Help me promote the A320 wing dip on landing

I see a lot of issues. I mostly see workarounds for them (don’t turn off the APU in the A320 now, restart the game to get live weather, VNAV is a bit wonky use VS)

I’m fine with workarounds at this early stage no problem. But the A320 left turn during flare… it doesn’t seem to be talked about a lot. The best part of the flight is setting her down nice. Nothing ruins a beautiful flight more – when you’re about to spread some warm, left-out-over-night butter on a nice piece of fluffy toast and the thing just veers to the left and almost crashes for absolutely no reason. Is everyone having this issue? Can we upvote more in the bug section?

As far as I see, there isn’t a thread in the votes section about it. Perhaps you could put this there or link the one you are thinking of?

I Found one. 4 votes. Lets get it more!

Nice. Thanks!

In my experience it sometimes veers to the left, others to the right, but you are right, it is really annoying

Yes same problem!

Bumpin for the vote

Even the vetical motion is wrong. It’s way too sensitive, i am already at -33% sensitivity but the nose still jumps up and down. Since the autoland lands smoothly i think we can do it too, but finding the right moment and amount of stick input is very difficult and not realistic. Even though autotrim is off below 50 feet doesn’t mean the A320 has to become a diva.

Rudder feels weird too…

I really hope they can fix all these issues.

yep this is a bad bug and is even still present on the flybywire version

A320 need to be fixed or improved.
I noticed when i takeoff, he goes to right like if there is much wind and there is no wind to make it like that. and Auto-pilot i think need to be improved too.

I dont have that issue, always lands very well as I control it, do you land it manually or autopilot?

This bug is killing me.

I hear ya there, the current workaround is to hit the SEC1 button and turn it off when on short final.

Thanks for the tip, I’ll try it out next time I fly.

So after some time with this I’ve learned there’s two solutions. The one listed above turning off SEC1 which essentially turns off Fly By Wire as far as I can tell and prevents the faulty flare mode. Trim it out and fly it like a twitchy Boeing.

I’ve also noticed it only happens under 140Kts give or take. So I’ve been flying with heavier loads hence faster approach speeds and it seems to happen less.

Still, you guys need to like this more so we can bump her up!

Curious is anyone else still getting this bug with the default a320? It has been happening a lot to me but do not see other posts.

Maybe its time for me to finally use the FBW mod, or does this issue affect that mod as well?

100% use the FBW mod…the default aircraft is criminal.

FBW is fantastic.

The default A320 does not exist. Maybe bear with it for playing a landing challenge or so.

it baffles me that people still use the default when they have access to the mod. it’s literally night and day the difference.
