Landing any aircraft is the hardest thing to teach or learn.It involves a lot of visual scanning of the environment so that you can allow for rate of descent crosswind etc.On an airliner the radio altimeter with a voice call out is very helpful to judge the flare.Making sure you stay up-wind of the centerline in a crosswind is purely a manual thing though.I have frequently seen an aircraft track the centerline whilst the pilot is on instruments- he then looks up and the aircraft drifts downwind!All I can say is that experience and repetition are what is required.Playing with time compression in the landing phase is NOT recommended.
