A321 NEO LR issue with engine start sounds

Hello Gang!

I can't wait for the A321 to be brought up to par with the A320 panel and goodies but I have to highlight two issues that need addressing:

1. The A321NEO LR has a sound issue every time you try to crank up the engines (turn them on), there is a piston aircraft start sound (like a Cessna 172 prop crank noise) that goes into a loop and the only way to shut it up is by turning off the engine ignition switches. In my case this is isolated to the 321NEO LR.

2. The overhead panel is black. The only way to see anything is via de integrated lighting knob but it is still hard to see anything. The dome switch only illuminates the bottom part of the cockpit and not the overhead. We need overhead lights to work for night operations. This issue is prevalent in all A319, A320, and 321 variants.

Thanks,

Dennis

As for the sound you mention, it may be the PTU sounds, its a real life type sound on the 320 family.

in regards to the overhead, we fixed this and will be on all.

Many Thanks for your reply Ricardo, and glad to hear the overhead lighting issue has been addressed.

I was able to find the root cause of my sound issue...........FSRealistic had assigned a faulty profile to the 321NEOLR. As soon as I corrected the issue in FSRealistic, life was good again. Another one for the "if this happens, look for this" list. :-)

BTW.....How's that 319CFMSL coming along?? :-)

Cheers.

the 319cfm sl is coming with the updates we are doing to have it on the 320ceo level. We have finished the 320ceo updates, and now working on the 321neo. After that it will be the 319ceo.
