Clear View to easy?

[Richard Sweet]

Hi,

I'm using Clear View and a cheap E-Sky USB transmitter to learn how to fly helis before spending money on a T-Rex based AP rig.

I've never flown a real life radio control helicopter before, but I used to fly R/C planes about 10 years ago.

I'm slowly getting used to flying the choppers, my concern is the planes seem far to easy to fly.

With in a few flights I had a Edge 540 in a nice inverted low pass, followed by a stall-turn and a nice smooth landing. I really doubt I could do this in real life. Particularly in landing, the planes seemed very reluctant to stall.

I'm just wondering how realistic the heli models are in Clear View? Is it condidered a decent flight sim? Or am I just lulling myself in to a false sense of security?

hello, i have been using clearview for around 9 months and the sim is good at geting used to orientation and flying a helicopter. The sim has helped me get used to hovering when i first started to fly and now that i am starting ff it helps a little but once you start getting into flips and other 3D stuff clearview isnt that great. So for starting out clearview helped me.

i hope this has helped a little bit.

And have you looked at their web-site for new versions of clearview. The website is http://www.rcflightsim.com/
