I have the A320 payware series from PSS (A319, A320, A321).

I like them all but I can't quite decide what's the difference between them.

They all look the same,  and aside from a different weight and power they feel the same.

Do you guys fly any of these? What do you think of them?

Do you have a favorite?

My favorite out of those 3 is the A320 since many airlines I know of fly the A320...the A321 was pretty much a flop for Airbus..but my favorite Airbus is probally the A330...the A340's engines are to small and on the A340-600 the engines are to big and 2 to many engines

Yeah, they aim to keep all the A320 series flight characteristics the same (while they carry different numbers of passengers and so are different lengths) making them more economical for pilots to train and switch between the different types.

I have FS9.

as far as I can tell it is. I don't know much about the FMC since I use FS Navigator for that, but all visible panels work just fine.

I can try and play with the FMC and let you know what I find out. I tried a while ago and I seem to remember you couldn't enter a flight plan manually but it would pick it up from the FS flight planner.

I recently aquired the 737 NG with some of my Christmas money. It's geat.  I can usually only buy add-ons once or twice a year with birthday and Christmas money from my parents.  My wife thinks that should be enough but she alway buys new novels to read.  I should put my foot down.  I cut my advanced airliner sim training on 767 PIC followed by PSS 747/777 package.  I also have the 742 RFP.  I would like a regional jet though and am considering the ERJ-145. I hear its a lot more distinctive and complete than the CRJ.  Would like a T-prop commuter also.  I use the fanda dash-8 for that but it's a frame hog because of the sound set and the bitmaps which are formatted to look best at very high res.  Therefor, the Flight 1 ATR is under consideration as well as the US version of the Eurowings collection.  I really like flying the oldies though and using CIVA and math.  I spend a lot of time flying the George Carty 707, HJG DC-8's and the Richard Probst 727-200.  I also have a great L-1011 with a fully functional everything.  It's called the OM Wings L-1011.  I think it went payware but I have a beta which for a limited time he was allowing download for free.  It's a good one though. The entire overhead and everything on the "plumbers" panel is fully functional.  No VC though which I don't care about anyway.  So, lacking an auto-throttle is no big issue to me because I am very used to actually having my hands my yoke, throttle, and feet on the pedals and actually FLYING the aircraft.  I even do IFR minimum landings by hand except I do let my auto-pilot take care of my track and I handle the glide slope with throttle, flaps and trim.

Don't get divorced over FS..many pilots get divorced orer aviation which is just plane dumb...always remeber that

As far as the CRJ for some reason many people have problems but me...the CRJ was my first aircraft I really liked in "real life"

but always remember....the CRJ above FL20  is a very slow climber. and It has no A/T

Also I have the ATR from Flight 1 very sophisticated (to me) alot of buttons ( something a pilot should never say )

Actually, I have the 330/340 package and comparing that to how the real aircraft is programmed to behave, I can assure you that the PSS airbus is not realistic.

The FBW system is simply too advanced to program in FS 

No, I'm not an Airbus captain 
But I have the real Airbus A320 manual and my instructor is an A330 captain so I have already discussed the flaws of PSS airbus series with him.

The Airbus is (usually) flown in Normal law, which covers 3-axis control, flight envelope protection and load alleviation.
it has 3 modes
Ground
Flight
Flare

Now here's the breakdown:
The Flare mode is not modelled.
You need rudder pedal feedback for turn coordination functions
Pitch attitude protection is non existant, same with Bank angle and Flight Augmentation (Yaw)
Conclusion: It's not really an airbus you are flying 

Now I have perfect understanding of the task the programmers have to face. One of my friend's is a beta tester for PMDG so I know how hard it is to develop these things.
I actually enjoy PSS aircrafts aswell. 
But to call the PSS A330/340 series för realistic, that is false marketing indeed.
