It appears that AI aircraft launching from USS Freedom using the BIS_fnc_AircraftCatapultLaunch script often fail depending on the map and the position of the carrier.
The issue is worse on Malden.

See attached mission (using BIS code from showcase). Wait 10 seconds and the aircraft will crash on takeoff.
I've also attached two videos showing ALiVE using this function with varying success. The same code was used, only difference was the map and position of the carrier. I had success on Altis, but almost always fails on Malden.
Sample vanilla mission
ALIVE example on Malden (fail)
Found a spot on Malden where the sea depth is >100m and aircraft appear to take off ok.
