Default Returning pilot

OK, it has been at least 5 years since I have flown my heli.
While I am not completely free, I want to go back to flying one (at least with simulator).

I have an old RC Aerochopper by Ambrosia. I think the company is out of business.
I still have everything from control to the disk. It helped me a lot back then.
However, it is old and I saw some new 3D simulators. They look cool!

I have tried to search on the subject, but I found nothing on what my options are at this moment.

1. should I re-use the old simulator?
2. should I buy a new one?
3. I saw a lot of freeware simulators out there. I wonder if the contol (radio) I have from the old simulator would work with them.

Any advice?

Thanks!

Keep it simple, buy a new sim. If you get on Ebay you can find some flight simulators for RC helicopters. The best ones that come to mind are Reflex or Realflight.
