Helicopter Sim?

So I am looking for a realistic helicopter simulator, I've not done sims before so I have no idea. I hear mixed reports on MS Flight Sim X... so let me get down and simple. Towards the end of the year I will be taking lessons to fly a helicopter.... I am sick of computers and I understand there is a shortage of helicopter pilots and I think that kinda job would just kick all kinds of ass.

For those specific people who don't read.... I'll put this in bold, I don't expect to become an expert from playing a video game, but from what I understand these games do help. I have a cousin who is lying Cessna's right now at age 17, he flew his first day and did everything but land IIRC. He played these games for quite some time and apparently it helped.

So I'm just checking it out, I know some of you are big time flight sim lovers and I am sure has some advice.

    Don't know much about sims or gaming in general, however this may be of interest to you.

    "FlightGear is an open-source, multi-platform flight simulator".

    Possibly not a top ranking sim, but at least the price is right and it does have some helicopters in it.:)

    I guess I shouldn't suggest SimCopter... that game was fun. :)
