Glad to see another person getting the mods going, especially new HUD and landing gear mod. If you watch some youtube videos of carrier landings, even some of them as off-center as they are wouldve been a "tip over" in FSX. Its mostly made for looks (non-dragster tail-high default Hornet), some function (helps alleviate those minor off-center trap roll-overs, no braking spin-outs), and better on-ground taxiing. IMO. One thing to make sure you do when using the mod settings is to put all the realism sliders to full right, otherwise they dont work as well. If you get the "bumps" while taxiing, make sure to select 10m Mesh Resolution on your Scenery Realism settings. I guess the visual model doesnt like anything more acute. Also, if you have trouble w/cat shots (ie, crashing at the end of the cat shot), make sure you are launching w/full flaps selected (REAL Hornets do this as well, so its not wrong) and you should be able to cat off any carrier, default or Javier's.
Other than that, if you need any help, feel free to PM me and I will talk you thru as much as I possibly can to get you up and running full Navy Ops.
