Hello sim addicts, could someone advise me on the best Freeware/payware helicopters for FSX. What would be ideal is a helo with a very good virtual cockpit and hopefully realistic start up procedure.

Have been searching online but nothing as yet hits the spot. Oh Russian Helo's are my favourite. That's why I bought Blackshark, can it get any better?:wavey:

thanks in advance.......................eccles

In short, no it doesn't get better than Blackshark in terms of realism. Alphasim has a few Russian Helos, but I'm not sure about startup procedures. Nemeth seems to be the gold standard in Helicopter systems realism. (They haven't updated their Russian choppers to FSX yet unfortunately)
 
The Nemeth Designs Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion for MS Flight Simulator X is worth checking out. Available at SimMarket.
 
I am very fond of the freeware Piasecki H-21 Shawnee (Mick Posch), a beautiful beast! (From Flightsim and others) :applause::applause::applause:

I wouldn't say Alphasim deals with too much start up procedures but some of their helos rank on top for me.

Alphasim:
Blackhawk (personal favorite)
Black shark
Sea Sprite
AH64D Apache Long bow
AH64A Apache
CH-53 Sea Stallion
MH-53 Pavelow

Nemith Design: I find with this company you really need to download all the patches if they make them.

CH-53E Super Stallion
Eurocopter EC-135
I still need to buy the Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm BO-105 and MD 500 defender.
They are working on a EC-225 Super puma that I'm interested in.
These are some of the ones I really like.

i really like some of the alphasim helis (blackhawk is my fav from them) dodosim is awesome at realism nemith designs made a awesome ch-53 aerosoft seahawk is crap though unfortunatly hopefuly their heuy wont be such a disaster
 
The freeware Piasecki gets my vote too, but I don't own any Payware helicopters and rarely fly helicopters.

It's an amazing piece of freeware.
 
Heli's for me.

Thank you for your replies, yup Blackshark is going to be hard to beat.
Will try some of your suggestions, and hope by practising diligently in FSX with their heli's will become a better Ka-50 pilot. One lives and hopes. My landings in BS can be, um exciting. God knows how many friendly ground crew I have killed, especially at the FARPS, forgive me comrades!

cheers eccles.
