Hi Dave,
I have not been a one for cold and dark but i am with this model, it sounds great on start up just as i would think a real 206 would sound bearing in mind i have not been in or near a real 206.
I found this very helpful,

Taking off she wants to turn to starboard and i only use my Saitek Cyborg 3D stick but with the twist grip i found it fine, it does need careful handling but once i got flying it felt good and enjoyable and i started on the high level 5 and did not find a problem,
One thing i found at first was that with the engine noise in the VC i had a job to hear ATC but found by tweaking the Dodosim settings i sorted it out ok, when i fly for real in a Robin DR400 it's quite a noise once the engine starts but of course once your headset is on it's fine so i feel this would be the same in a 206.
All in all for the money these addons cost nowadays i am happy with this one, i paid a bit more for the Disc version rather than a download,
All the best,
Roger.
