Yup, lots of campaigns, and great ones at that

If you want some simple tips - well, firstly, watch the training tracks, they have good tips!

One rule I learned and that I think changed my thinking about landings a lot, especially on carriers - when you're on final approach, try to reverse what you might naturally be thinking about controlling speed and altitude: control your altitude by raising and lowering thrust and control your speed by pitching up or down slightly. It sounds weird but it really works. It's actually a lot more complex than that in practice, but once you wrap your mind around how that works it helps develop a feel for flying the thing at close to minimum speed. And landing too

I actually rarely screw up carrier landings these days. Of course I rarely fly these days too
(but I don't find it all that problematic when I do fly - just challenging!)
