Hi, every time I try to launch off the alpha carrier v.10, as soon as the jet hits the end of the deck, it crashes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Well, you could disable "detect crashes and damage" in the realism section of the settings.

Yes, I have tried doing that, but it does it's usual routine where it just replaces the aircraft several hundred feet in the air. I'm trying to find a way to get it to let me launch without crashing me or jumping me straight up. Worst thing is, it's worked in the past and I'm not sure why it isn't now.

Is your launch bar down?If so:
This might sound odd.....Try pulling up instead of just being launched.I had the same problem with one carrier or another.I think it was only with Xpack planes though.Don't quote me on that

You mean the Captain Sim Xload pack?
I've had no problems like what you're describing with that pack.

I said don't quote me
Don't remember the specifics.Just remember that for some rason on some carriers the launch bar hits something at the end of the deck.Pulling up helps.You could also try launching with "arrcab" and the launch bar up, instead of the Carriers catapult.Not as realistic but,it will at least tell you if your problem is the launch bar or not.

Are you possibly pulling back on the stick before you are off the deck?

Pulling back on the stick could cause you to crash, make sure you are clear of the deck before you pull up.

Also make sure you do not apply rudder movements. Keep the stick straight and in place.
