Meet Airbus H160
Airbus launched the H160 programme publicly in 2015, with the first flight that year. The design combines a composite-intensive airframe with distinctive swept main-rotor tips and an enclosed tail rotor. Its roles include passenger transport and public-service work.
HPG's simulator implementation places particular emphasis on its automatic flight-control system. The four-axis AFCS and its backup stability functions are different concepts from vibration control or simple joystick assistance, and the developer manual gives them their proper context.

Four-axis automation with a separate backup layer
HPG's H160 has a four-axis automatic flight-control system, two main computers and backup SAS. Cyclic trim release temporarily gives the pilot an input window, while beep trim changes meaning according to the active upper mode. The guide distinguishes autopilot-off, upper-mode-off and backup-cut actions, so those labels should not be collapsed into one generic disconnect.
