Got Friends’ Mini 500, Cowan Simulation’s Bell 206 and the Cabri G2.
Still waiting on Cowan’s 500E that was submitted to Microsoft well over a month ago. 
Definitely looking forward to his H125 and the Hill HX50 from Helisimmer.
You can get the 500E from their website. it is fantastic and my favorite so far.
I’m on Xbox, so Marketplace only.

The Cowan 500E. Not perfect just yet but really good, a lot of fun & i believe an update or two coming in the near future. I’m yet to try out the Got Friends Mini 500 though.
Looking forward to Cowan’s upcoming H125.

Hello @SlingerNZ ,
There is a helicopters subcategory. I have moved your post there.
My favorites are the HPG H145 for its complete simulation of a modern, advanced helicopter, and the FlyInside 206 for the pure helicopter flying experience.
Cant really pick a favourite, but these four are the best for me

I’ve flown the Asobo Cabri G2 more than one hundred hours and I like it.

Flyinside 206 is the only one that checks all the boxes-
- Can roll off throttle & split the needles for autorotations
- Can spool back up to recover
- ETL transition
- Simulates vortex ring state, and is recoverable with the right techniques
- Realistic top speed, going over will get you retreating blade stall
- Level flight at cruise without pedal input.
Their 47G can also do all that but is too slow for group flights, you quickly get left behind. The H145 is a marvel but too hands-off for me, i like to fly the machine. Everything else uses the Asobo model which isn’t fully baked yet. GotFriends mini 500 is the closest to taming it though, but again, too slow for groups.

And when will us xbox people get our hands on these flyinside choppers?!
I would really like to fly the 47!
The mini 500 and cabri are the best of course, its the only ones you can actually control 100%.
But the cowan 206 is the one you most feel like you are actually inside a helicopter flying it, but you have to sort of fight it a lot, its probably great with a long real flightstick
HPG H-145. There are on-going improvements. The developer is in daily contact with customers and puts out modifications several times a week. I also fly the MV-22 Osprey, while not helicopter, it can fly like one. When in that mode, it has the the same instinct to kill its pilot.

Rotary death-machines, the lot of ‘em
SU12 is supposed to have WASM support… so probably soon.

Without doubt the H-145. Easily the best chopper and including the action pack variant easily one of the best third party aircraft I’ve yet tried.

The FlyInside helicoptors require an external app in order to run. This is different than WASM, which is a compiled extension to the running application. The XBox can’t run two executables at the same time. Which then means, these particular helicoptors as they are now wouldn’t be able to come to XBox.
Flyinside 206 for VFR, and H145 for IFR!
