There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Hovercontrol has an FSX Helicopters Download section.
Many of them are nice, including the ones by Jordan Moore, Dirk Fassbender, and the Eagle Rotorcraft Sim crew.

UK Mil has the Westland built Seaking and Aerospatial Gazelle that are both FSX Native and someone repackaged/repainted the FS Painter AS350 for FSX, everything works in it including the VA as well as it having 3 styles of instrumentation. The EC 135 is at HC with a Sload of options. And Let us not forget Piglet's H-6 series.

As for the EC135 it's at Hovercontrol on the first or second page for the FSX Helo
downloads.
I've had a lot of fun with the old alphasim super-cobra, ex payware now free. I bought in on initial realese and been flying it since then. It doesent really fly realistic in the sim, the FDE is rather dumbed down but it is still al lot of fun.

Go to the HC link I posted above instead.
Jordan Moore completely revamped a lot of things, including the FDE and Sounds.
You can download the entire package there.
EDIT: or just go here:

EDIT EDIT: Also if you have Acceleration, open the Panel.cfg and look for this line under [Vcockpit02]:
;gauge00=fa-18!hud_2d, 150,00,680,1000, 4
Simply remove the ';' , save, and the HUD will now be active.
