Does this problem occur without any wind layer as well?
Since I’m only doing calibration and test flights with the A320 I’m doing these tests at ISA conditions and no wind.
Yes it does. But it’s more difficult when there is no wind as the aircraft is much more stable I think.
Here are 4 videos I found in my records.
The following 2 are when the plane is stable with almost no action on roll axe during approach :
The last 2 following are with the issue occuring :
True to say that the wind was calm with no issues and when it’s windy, the issue occurs but It’s mainly because calm weather doesn’t invole as much command control as windy weather (of course) and if you pay more attention on the first 2 videos, you can observe a little rolling that could be easily counter.

In the last 2 videos there was a significant crosswind…have to try tomorrow…
Btw, the 2nd landing was really nice 
Thank you ^^ (and in the first one I was surprised by the slope profile of the runway, it was my 1st try at the airport xD).
Ok, I will try to make a vid with the issue occuring with clear weather too.
Where do you have your flaps set? All the way down is way to much. Also the 1st video you were at 140knts when you landed, on the last one you were at 160knts. If you have your flaps all the way down when you land thats too much flaps, in the 1st video they should have been set to second position. In the last video you should of had them set in the 2nd postion, but since you were at 160knts you might get away with the 1st position.

Where did you get this info from?
There are two approved landing flap settings IRL, conf 3 and conf full.
AFAIK conf 3 hasn’t been implemented in the MSFS A320 yet.
The only useable flap position is conf full, all the way down.
A good indicator for the correct approach speed is the pitch attitude.
It should be between +2° and +3° on the ILS.

My knowledge as well.
Tonight I did two flights, first approach I did the usual , hand flew from final with autothrottle on. Rolled to the left again badly. Closed throttles and then I had some control again.
Second flight , on final, and this time not only disco the autopilot but I also turned off autothrottle and managed them manually. Perfectly controllable landing
I’ll do a few more but right now it does to have to do with whatever the autothrottle is up to on landing.
Sorry, I don’t like being unpleasant but I feel capital to say that when you don’t master a subject then please don’t spread false and wrong information/statements about it (at least do some relevant research/ask questions to learn more about something). I hope I’m wrong about your knowledge on landing an A320 but as is happens here, you are completely wrong.
PZL104 already said why. You must land at the lowest speed possible which allows you to land correctly and safely i.e. with positive pitch of course and with the possibility to safely go around (correct me if i forget something). So your final flaps set will mostly be full config, however, on some cases like too heavy plane, one engine operations, very high altitude terrain, etc .. where a high thrust is needed to maintain the speed or a higher speed than usual is needed to correctly follow the descent path on final or etc.. and depending on the plane performances, you should choose a lower flaps config (on A320 you have the config 3, on the 747/777 you have flaps 25 and flaps 30 operations) so that you land safer without stressing your engines and/or damaging your flaps and if for some reason you have to abort the landing, then the go around will also be safer and easier.
I already tried with and without autothrottle, the issue occurs the same in both cases.
I really hope they fix it in the next patch, it’s really annoying to land in these conditions, especially when you do a 4-5hrs flight and at the end of the flight the bug occurs and ruins the entire flight experience 
You are more concerned about the bug than about a very bad weather with dangerous wind, gusts, etc ..

I had the same problem. Do you use the ATC when taking a flight?
Because every time i used the ATC the problem appeared.
Since i do not use the ATC the problem doesnt appear anymore.
Its the way Ive been using game/simulators for years, its always worked for me even to this day, I suppose I got the info from trial and error, and then from tutorials on the net. Never run out of runway when landing and until 2020 used to come to a nice slow roll long before i reach the end of the runway. Still works in 2020 except when I hit those magical seams that either rip off my landing gear or catapult me back into the air.
The only time Ive used your method was when flying F-4 or A-6 and putting down on the deck of a Carrier.
Remember Im not a pilot I only play one on PC…
I’m pretty sure that there’s not a single tutorial on the net which teaches such hair-raising techniques.
If you post such tips it would be great if you could include the info that you are only playing a pilot on PC, so that other users can draw their own conclusion.

Now that’s very interesting. I never use ATC in MSFS…
Hmm .. I don’t use ATC neither but if by not using ATC you mean somehow disabling it (I don’t know how to do that) then I didn’t try. I can still have access to the ATC if I want to but I just don’t use it. And the few times I used it, the issue remained.
It would be very mind blowing that the ATC is related to the loss of roll control bug specifical to the A320 xD
If you disable AI traffic and ATC this doesn’t happen.
I only use Vatsim so I have everything disabled and never experienced the problem.
I believe that AI aircraft and other planes might be interfering with the plane when close to the ground.
Interfering specifically with the A320 ? That would be a really weird bug.
How do you disable the ATC ? I’m gonna test that.
I also have acess to the ATC but i also do Not use it
(I don’t ask for start permissions or landing permissions etc.) I tryed out both ways a few hours ago - flying with and without using the ATC - and again as soon as i interact with the ATC the problem appears. The only thing i use is Push Back and yetway connection)
I do the same but the issue is still occuring and you can see that in my previous videos where I don’t use the ATC at all.
Disable AI aircraft and real life traffic.
