I noticed when i bought this package that the handling on the A321 is pretty rubbish compared to the other two, so i was wondering if anyone of simv has the same problem with controlling this bird. Its a great package but bearly unflyable. Thanks for any help given,

I never had any problems...what do you mean by the handling was rubbish, is it only at certain times, or all the time...does the aircraft drift?

Only the A321 seems to handle rather rubbish, its just when taking off, the rudder is strange because im using a joystick, i have to push the rudder way back, and i mean way back for about 10secs after take off, then i can sort the rudder out. Also when inflight i find it impossible to turn sometimes with the joystick, e.g turn left or right. My joystick is working perfectly fine, its just on the A321 in the package, and SOMEtimes on the others on the PSS package.
Any other help much appreciated.

i had the same problem with a the A3XX's and it could be a number of different things. One, make sure you are using +2.0 pitch, the standard for takeoff. If that doesn't work, go into airbus\pssab-pro\panel\panel.cfg. Open the panel with notepad and look for this section.
(Window08) <<==should be square brackets
Background_color=16,16,16
size_mm=2,2
position=7
visible=1
ident=59

make sure the line

size_mm=2,2

that should do it

I found the planes to be, as with the real thing, very hard to fly manually...

Well, a friend of mine, who is a pilot for Air Canada, says that most Airbus's are touchy aircraft, meaning not too much input into the control stick is needed to get the aircraft moving in the direction you want it to. I guess this may translate to "difficult" flying in FS but in the real world the plane is apparently pretty nice to fly.

Yes Airbus aircraft are supposd to work with as little human work as possible to save on the pilots fatigue.

Yeah but a lot of pilots choose to hand fly the aircraft when VFR conditions exist.
