One word - X-Plane. Only real Helo flight you are going to get since it is based on mathmatical models of airflow over surfaces as taken by NASA, instead of a fake model as found in FlightSim X for example. Flightsim X uses a fake model in that they take into account airspeed and what the aircraft is supposed to do in a given situation.
XPlane will instead compute airflow over the rotor blades as it moves through the air at multple different points. If a rotor blade point stalls in a given flight regime, that is taken into account and computed on the effect of the flight itself.
The downside to X-Planes method - to get proper airflow calculation, you must maintain a certain number of FPS. FPS is not an issue with Flightsim X, but its critical to get a proper flight model out of X-Plane. Drop below a certain FPS, and your flightmodel in X-Plane will drop back to a fake one as found in Flightsim X.
