Everything seems to be good on my landing until I touch down . I seem to bounce a couple times and not sure why . My speed break is at 2, flaps 40 speed usually at 130 ish , I disengage autothrottle at about 100 ft : I should 500. 

Any help would be great

Make sure you are not too heavy.

Be on speed, ref +5 kts typically

Try flaps 30 landings, I find (in the game at least) that flaps 40 behaves much differently, especially in the flare, it can often drop even if on speed. Flaps 30 requires very little pitch up to flare, ground effect works and should prevent a hard landing (but not always)

Keep the speed to about 20ft, then cut the throttles, if you always float, try cutting at 50ft, but not higher. 

Autobrake 2 is fine most of the time, level 3 for runways under 6000ft works for me.

Make sure your spoilers are armed.

Use reverse (at least idle) after touchdown.

Watch guides on youtube, I think Jan has guides for IXEG, or watch some of my landings!

A smooth butter landing looks nice but is not always best.

Practise makes perfect
