I can help u with that, i fly a ec-120 for cpl(h)
certification.. now i have ~ 50 hours... i think i can give you a clue.
I also dreamed about improving the helicopter code for FG, but my
programming skills are limitated, so i'm looking forward to your work.
I will take a look at documentation and see if i will be able to develop a model of ec-120 to use your code. X-plane, have so far the most realistic helicopter model, i was tring to develop the ec-120 for x-plane, but does not offer suport for FENESTRON and i gived up, as far as i remember neither FG has FENESTRON support. any way... i'll give it a try.

I've been looking at the math to model downwash, and I think there may
be some relatively easy kludges to slap into place to both handle
ground effect, and maybe even VRS. Oh for unlimited time to work on
this stuff, I've got some good ideas to do blade lift modeling, but
the last thing I want to do after a day of programming is program
more.
I can't make any promises as to time, but I'll take gradual steps
towards getting a copy of the code on my machine and diddling with it.
Is there a real helicopter pilot on the list who'd be interested in
taking my changes and saying "yes, this is realistic" or "not on
anything I've ever flown"?
