Is the Black Box A340 worth it?

Ok well if its an airbus thing, then the AS and FSL would be just as difficult to land and Im pretty sure they have their FDE correct as can be for a desktop sim since many fly it and dont complain about the flare.  

Im no expert, and dont have super slick landings, but they are pretty decent landings, for all my aircraft most of the time except for this one aircraft.  

I'm not trying to defend the developer, merely trying to interpret the developers' response. This is not about your ability to land a plane in the sim - rather it's that heavy Airbusses apparently are supposed to be landed differently from other planes you might own in the sim. This being that you initiate a gentle flare, then release pressure on the stick, and smoothly let the airplane settle on the ground. It's the releasing of the pressure on the stick that people usually don't do, and what's causing the bounce. Again, that's what the developers say - I personally have no idea who is right or wrong here. But, I do think the developers are going to look into it to mitigate the bounce. Or something like that.

I agree with Benjamin's observations. I found that if you do an AUTOLAND the aircraft performs absolutely as it should. So pressure of the stick and it works. I must admit I still have problems with it but is getting better.

For me, right now it is the best available A340 for Prepar
