I find the helicopter FDM quite reasonable. I've been flying a model
helicopter about the time when I finished school .... but this is
already 20 years ago, so my memory might play tricks with me. Still the
BO-105 behaves very much as how I'd expect it from knowledge of the
aerodynamical effects.
In my opinion the biggest drawback is the lack of appropriate
helicopter controls. A joystick and pedals for 200 Euro each will never
replace a real stick, collective and pedals. Successfull helicopter
flight is achieved by small and highly precise movement of all the
controls you have in such a beast - and I've personally never met
simulator controls that really meet the requirements.
Cheers,
Martin.
