Hello All
I have this problem where the A320 FBW would suddenly loose track of its intended course.
So, everything is set up propperly, autopilot on etc. and the plane flies nicely along its intended route.
But then it would suddenly just veer of course. I typically give it a DIR TO to the next waypoint and that would bring it back on track.
But this way I have to basically babysit the plane all the time.
What am I doing wrong here?

This often happens to me, I am used to it, maybe this is a mistake, waiting for the other party to fix it
I’ve started using the stable version because the recent updates on the dev version took away the ability to increase the sim rate which I use a lot as I never had much time these days.
I noticed over the last couple of days that the stable version, maybe on the other versions where the plane would struggle with following the SIDS and STARS especially the more complicated ones but even the more straightforward ones and just simply skip out waypoints which is slightly annoying, as well as the odd glitch of turning around in mid cruise and head back to previous waypoint.
The FBW is incredible and I love it. Hopefully it can be fixed and but possibly its your run of the mill MSFS bug thing.
Sometimes it happens like that. But it depends on how you setup your flight plan too. One thing to make sure is you need to have at least 5% deadzone on all your primary flight controls axis. This is to avoid your hardware feeding the sim with micro-inputs which will override the AP, making you go off course.
There’s also things to check like making sure the assists are all hard/true to life. Then the flight model should still be Modern, and not legacy.
I almost never had an instance where the aircraft lost its course in the middle of a flight. Usually it happens around the time I’m entering a STAR on approach. But even so, I’ve done some things to mitigate that like: I always make a gate-to-gate flight plan with assigned SIDs and STARs and Approaches from the start of the flight. That way there’s no need for the sim to change the flight plan, and it will just follows it all the way.
Even on the occassional path just changes during approach, for some reason while it does look like the aicraft goes off course from the flight path. It’s actually still flying towards the original waypoint, so whenever I came across this, I ignore it and just continues since it’s still going to the same waypoint anyway, even though the line changes and it looks like it’s going off course. I always record my full flight to my YouTube channel, so events like this are always recorded and logged in case someone or myself need to review them.
Our experimental version aims to solve all these issues. Currently being tested widely, we’re hoping for it to be available in development version soon
thanks! Let’s hope it also comes into the stable version soon 
Overall it is just an amazing plane! Thanks again for your great work!
