Can you re-state your problem. I don't understand.

As you are still having problems mastering Commercial Passenger Jets, searching through your previous Posts, I wonder if you have followed our advice and mastered the art of "flying" on a small 152/172 Cessna Trainer piston prop Aircraft yet?

Once you have done that, the control of other, more complex Aircraft becomes much easier!

After, many, MANY hours of daily practice on my Sim Cessna 150, other more advanced Aircraft became much easier to manage.

Don't forget the use of the "Trim Wheel" to achieve "hands-off", stable, flight!

Yes you should not even be flying this heavy.

I've got 100 hours + alone in just the Cessna 182 RGII excl. flights in many other SEP's & MEP's and I haven't even flown that big bird. Biggest i have flown to date is a 737-700.

Secondly, Airbus uses a Fly-By-Wire system. You should use the system to controll the pitch & not yourself.

I really suggest you get back to basics. This is not a game but a simulation.

I would venture a guess that you're flying with keyboard commands?
Correct?
Spend $25 and get a Sidewinder joy stick-cheap- you'll solve the problem with very little practice.

well, i can fly cessna with no problem. but i will try to train some more with them i guess. And i use a kind of controller which uses pedals and steering wheel. not very realistic i guess but i can use it quite well, it improves my flying compare to keyboards. thanks for the help. and i come to a statement rather long time ago about a sequence of pitch,speed,trotle etc. if anybody knows what should be done first could you please tell me?
