Pulling into Naples and its as wet as a dog here. Doing the after park checklist, the first officer goes, "consider heavy rain"? What's this mean? Couldn't find anything in the manual about it. 

 

It's in the airbus checklist...  if it's raining very hard, you can pull out the heavy rain procedure from the Airbus manuals and run it. (that procedure is not modeled in FS2Crew).

 

GROUND OPERATIONS IN HEAVY RAIN

On ground (Aircraft taxiing or parked) in case of heavy rain, water may enter the avionics ventilation
system via the skin air inlet valve.
 When on ground:
EXTRACT...............................................................................................................................OVRD
L2 This closes the skin air inlets, preventing rainwater from entering the avionics bay.
L1 PACK 1 ON......................................................................................................................... CHECK
PACK 2 ON......................................................................................................................... CHECK
L2 Air conditioning compensates the avionics cooling reduction when the skin air inlet is closed.
L1  If air conditioning not available:
L2 When the aircraft avionics are powered, closing the skin air inlet valve reduces avionics
cooling capability. With air conditioning not available, the reduced cooling is efficient for a
limited period of time, depending on the outside temperature.

Aircraft should not remain powered more than:
‐ OAT ≤ 39 °C (102 °F): no limit
‐ 39 °C (102 °F ) < OAT ≤ 45 °C (113 °F): 3 h
‐ 45 °C (113 °F) < OAT: 30 min
 After takeoff:
EXTRACT............................................................................................................................... AUTO

So when he audibles "consider heavy rain", that's it's just an optional call out? Where we just find the checklist on our own and engage it on our own without anything else from Fs2crew?

One thing I also noticed was that first officer turned the ignition switch from normal to Ignition. So curious as to how much is modeled.

1. I posted the procedure right above your post.

2. He'll do that in heavy rain.
