I can confirm that the a320 acts like it doesn’t want to fly on rotate and lift off.  It’s not trying to kill me on the landings tho.

Same here. It's almost as if the calculated rotate speed is much too low. 

Additionally, I still can't get the plane to accelerate to 250 kts at thrust reduction altitude in managed mode and have to manually dial in 250 or it will keep climbing until stall. The plane will then accelerate past 250, initiate an 8000 fpm climb to compensate, over compensate, drop below 250 kts and then initiate a descent to get back up to 250 kts.  It will finally work itself out at some point.

These guys are really doing great things with the mod but unless the flight model and auto pilot logic are sorted either by Asobo or the mod team (if possible), I just can't get myself to use non-standard Airbus technique to get around these issues.

The only way is to bring flaps up and it will accelerate to 250 in managed mode. It's not correct though but it works. The autopilot and FBW systems needs to go back to the drawing board. 

I have no words other than to say - you're all geniuses.

Wonderful to be able to do the Fire Checks on Ground Power, kick the APU in, watch the IRS count-down timer, and then power up the donks.

You're so very clever and I absolutely appreciate the contribution to this wonderful sim that you guys and gals have made. 

What an incredible project that has hurled FSL and PMDG thoroughly in to the long grass where, quite frankly, they belong.

Thank you so much. What a truly wonderful collective you are.

A lovely, absolutely on the numbers flight from Rome to Brindisi tonight. What a joy!

Yea, the automation isn't so automated yet. It's too aggressive and lags. Hopefully they focus on this stuff as we report it. I need to drop in some detailed reports over there.

Where do we get the update?

I've flown many airbuses in the other sims so I reckon I know the score.  However it seems this bird goes belly up on approach for me, roughly 10 nose up fully configured.  Built the flight plan using simbrief and tried to input correct fuel/weights etc.  Its like the plane just wants to kill me on final.  I'm sure its maybe something I'm doing wrong.  Great work updating this so far but for now, I'm jumping back in my mooney!

You have a controller issue. Calibrate, review your keyboard and controller assignments, etc.

I'd say 30%-40% of people reporting problems in MSFS are down to the ridiculously large amount of Keyboard and default Controller assignments set by our brothers at ASOBO in their naivety. Bless them.

Delete the lot and do a scratch build of your own Keyboard and Controller assignments and your Sim will go Happy.

Hmm Im sorry, @Will Fly For Cheese , but I'm not convinced. My other (GA/props) airplanes fly well with my setup, but the airbus (and the 787 and the 748) all get wonky in the flare. They either dont want to flare (like you have to full forward on the stick to get her towards the ground, even at near stall speeds), or the left or the right wing just banks uncommanded (specific to the a320 i believe). The props are mostly fine, but the jets are like they get into this sort of regime change in the flare mode that just makes the plane super sensitive to my inputs to the degree that it feels like the plane is attached on strings on a stick and I'm throwing the stick around and the airplane is dangling in end of it - or it becomes super INsensitive and doesn't listen to my inputs. All of this can happen without me touching the sensitivities for my controllers (which none of us can do right now anyway since ASOBO removed that menu item). I haven't touched my sensitivites since the first week after launch.

 

Andreas, unlike all the other airframes in MSFS - don't Trim on APP. 

Work the Sidestick - and let it do its work - don't be in a hurry to see the result - it's many tons of metal - and it takes time for it to react to your inputs.

It flies different to everything else from the 152 up to the 747.

If flying the 737 is like playing a game of Snap - flying the Airbus is like playing a game of Chess. You have got to be SO ahead of the aircraft. Then it's all good.

Thanks for advice but my controllers are just fine.  Every other aircraft I frequent is absolutely fine.

Yeah, I know, but I never trim the airbus. It autotrims, and you're not supposed to do it manually. 🙂

Only exception is that you are supposed to set an initial trim for take off.

Yep, typically .8 up

Woah woah woah. It adds some more ECAM screens and fixes the lighting. This thing is maybe 1.25% the simulated fidelity and accuracy of the FSLABs bus, lol.
