Never flown a real Heli, but have flown in FSX. Never found that very easy depending on the model. The Aerofly R22 has two modes to fly the Helicopter. The easy version is quite straightforward. Very stable and good if you want to enjoy the view. The Profi version has (I've read) been developed to be very realistic with consultation with experts and is very hard... I use it most of the time but its not relaxing because it takes constant work to fly the thing as i'm sure the real thing does. Profi mode is harder than FSX it seems to me. I think you'd master either ok given practice... my two cents.
