Default Quality helicopter sim?

I d/l the demo and tried it. Didn't get far with it because it

bothered to fly with a mouse or keyboard. That's certainly not
"realism", IMO. Not actually sure about the quality of the flight
model. I didn't get that far.


I use a twist stick and I get rudder control, collective too. But I have
the full game and never tried the demo.

The flight model was just as pathertic in FS2004 as 2002.

I'm rated in commercial/instrument helos and really fly both. I've
been flying for a living for years.

And on the computer I also have a fancy set of $1000 flight controls.

M$ did a typically pathetic job on their software, but at least it
installed okay! ;-)
