Helicopters

Rotorcraft and helicopters have always been somewhat difficult to fly in any flight simulator package, be it Microsoft Flight Simulator or the X-Plane series; flying has always been challenging.  Even in real life, piloting a helicopter takes longer to learn than a fixed-wing aircraft.  Included within this section are many of the most popular helicopters and rotorcraft.  Installation is usually quite easy and many of the files include a read-me document explaining the installation procedure.
