I know it's no "Real Flight" but looks half way decent. Any comments for the helicopter area?

well it's basically FMS and a usb transmitter =) FMS is a free simulator that you can just download. Personally I think the transmitter is well worth the money and is built quite solidy. It just comes up as a game controller, so you can use it in other games as well. Basically FMS is good for orientation, and will teach you a bit of how sensitive the controls can be
