You people are quite incorrect! My plane (US40) will bounce quite nicely on FMS if I do a poor landing. Also who says you have to line up with the runway if you want to practice cross wind landings? Of course you can adjust or change the wind's direction.

Also I can see you don't understand the role of power and pitch in landing. You control the sink rate (vertical rate of descent) with power. If you're sinking too fast add power or too slow, reduce it. Pitch controls airspeed. If the airspeed it too fast, pull up the nose or too slow, lower it. The idea of landing is to have the wing stall just as the wheels touch the ground hopefully somewhere on the runway and not off in the weeds.

There are two ways to land in a crosswind. First turn into the wind with the ailerons and then level the wings. Essentially the aircraft is crabbed into the wind. Just at the point of touch down, align the aircraft with the runway with a turn and then leveling the winds.

The next way is to do an aileron roll into the wind and then kicking the rudder in the opposite direction. Here the airplane is rolled over into the wind but still aligned with the runway. This is called a slip.

Finally, if you flight environment is still too tame dial up the winds and gusts. There is no need to pay attention to the parmeters. Dial in amounts that challenge your ability and confidence.
