I was using my Esky TX and PPJoy to run Clearview and it was a real pain in the butt. I did eventually find someone who knew the setup parameters to get it to work, but I never would have guessed it. On a good day it was just OK. I know that you are saving to get the computer upgraded to use the "Good" sim, but sometimes an interim fix works. I got an Esky Simulator transmitter controller with USB connection for about $30.

And I don't use 8 AA cells to fly the sim.
