Self-explanatory. Unless you want your eardrums blown you wouldn't wanna get anywhere close to the APU in external view.

are you sure? I don't know the real A350 but being physically under an airliner can be extremely loud

Yea I'm quite sure I don't want that at home 😂 Is there a way to tune it down?

Just to raise this issue a bit, the volume is normal-ish in 2024, the issue is with the 2020 version only.

Hi,

Please check again with ver 1.0.8 (scheduled for release today) if you're still experiencing the APU sound being too loud.

Thank you! 

The APU sound in 1.0.8 is too loud. You can hear the APU from the cockpit as if it is not in the rear of the plane.

 

Regards

yes we hear the APU from the cockpit when a forward door is open, disregard if the cockpit door is open or not. That should be fixed

Hello,

Thank you for the feedback. Will pass this along 🙂

FS2020, APU external sound still too loud from outside view, especially if you're near the tail cone.

Even in 1.0.11 if a jetway is connected to the plane and 1L door is open (flight deck door closed) you can still hear the APU prominently. This cannot be right as there are approx. 60 meters between the cockpit and the APU exhaust. 

Still persists in version 1.0.14. Sadly iniBuilds doesn't seem to care about this issue. 

The a350 sounds are currently being re-worked . Btw , this is a350 , apu sound is supposed to be loud and thunderous , you want the a350 apu sound to turn out like the pmdg 777 apu sound ? It sounds worse than the fenix a320 APU sound and now it too is getting a sound re-worked.

As mentioned by xDragon11 above, as per our latest update post for the 350, we mentioned a complete sounds overhaul. I understand it is frustrating but it is also frustrating one our end to read that "we don't care"... 

Thank you 

Still too loud. Is it indeed a 2020 only issue like the missing cabin?
