I was wondering if anybody else feels that the airbus A321 seems more difficult to fly than any of the other aircraft. When I try to fly the airplane without autopilot, it's very difficult to control, especially on landing after disengaging autopilot. Also, after takeoff, the plane dips downwards before coming back up. Very strange occurance. is this a bug or the nature of the plane? Thanks!

It is a longer aircraft than most people think, possibly causing you difficulty?
Also if you are slow then try extending flaps, not to be patronising but some people just plain forget.
And dont forget all aircraft are "Control heavy" at low speed.
Thanks for your feedback! Controling the plane manually is nearly impossible, especially on landing. You could be right though, might just be extra sensitive at low speeds. I only ask because it's considerably harder to control than any other airplane in the game. Thanks!
No problem
