Description
This high quality RC flight simulator is serious tool that will help you learn to fly RC models. The program is based on our award winning ClearView RC Flight Simulator for PC, with number of refinements and improvement added over the last 10 years. Our models fly the same as real RC models, in real RC flying fields. We also included advanced auto pilot, that will fly together with you, so you learn faster. Do not fly your real models before trying this program! Don't crash your models, crash ours! Crashing models here cost nothing.This application will save you money, frustration and many days in waiting for model parts.
Learn to fly without fear. Rain or wind outside, start flying right now!
Models Included:
- 33 Plane Models
- 21 Helicopters
- 4 Drones
- 6 Boats
- 4 Cars
- 1 Transformer (Car, Boat, Plane, Drone and Heli all in one)
Landscapes Included:
- 6 Photo Real flying fields
- 2 3D flying fields with water areas (for first person view FPV).
- 3 Helicopter training fields with variety of obstacles
- 7 Boat lake fields with variety of skills areas
- 2 Car track fields
Camera views:
- Fixed pilot view for RC flying (with close up view)
- First person view for FPV (for 3d fields)
Features:
- Real model physics, they all react exactly as real RC models.
- Works well with keyboard, USB gamepads and real RC transmitters with USB sim cable.
- Advanced auto pilot - easy set up with many assist modes.
- Smoke System.
- Doppler sound effects.
- Import user created models (most ClearView models can easy be re-used with minor mods). We also support .obj model format.
- The only simulator with boats and cars in addition to planes and helicopters, so even small kids can enjoy the program.
- Best for age range from 8 to 88 years old.
This is not a game. You are controlling flying RC models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect "arcade" style controls.
The simulator can be controlled via the keyboard, but for best result, use USB simulator cable and real RC transmitter or USB Simulator Gamepad device. See out web site http://rcflightsim.com for details and support.

Ratings and Reviews
A good sim for the price
I needed a new RC sim to replace Aerofly RC7 following Apple's removal of OpenGL Support in Big Sur (Aerofly RC7 is now totally unplayable). There is a free version of Absolute RC Sim for the Mac so I gave it a go.
First up, don't expect Aerofly levels of realism. This isn't a criticism; Aerofly is (at least) twice the price of this sim, so I would expect there to be quality differences. And this sim really is a good sim for the money and it rattles along nicely on my mid-2014 Macbook Pro i5 Retina.
PROS
- Very good selection of planes, helis, quads, cars and boats (yes, this also has cars and boats, which is a great, fun addition)
- All vehices have their own character and handling, making for some easy and challenging flights
- Photorealistic sceneries are well put together, and there is a good selection
- Fun, 3D sceneries also available, with parkour sections for drones and helis
- Works well with my Interlink Plus controller via USB
- Realism is certainly workable, with some good wind effects
- Models are rendered nicely. Certainly good enough
- Nice touches, including on-screen help and binocular view
CONS
- You can't go to the model folder and tweak the models
- Adding user models and sceneries is a bit of a bind; you need to import from a web location
- You can't assign auxilary functions to radio switches for gear, flaps, etc
- Although realism is good, models do tend to have a built-in stabiliser. This can make them 'too' easy to fly enjoyably
WISH LIST
- Ability to tweak or locally install new models and sceneries
- Ability to add auxilary radio/controller buttons
- Realistic ground effect (especially for helis)
- Ability to add random drift parameter, as with real life models (effectively no stabilisation)
Do I recommend this product?
Yes, absolutely! :o)
