first.....just curious...how many hours do you have...
NOW....take a deep breath..... relax.... fly with your fingertips and only use large power changes when you think you need them. Find out where the POWER is ... every engine series is different.... what i mean is that power may not be increase uniformly with N1...... find those spots..know what power settings will get you close then find them......
Above all RELAX.... if you have a death grip on the yoke because of your frustration you will have a hard time getting the feel down.
Bright side.... if you can fly the sim .... for most people the airplane comes much easier......good luck.
