This is not only noticeable when flying, but also when parked and it's raining. By the way, it's exactly like when the regular Asobo A320 is taking off or lading and the landing gear is actively being used, when the external sound become louder.

Is there any plan to work on this?

Thanks!

Will take a look and revise if needed.

Maybe this has something to do with the fact of external lights coming from ground vehicles when parked, as an example, being visible inside the cockpit view?

In other words, it seems the cockpit isn't completely enclosed, different from passengers cabin, so that external sounds become so louder when compared to other aircrafts, like the default A320 and others.

Another example, the buttons, switches and auto pilot sounds almost can't be heard too, so definitely sounds are unbalanced.

Its completely unrelated to 'being closed'. When you are on the cockpit you are on the cockpit and listen to sounds as if you are inside the cockpit.

Its more of balancing certain sounds. Will talk with our sound developer and see if we can lower the engine sounds.

Thanks so much, Ricardo! It would be pretty much appreciated.

As I said, some sounds are so loud that even other cockpit sounds and ATC are mostly "suppressed" most of the time.
