Meet AgustaWestland AW109
The A109 originated with Agusta in Italy and continued through AgustaWestland into Leonardo. Its streamlined cabin, four-bladed main rotor and retractable undercarriage suited executive transport as well as emergency-service and other utility work.
Later developments changed engines, cabin details and avionics. The AW109SP represented by X-Trident is a particular modern version, with its own engine-management and automatic flight-control systems. An early A109 photograph is therefore family history rather than proof of the SP's equipment.

X-Trident
Four-axis automation and twin-engine management
X-Trident's AW109SP 2.0 documentation lists SAS, attitude and upper autopilot modes, together with automatic hover and take-off functions. FADEC and engine load-sharing are part of the twin-engine model. The developer also distinguishes some flight-model behaviour between X-Plane 11 and 12, so the simulator branch remains relevant.
