Maybe it is due to my limited brain capacity, but I have found personally that it took five or six good crosswind landings to feel it out, and once I stopped thinking about what laws the airplane was in and just began to feel how the airplane was responding to my inputs I was able to get consistent decent crosswind landings.
Thanks for posting that. I haven't had the time to pull out the flight manual.
I waited until inside 30 feet to apply rudder, the pitch became more like a convetional aircraft as it transitioned to Flare mode while you still made lateral correction via momentary side stick inputs for drift corrections. Lateral is still roll rate in the flare unless I flew a different Bus of the 320 family.
