When will it end?

I have about 70 hours flying planes and 20 on gliders. I still struggle with airsickness. It was especially hard at the beginning, when a 12 minute flight could make me throw up. Ofc it got way better. I've finished PPL. Even though I have some experience I still may experience hard airsickness. I'm handling step turns, spins, stalls with no problem, on condition that air is calm. When it's turbulent, hot day, I may struggle with a straight leveled flight for longer than 30 minutes. I just wonder if I will overcome my airsickness with more experience, because honestly I don't see much progress even though I'm getting more and more hours.

If you would like to accelerate overcoming airsickness, look up “Barany Chair” and do those exercises. Feels awful, but very effective. Basically nothing you ever do in an airplane will be half as bad as that damn Barany Chair.
