Autopilot/ILS/GS Problems (A320n & A321 MSFS 2024)

[JayJay3692]

I’ve only been able to do a few successful flights in the new sim, my favourite planes are the airbus family, I’ve flown to a few different airports such as Melbourne Intl, Bahrain, Dubai Sydney, and all have seemed to have a similar problem, all is well during takeoff, climb, and most of the way through cruise, but the first of 2 problems is (I’m unsure if this is a simulator side bug or iniBuilds side) but the plane when following the magenta flight plan seems to start slightly waving left to right slightly and it’s also seen on the Flight Director (even in calm winds this happens), but the second and more bothersome problem is on final approach to aforementioned airports (I haven’t tried any more to see if it’s any more) but every flight so far about 100-200ft from the threshold of the landing runway the GS, LOC, and both autopilots seem to turn off the plane jerks upwards and the throttle goes to 100% this is during CAT 3 Dual ILS landings every time so far, again I’m not sure if this is a bug on the simulator side as when using cursor mode the plane seems to make weird movements and then the AI copilot is stuck on yet there’s no settings at the moment to toggle on/off AI Copilot in cursor mode so it may be that it bugs out and gets stuck on and hence why the plane seems to be slightly fighting “some other force” throughout the flight, also possibly causing the random disconnection of the automatics during final approaches I’m not sure. I just thought it may be helpful to highlight here. Because the automatics and airplane etc. worked perfectly in the 2020 simulator.

Please follow the guidance here to disable AI Assists: 

 

Let us know if you're still experiencing the problems mentioned after. Thanks!

I recently conducted a flight from NZAA to NZWN using the A321LR. While disabling certain assistance features significantly reduced the side-to-side swaying issues, another problem occurred during the approach. At approximately 200-300 feet above the runway threshold, the autopilot unexpectedly disconnected, the thrust advanced to TOGA, and the nose pitched up violently. This incident appeared to coincide with the autoland system transitioning from GS & LOC to LAND on the PFD.

I am uncertain whether this issue is specific to the aircraft or the simulator itself. When entering cursor mode, it seems to activate some form of AI copilot, as it begins to adjust thrust and course—similar to the behavior observed in MSFS 2020. However, to my knowledge, there is currently no option to enable or disable an AI copilot within cursor mode.

The problems initially resurfaced towards the end of the cruise phase, where the aircraft began to exhibit wobbling once again. This behavior seemed to correlate with increased usage of cursor mode, especially when interacting with ATC and preparing for descent. However, there is no visible option in the menus to disable cursor mode functionality, leaving me unclear about the root cause of these issues.

Despite these challenges, I thoroughly enjoy flying this aircraft and look forward to future updates that will hopefully resolve these bugs and enhance the overall experience.

Any updates or information? It is still occurring regardless of time, weather, airport, I even tried changing the DA(H), tried activating the FO’s autopilot button at varying times, the PFD says CAT 3 Dual as it should, turned on all the automatics, made the weather as calm as possible to see if that was the cause, tried everything I can think of, every landing worked flawlessly in the 2020 version of the plane so I have no idea if I’m missing a “new” step to the process or what, I’m just lost at the moment
