I am using both Real Flight 5.5 and Clearview. I was accomplishing landings within a couple hours or so. I did not really keep track. However, I stuck to the boring high wing trainers and did endless number of touch and go's always trying to duplicate an actual landing pattern. Once you are able to land regularly then try the warbirds. If you are flying warbirdsto start with, they be real intimidating, for sure.

Keep at it and don't get discouraged. It is cheaper to crash digital planes than real planes - I know that for sure.

Good luck and keep at it.
