Looking to learn rotative wings. Is this product the best helicopter available for MSFS?

Well, the product is advertised as "The Pinnacle of Airliner Simulation" and stayed as open beta for one year. Hot Start takes the full potential of XP and offers top notch simulation not charging $ 500.

It's hard to comprehend FF priorities on this aircraft. Nice and welcomed features like MEL, failures and maintenance stuff until you realize it's missing important functionalities to day to day normal ops. For me this product feels incomplete. FMC still lacks some features, such as the ALTN page, E-O VNAV, offset, and so on. Also, some VNAV symbology are not displayed on the ND. PMDG has its controversies and drama, but their fleet is top tier.

The best aircraft simulation out there. Really looking forward to WX Integration in CL650 and TBM900 in XP12.

Impressive lighting and weather representation. But it's live weather or a preset?

Honestly the real time weather engine of MSFS franchise is not yet capable of render a believable and authentic skyscape. There is a time (MSFS 2020 pre-SU7) when the overall atmosphere representation used to be pretty decent in live weather. These ugly ash clouds unfortunately began to populate the skies with the interpolation of METAR reports with Meteoblue data. IMHO MSFS is still lacking proper weather engine rework and dedication from Asobo. MSFS 2024 improved some aspects of the cloud generation but most of the time you will only see cumuliform clouds and maybe some generic cirrus formation.

Anyone experiencing whole system crash after some minutes of MSFS 2024 launch? The PC becomes irresponsive, fans speeds up and monitor losses input from GPU. I'm guessing it's a BSOD without a error log. Some users reported this error on MS official forum and so far there is no solution.
