When landing an A319 I use Auto Pilot to line up on final and manage the speed. Just prior to touchdown, I disengage the AP; draw throttles back to zero; have full flaps engaged, but my landing rate is always high--well over acceptable by Fight Simulator. Can you help me understand best way to manage my landing speed.

Try learning ILS landings. It's a great way of landing the larger aircraft in FS2004 and FSX. Once you master the technique, you will never go back to manual approach to landings!

Sorry, I didn't really answer your question. When I make an ILS approach with the Airbus A321, I settle in with the final programmed approach speed of 143 Knots, which on the FSX default Airbus, ends up being around 145-146 KIAS. Seems to work well with my approaches.
Good luck with the Airbus line of aircraft. They can be very difficult to master, unlike the Boeing aircraft!
Happy flying! - Rick
