## A32NX Quick FAQ
81
82
83
+
???+ info "Q: I cannot hear the Flaps or PTU in the cockpit anymore?"
84
+
This change was made due to feedback from IRL A320 pilots who identified the sounds could not be heard from the cockpit IRL as they currently are in the simulator.
82
85
86
+
The PTU has a toggleable switch on the EFB (flyPad) settings that allows you to hear it in the cockpit when it is running.
87
+
88
+
??? info "Q: Why is the overall interior lighting different? (Blue light effect on pedestal and displays)"
89
+
Based on IRL A320 pilot feedback, the blue light effect can only be seen from images. Also, the pedestal should be dark at night to improve pilots' vision at night.
90
+
91
+
??? info "Q: Why does light bleed into the cockpit? Can this be fixed?"
92
+
Unfortunately, no - This is a more profound issue which will require work from the Asobo team.
93
+
94
+
??? info "Q: The new sounds are different from the default ones, why?"
95
+
The default sounds were shared sounds from other default aircraft. The new sounds are accurate and very well-developed based on the A320 and A320neo pilot feedback.
???+ info "Q: What about Performance and System Requirements"
75
+
We have recently provided a system requirements list for the A380X in our recent NOTAM. You can find it in our [Installation Guide](../install/installation.md#estimated-system-requirements-for-a380x).
76
+
77
+
As a baseline please expect to see a framerate reduction of up to -25% compared to the default A32NX. We are working on improving this in the future as the A380X is in an
78
+
alpha state and certain aspects of the model or textures may not be fully optimised for performance.
79
+
80
+
There are other factors than can affect the performance of the A380X in the simulator. Below is a short list.
81
+
82
+
- Using the A380X in conjunction with other addons can potentially have an impact on performance numbers such as:
83
+
- FSLTL
84
+
- Scenaries
85
+
- Etc.
86
+
- Graphical features such as DX12 Beta and Frame Generation
87
+
88
+
??? info "Q: Can I use the foldout keyboard in front of the pilot?"
89
+
90
+
This foldout keyboard (which extends from below the PFD/ND) can't be used currently. In real-life operations, this keyboard can also only be used for OIT input, and OIT is
91
+
not yet implemented in the A380X.
92
+
93
+
??? info "Q: Will there be a performance calculator?"
94
+
95
+
We aim for the outmost accuracy with our projects, and as such we want to hold on making a performance calculator that could potentially provide bad data.
96
+
97
+
We suggest using the (free) simBrief calculator for the time being, as it has been found to provide acceptable outputs for the current configuration of the A380X.
98
+
99
+
??? info "Q: Is the Vertical Situation Display (VSD) functional?"
100
+
101
+
Partially. The VSD will only display the terrain ahead, but currently won't display the flight plan.
102
+
103
+
??? info "Q: Is there a terrain display?"
104
+
105
+
Yes the ND can project a map of the terrain when using SimBridge. You can enable terrain on ND by pressing the `TERR` button on the EFIS panel.
106
+
107
+
??? info "Q: Is there a taxi cam?"
108
+
Due to sim limitations there isn't a taxi cam mode on the instruments available. We will provide preset camera *views* however which you can use as a solution.
109
+
110
+
??? info "Q: Does the EFB on the First Officer (FO) side work?"
111
+
The EFB currently receives touch input but does not have a display. It will be fully operational in the future.
112
+
113
+
??? info "Q: why is the 2nd ISIS blank?"
114
+
The 2nd ISIS has been disabled due to some technical difficulties. It will be re-enabled in the future.
115
+
116
+
??? info "Q: What does the screen between the EFB and the PFD do that's blank?"
117
+
This is called the OIT (Onboard Information Terminal). It will be INOP for the initial release of the A380X.
118
+
119
+
**Can the OIT be used for the EFB?**
120
+
121
+
Currently this is not possible due to size differences. Most likely this won't be used for the EFB but reserved for aircraft related functionality.

76

Based on IRL A320 pilot feedback, the blue light effect can only be seen from images. Also, the pedestal should be dark at night to improve pilots' vision at night.
86
+
Due to simulator limitations it isn't possible to display an accurate weather radar data on the ND at this time.
