I learnt xwind landing on pistons, then adjusted to turboprops and then jets. They don't bother me in the slightest in the aircraft.

However, maybe it's just me, but I have yet to jump in a sim in the last 10 years that can replicate a realistic landing, whether xwind or not. Not sure whether it is the visuals or the lack of "seat of the pants" feedback, or something with the control fidelity, but in my opinion it has very little bearing to how I land the real thing.
