Try this.... Delete your WASM folder. Load onto an active runway (engines running, ready for takeoff). Sit there for a minute or two and let everything initialize. Go back to Free Flight menu and load your flight as you normally would (at gate, ramp, etc.). Click Fly Now and go about as you normally would. If you are getting the birds eye view of death upon loading at a gate, somebody on this forum suggested the following: On the Free Flight screen, select your airport and departure gate as you normally would Zoom way out.... Click "Fly Now" I had similar problems to what you were describing and this seemed to have taken care of it for me. Report back if this works for you.

I have noticed that I hear it every time when I use my headphones. If I am using my desktop speakers, I cannot hear it.

Not sure if it's the same issue or not but I have had this happen a few times in the Fenix A320. Seems like the brakes are almost "stuck". Tapping the brake pedals a couple of times would take care of it for me and let me be on my way.

I believe that on an Airbus the flaps / slats have to be deployed in order for the logo lights to illuminate. Try that and let us know if this addresses your concern.
