How is the startup procedure? Easy or very realistic?

You can start it either way.
All of the switches work, throttles roll, etc to do a VC start up, (for what is possible within the limitations of FSX) and there is a 'Ready To Fly' button on the Animation Control popup by using "Shift+1" for a quick start..
 
NOTICE: Tweaked FDE's available

Jordan Moore has posted over at Hovercontrol a tweaked FDE for the 222

CeraSim 222 flight dynamics update
Adjustments to the .cfg and .air file for the CeraSim 222 to address some aspects of the flight dynamics.
Slightly higher speeds, adjusted tail rotor authority, pitch tendencies, control fluidity, and more.
This update does not change any aircraft systems, only flight dynamics.

Also on the same page, "Nightsta1ker" has posted an excellent FDE update for the Nemeth payware MD500 Defender, (he has real world time in type).

MD 500 FDE Update No. 2
2nd update to the 500D, this time with improved rotor RPM: faster spool-up, more realistic autorotation behavior, can accomplish zero airspeed autorotation!, more powerful, faster: cruises at 60-75% torque, 125 knots, increased pedal authority. Enjoy!

You can find these tweaked FDE's on the link provided below.
I recommend getting both if you own copies.

Thanks! Like I said have zero helo time irl but it's much less jittery, especially on the pedals, during takeoff and touchdown. I can now cruise around 130 in yellow arc torque, which is about what the specs say.
 
NOTICE: Newer version of FDE now.

Actually, Jordan has done yet another update to the FDE.
It bleeds off speed better and has a more realistic decent rate.
Anyone who downloaded the FDE from the link I gave earlier should just re-download the file, and install the latest version.
It has just been updated.

Anyone downloading it now will have the latest version.

You can get it here:
