I just hope that whatever else MS are planning for FSX they do womething about the traffic and the way ATC interacts with it and us.
I recently flew from a local airport in the UK to one in the north of England and was given clearance to land, I was actually in a helicopter which FS9 ATC just doesn't even consider, and was about 500' AGL when I was ordered to go-around just because an aircraft given take-off clearance about 5 mins before was still sitting on the runway just starting to roll.
I a real world scenario I would have been cleared to hover-land on or about the threshold allowing outbound traffic to clear the runway and then I would have been approved a hover-taxi to the helipad.
SO please FSX, remember you put heli's into flight sim and teach it how to interact with them.
