I have to agree with hawkman,

Though these days all the sims that are available are good. I use the Reflex XTR, it is solid and has great flight physics. That is to say that the way the heli's and aircraft fly in the sim enviroment is as close to real as you need to be without being at the feild.

There is one thing that is very important though when you want to go into the sim world. This is your PC, Make sure that your PC at least meats the minimum requirments. If that is no problem then you will get a great time out of your simulator.

The hoverfly is actually cheeper than any simulator that is worth having. and is going to give you the fun of flying for real though. A lot of the students that I have actually prefer there lessons on the hoverfly because they can actually see themselves flying for real. It does help there enthusiasum for the hobby.

Simulators I would recommend.

Reflex XTR,
Realflight G3.
Easyfly Pro,
Trueflight,
Easyfly/Piccofly,

Their are lots to go and view. If you go to most good model shops they have one set up so that you may try one before you buy.

Hope this helps.
