I was flying the Delta A320 and all was well, until I disconnected the AP to land and the aircraft responded like a gorilla flying an F-16. Very, Very touchy stick. I tried the stock A321 and all was well. I wonder is there a way to change the movement to the same as the A321, maybe in the config. files? I know its not the control settings as they were moved to simple controls and the sliders all the way down to 0 on both acft. Right now the Delta A320 is un-flyable. Seriously even barely moving the stick makes the acft climb or descend by 30 degrees or more

Try reinstalling it then see what happens. I use wilco and highly suggest it but, I went back to try out the fleet A320 and all was well. Do you turn off the three flight computers on the overhead?

That's odd, I've always had the A320 very stubborn in terms of turning, and climbing.

Same here James. Joel, I would try turning off the 3 flight computers and see what happens.

Check your realism settings, too.

yeah, then yesterday I crashed some 4 times trying to land. I had the AP on with AUTOTHROT and APPRCH then turned them off around 1000 like I always do. The plane kept on until the threshold then would do a nose dive to the runway and try to flare by itself. Causing the plane to slam into the runway at 1286 fpm. This was even with the AP off completely, about the 5th time I just left it alone and it landed fine by itself. This was on the world travel A321, not the Delta one.
