In the sim LGCIU 1 + 2 = No indications on ECAM or Landing gear control panel that the gear is down. All you have is noise and pitch and power to decide if the gear has come down. This is because the sim assumes LGCIU 1 is totally dead if you have LGCIU fault.

Lots of people seem to go around and then complete the landing with unsafe gear QRH. This is totally pointless as if you have completed the gravity gear extension and the aircraft performance tells you the gear is extended and there is no asymmetric handling issues then you are good to land. You are also expecting not to see any gear indications. It would be prudent to brief this first before completing the approach and then trying to decide if the gear has gone down and then going around.
