Well, you can do that if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend Clear View to anyone. I've heard people rant and rave about how great it is, and how realistic it seems ... but I think those are people that have only tried the free FMS. If those people have ever tried a real sim like FS1 or Realflight, they would have a VERY different perspective. The graphics are the only good thing about the program. The model dynamics and controller configurability are horrible. The only way you're going to learn anything that would be usefull in flying the real thing is going to be an expensive simulator. You can learn just as much from the free sim as you'd be able to from Clear View.
