Yes, the AW169 has an "APU" mode which matches the Accessory Drive so familiar to a Sea King driver: but all sorted via touch screen and simple switchology! It would be a big safety and convenience feature for keeping systems such as the air-con running with blades stopped, the No 1 drives everything at idle with low fuel burn whilst No 2 is shut down and blades stopped.
The touch screens are immensely intuitive, and won't give an option (icon greys out) unless it is available. Current software issue is 90 seconds to get the screens online with systems showing for start, Finnmechanica is working on a reduction as well as sorting the nearest GPS facility and the collective hunting. It is smoother hand flown (in some circumstances) than allowing the collective to hunt around, although it does settle down given enough time. The weather radar goes to standby with WOW, but can be inadvertently switched on when on the ramp. Not so much of an issue for us old timers but a trap for young players used to the software protecting them.
Good seats with plenty of adjustment (bliss) and great vision from the front. Comprehensive display with stunning screens. No run-down time whatsoever for the engines, just turn them off. Very difficult for any turbine experienced pilot to get used to! No boost pump at all, so with one engine shut down the fuel for that side is unable to be used by the good engine: no low level fuel interconnect. Debatable recognition of engine reliability?
Externally: huge coanda strakes built into the tail boom. Tail rotor control via a cable. Tail rotor hub is akin to a main rotor head, and a three bladed T/R on a five blade M/R just looks weird. Passenger retracting steps are huge, and the underbelly storage is almost big enough to be taken for a firefighting belly tank! Cargo bay access is on the left side again, still out of sight of the pilot in SP ops.
Rear cabin: nice seating, as you'd expect. LED lights default on when the aircraft starts, and require the (hot) lamp cover to be pushed in order to turn off; each of them, and there are 4 on each side! Mood lighting controllable from a touch screen alongside the left rear passenger seat, who is also the only one with intercom to the pilot.
