Pc Based Flight Simulators, 135/145

Looking at a friend's Microsoft FSX got me wondering, is there an EC135/145 FSX add-on that is realistic in the sense that all the instruments, switches, auto-pilot, etc., are functional?

Not yet, my company made the last EC135 and its only partially functional as it was made in 2006 before many advancements were made. The ones closest to fully replicated would be the AS350/355. There are some severe limitations to helicopter modelling in FSX unfortunately that prevent certain things being able to be replicated properly, specifically auto's and VRS etc.

I'd be more interested in a cockpit replication of collective/cyclic switches, autopilot, NMS, etc., in order to do IFR approaches, is there anything like that? Perhaps another airframe example that would be close?

I would suggest Xplane 9 or 10
