changing throttle idle settings on the clearview sim

[Myron Beaumont]

Tried everything ! Or should I say 'er indoors has .Doesn't seem to be able to reduce the throttle setting at idle to below what I would guess at about 5000 rpm .In other words,the aeroplane won't stay static when idling .

Sick and tired of virtual anything -Just thought I'd brush up on what I've done in real life but it doesn't work like that these days dose it ? Apart from three year olds that can press the right buttons that is .AAAAgh!!

I can fly the Extras and similar ,but no way can I fly a trainer

I haven't got Clearview, Myron, but in Phoenix, each model can have a vast number of parameters adjusted individually. Is that an option for you?.

Have you tried reducing the throttle trim on the Tx?

I'm using a Logtec Attack controller.It has a joystick for elevator,aileron ,rudder and a up/down thingy for throttle on the base a bit like mode two .I do have a reality flght type Tx but the aileron function packed up .Not worth mending (or is it?)

Just thought I'd brush up on basic flying after a long absence thbis morning .Now I have more problems !

Any practice is better than none but it's much better to train your fingers using a proper Tx as the controller. If you can fix the Reality Tx, that will be helpful. If you can't, can you use a trainer-type lead to attach your (Futaba?) Tx to the computer?

If Clearview is anything like Phoenix, you should be able to go into an 'Edit Model' menu which allows you to adjust the physics of the individual model, which may mean you can adjust engine speed, C of G, expo, etc.

Of course, the best practice of all would be to stop prevaricating, get the Easyglider charged up and get out into that field - today!!!!.........

try this calabrate the conroller but when it says zero all sicks put the throttle trim full up then before the flight reduce the throlle down

if no trim try holding the throttle at a lower piont than center when calibrating

I have got Clearview. As Phil B says, run the ,Calibrate controller, and it should be fine.

Hi Myron,

What you need to do is calibrate your controller.

Basically the program needs to know the exact positions of the sticks.

It's under tools > calibrate > then you have to centre the sticks > then you move the sticks in each direction > then click accept and your idle should be spot on

Any more hassles PM me and I can try help on the phone perhaps.

I use clearview, using my reality craft Tx (or empty box), it seems ok. I have been told that any old Tx will do, but I do not know

I had trouble getting one transmitter from some other simulator to work, not sure which one coz I gave the while package away. I use my DX8, just set it up as a model.

It would be great to get a Netplay going but I just don't know how.
