Hey everyone...Happy New Year! I hope it's warmer where you are than it is here in MN.

I've been looking around at the various simulators out there but can't figure out which one is for me.

This is where your expertise comes in.

I'm mainly looking for a simulator with the most realistic flight characteristics for helis...beginning and advanced (3D) flight. Training modes showing how to achieve a maneuver would be great for learning new tricks. I'm most interested in the 400-600 sized electric helis.

What I don't want is a simulator that is too easy to fly giving me a false sense of accomplishment. I'd actually like a simulator that is harder to fly than the actual model in RL. Does that make sense?

I'd also like use it to learn more 3D skills for planes as well, but this is not as important to me than the most realistic heli flight. Everything else is just a bonus to me...additional aircrafts / fields, custom aircrafts / fields...

If you ave any thoughts along these lines, please post up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
