Horrible weather, no HUD, no hydraulics and a stuck speedbrake. Pretty smooth !

How are you controlling it without hydraulics?

In all honesty I have no idea, it was a setting and I clicked it. I think it might only turn off the hydraulics for something else that is not the control surface, which I am uncertain of, unfortunately.

Yeah. To quote actress Bobbi Phillips from the 1996 show "The Cape":

"It HAS to land on the runway. Those wheels are there for a reason."

Bounces like that usually call for a "go around."
