanted.) I then tried a demo of G3 at my LHS. The graphics were very good and it felt much more realistic than FMS. The big downside for me was the $190 price tag. That's enough for me to buy all (or almost all) of a new plane or heli and I would rather do that with my money than buy a sim. Then I found ClearView.http://rcflightsim.com/ Free download to try it out and only $30 to buy it! The graphics are in the same league as G3 and the physics feel even more realistic. Add to that 9 flying fields and 30 models (15 heli/15 airplane) and you've got the absolute best deal in RC. Even better than the AeroAce! There's even another 100ish planes and 50ish helis out there for free download. To top this excellent package off there's the amzingly good customer service. I had computer problems that were leaving me with very low FPS. While sorting this problem out I emailed back and forth with customer service 3 times. I got two of the responses back in under 5 minutes and the longest I waited for a response was 20 minutes! I didn't know customer service like that even existed anymore! I certainly wouldn't have believed it would come from an online dealer. In closing let me urge anyone interested in buying a sim to download ClearView today. You'll have a top-notch sim and save a great deal of money and headaches...
... The flying is spot on in my opinion and my previous controller setup for FMS was not fitting the bill. I was crashing quite a bit using my playstation controller compared to when I used to fly with FMS. I went ahead and got an E-Sky USB Controller and just received that in the mail today. Flying with that in Clearview is amazing. I highly recommend it!...
...I recommend CV to all my new students and club members. It is a great program, outstanding service and Stefan is a great guy to deal with - very helpful. I could not be happier with it - it has really improved my flying ability, and saved me $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ from not having to repair all of the models I have crashed on the sim
 Nice to see there are still dealers like this ! ......I bought G3 used and I am somewhat happy with it, but today I tried the demo with my G3 controller and I was really suprised at the feel of the heli. For someone who don't want to spend the extra cash I would suggest this sim. Now it don't have the bells and whistles as G3 but I feel it is a great simulator for the price. If I had to do it over again I don't know if I would have spent the extra money fo G3. It seems to me that people get caught up in the big name products like G3, Reflex and others which I am included in this group, that we don't give other good products a chance. To be honest the physic felt just as good as my G3. Some people might disagree but this is what I have experienced. I might purchase it to go on my older laptop so some of the people on my job who bug me about flying my heli (which won't happen) can see what I go through to fly....
