X-plane may have great visuals, but the helicopter model has some serious issues - any movement of the cyclic causes huge changes in the torque/ manifold pressure, for example.
MD FS X is probably OK for piston engine helos, but won't properly model power limiting (by slowing the rotor down when you reach maximum power).
Both need large visuals and full size controls to really get to see the effects of controls, etc.

S61
Let me know when you get the 61 finished - I'll get one. There was a great bristow SAR61 for FS2004 made by one of the pilots I think but I can't find it now and it was not FSX compatible - Some key instruments didn't load. I'm sure with a little more knowhow it wouldn't be a massive job to convert from the 2004 model, or am I wrong?

Its prob animated to a certain key or they automatically appear on the pitot tubes when you shut the engines down. Justflights R44 has rotor tie downs animated to a certain key when you shut down. Thou eurostar will confirm when he comes back on the forum (god knows when)!
