Like I said before, I received my copy of FSX a few days ago (actually I got it exactly one week ago). I must say I didn't have the time to take a very deep look at it - I think I must have only logged a couple of hours on it yet - but all my time was logged on the 206. By the way is worth to mention that the default FSX helicopters are the same ones as in FS9: The B206 and the R22.
One thing that will immediately hit you is that the flight model for helicopters is a bit easier; hovers are now easier to maintain since the helicopters are more stable. This is certainly going to please the average flight-simmer but in a rotorhead perspective, this is somewhat of a downside. I'm sure add-on developers will soon come around it.
What you'll also notice is that the anti-torque effectiveness is now constant. In FS9 the anti-torque would decrease effectiveness when you reduced collective and vice-versa. In FSX this doesn't happen anymore. Another upside - which, I must say, I haven't tried yet but there are reports from several simmers out there - is the ability to autorotate decently now. Pretty good!
I know this is not much of a review (it isn't meant to be one anyway) but I just wanted to give you my very first impressions on the helis in FSX. I'll try to write some more about it soon.
Keep hovering!!!
