According to the FlyByWire Simulations Discord, there is a workaround for the autopilot banking issue when starting cold and dark. I haven't had a chance to try it out myself, but user reports sound promising.

Workaround:

1. Spawn Cold and Dark

2. when loaded in hit "esc" then "save" and name flight.

3. Immediately hit "load" and select flight.

4. It will reload then proceed as normal flight

That's not a workable solution since you cant change the weather settings after reloading a saved game, for some ridiculously stupid reason.

Sometimes the weather settings will be completely cleared after reloading, your flight will be clear skies, wind 270 at 3 and 29.92 on the altimeter.

I complained repeatedly about this stupidity on here, MS Forums, and Zendesk, but no one seems to care.

Good point. I didn't think of that. It is still quite a limiting situation then.

You could start cold and dark, taxi to the runway, then exit, and then start a brand new flight on the runway.  That way you can change the weather settings then. But it just seems too stupid to have to do that in the first place. Unless a better workaround is discovered I wont be flying the A320.

I wouldn't care about not being able to changing the weather settings in a loaded flight if my dam weather settings conditions would stay the same!!!

Just tested the latest developer version of the A320 Fly-By-Wire (released today, 11/26/20) using a Cold & Dark start, and the autopilot worked for me now, whereas it didn't work before I downloaded their latest version.

There appears to be a potential solution to that. If you do the workaround, then go back to the main menu without shutting down the sim and redo your flight from scratch, the workaround fix seems to remain intact. (I assume that allows the weather settings to be changed.) Apparently, you can do subsequent flights as long as you don't completely shut down the sim.

TEMPORARY SOLUTION:

Switch off FLT CTL: Elac1, Sec1and Fac1 on the left upper side of the overhead panel. 

Strange AP-behavior and banking right and left stops immediately. 

It works, at least, with the latest developer version for the FBW320.

LarsA that worked a320mod dev release stopped rocking back and forth immediately and following course without the offset. Now will it solve the C & D problem with the AP not following the plan from takeoff thats the 64 $ ?

On my way from EDDL to EKCH at the moment and everything works very well for me!

Will you be doing an ILS approach? That's where I ran into trouble.

[LarsA 90]

Yes, give me 20 minutes...! 

[gore54 73]

Yeah same here inflight from kdfw to kphx definately going to do C & D with those controls turned off to see if the autopilot will work from takeoff. I Love curacoa by the way been there 4 times.

[gore54 73]

Im 200 miles out and will be doing an ils approach also

[NightOfDreams 370]

I landed at Denver, ILS 16R this afternoon and it worked fine.

[LarsA 90]

Just arrived: EKCH (Flytampa), 22R, ILS-approach without any problems. Of course, I had to enter the course and the frequency in the MCDU manually (Asobo bug), but the AP was working flawless - the first time after the recent update. If only the VNAV calculations could be fixed...! 

At gore54: Yes, Curacao is a nice place, but when you have to work here, it's not like a tourist..! 😉

[gore54 73]

Just landed also AP worked great with the ILS also.  Im sure living there is different but it is still a gem in the carribean gonna go try C and D
