The Verge has published a rather interesting in-depth look at how Microsoft added helicopters and gliders to Microsoft Flight Simulator. The two vehicle classes were long-time fan requests that took a French studio a lot of work to implement. Physics are hard, it turns out. 😛 Worth a read!

Not surprised. Helicopter physics are so complex because they're not aerodynamically stable in flight. Flying helicopter is extremely hard, so modeling them I can only imagine is much harder.
