Just how do you "switch FCS modes"? You shouldn't need to DO any thing. It's all automatic.
All you need to is put the gear down, and set flaps full, and the FCS does the rest. Voila! PA mode. Are you doing something else?
Are you using the latest HornetFCS.dll that came with the v16.1? Did you let the autoinstaller install the correct C++ Redistributable 2015 for you? Do you see a FCS FAIL message in the HUD, or on a green banner at the top of the screen? Other than perhaps a brief flash as the plane is loading in? Are you actuating the Spin Recovery switch, or the A-A/A-G switch, either on the HUD Control Panel, or on the main control panel? Are you leaving the Master Arm switch on?
I'm just trying to solve the riddle here, as I fly the v16.1 very frequently, with no troubles like this at all. As far as I can tell, the transition from UA to PA mode is smooth as silk, and completely seamless. The controlability of the plane never changes, from mode to mode. Even going from UA to PA and then back to UA again, like during a go-around, or after FCLP practice, flying back to Whidbey, for example.
I fly over to Coupeville NOLF from Whidbey, thus UA mode, do bounces until my fuel is low, thus I'm in PA mode, and then I fly back to Whidbey, thus in UA mode, then do an overhead recovery at Whidbey, thus switching from UA to PA once again. I never once, during all those transitions, do I experience what you say you are.
I'd just like to try and help you solve this little mystery...

When switching FCS modes the plane shoots up or down with little control. It's extremely hard to control on normal landings and carrier landings. Its probably my system but it to erratic for me.
Thus I've experimented with what FA-18 I have in my library and come to a conclusion that the best flying FA-18 if have is Sludge Hornet 2.0.
My question is what version of the Hornet Textures are compatible?

Since the SLUDGE utilizes the default F/A-18 3D model that was included with Acceleration/Gold, any textures that were made for that version should be compatible.
Might want to try Simviation first...

Thanks Jimi.

I'm sure it's something on my end.
PhantomTweak:
Ok :)
Just trying to lend a hand. If I can do anything to help give a shout. I am certainly no pro at this, but if I can help...

After reading your reply I went back and totally removed all of the my files concerning Jimmi's f18, all version. I saw his post were he had a 17.1 test f18. Downloaded it, installed it manually. I deleted all my trusted from my cfg file. Fired up fsx and made several passes at knuw (lived there 61 to 64, navy brat), several passes on carrier landings and take offs at each. Steady as a rock. Look forward to the 17. Release.
Ps I really do appreciate everyone's help and work you put into these jets. Flying is a release from my day to day fight with Parkinson's and my new battle with prostrate cancer.
