You can get it here. Now here's where the sim market shines. All the sims I'll speak of allow you to fly around the world and have quite a few free and payware aircraft available.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is probably the best-known simulator for the flight sim veteran. The first version was released in and the first helicopters were made available in with Microsoft Flight Simulator Since then the helicopter flight model has been slightly improved but not a lot.
There are a lot of available helicopters for FSX but, due to the limitations in the simulator, the flight characteristics are not that good. Dodosim revolutionized the sim when they released their Advanced and there was a Huey on the works which was never released.
The Dodosim Advanced was highly acclaimed by the helicopter community and has shown that it was possible to deliver high quality helicopters, even if it required an external program and extensive hacking. Haven't you subscribed to our YouTube channel yet???
The Dodo is still the best "out-of-the-box" helicopter out there for FS9 and FSX but there's also another solution for other helicopters. Unfortunately not a lot of users release profiles, so despite being an amazing piece of software that truly transforms -- and vastly improves -- helicopters in FSX and Prepar3D, it lacks the support of the community to become a huge success and transform the world of helicopter pilots in these sims.
The greatest thing about FSX is the fact that has a lot of developers working for it on both aircraft and scenery. It's possible to bring a marvelous amount of realism to the scenery with excellent mesh and texture quality. FSX is available for Windows only. Despite the updates, P3D still suffers from the poor helicopter flight characteristics but the upside is that pretty much everything that's made for FSX is compatible with P3D and vice-versa.
So, there's a LOT of aircraft and scenery available. With the improved graphics engine, P3D can easily become a gorgeous sim, with great scenery for us helicopter pilots to fly around -- if you can see past the flight limitations.
You can purchase it here. P3D is only available for Windows. For helicopter pilots, though, X-Plane is much better regarding the flight characteristics.
It's pretty much a dream for us, with great features that allow us to have realistic aircraft. With companies like DreamFoil Creations , releasing increasingly better quality products, helicopters in X-Plane are quickly becoming more complex and very interesting to fly. It's possible to perform hoisting or fire-fighting operations, so X-Plane brings quite a lot on the table when compared with the other sims. Screenshots by Silentdark The downside? X-Plane's default scenery is as bad as FSX's default scenery or worse but with a bigger problem: the amount of high quality scenery out there is pretty low.
With some better scenery, X-Plane can become the almost perfect civilian helicopter flight simulator. All the rest is there: realistic startups, flight model, the works. Bonus: you can download the X-Plane demo for free and try it out before committing to buy it. You can get the demo here , and purchase it here. FlightGear is somewhat of the "rogue" sim of the bunch. Of all the simulations presented here, this is the only one that's free and open-source.
The helicopter flight model is pretty good but the aircraft and scenery offer is one of its weak points. I have yet to find a helicopter with fully functional virtual cockpit and realistic startup and shutdown. Jungle Strike received worldwide acclaim for its superb design, flawless graphics, and controls. Take On helicopters Gameplay.

The maps in the game are small that are not ideal for exploration. Also, most missions are simple and may feel far from realistic.
