Here are details:
- Free Flight mode
- Light and medium helicopters
- 30 x 30 km section of the Seattle terrain
- 2 singleplayer scenarios
- 3 time trial courses
- 3 training scenarios
- 1 multiplayer scenario
- A powerful 2D scenario editor (limited version, does not allow saving or loading)
DCS: Black Shark is the current gold standard for helicopter sims, and is only 20 bucks on Steam. It does simulate a coaxial configuration helicopter however, so the physics are a little different from a standard configuration helicopter. Still, 95% of the physical properties of helicopter flight are the same and would be a great aid to your understanding. Check out chapters 4 and 5 of the Black Shark flight manual, for more info on aerodynamics and physics of helicopter flight. You also might be interested in the US Army's field manual on the fundamentals of flight.
