hello. just before your crash you get this line
2024-04-17 18:45:50.955 ALERT   EDCORE (8784): Out of memory in ed_malloc for 5592592 bytes.
you should increase your pagefile since you have only 32 GB of RAM.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/increase-page-file-size-virtual-memory-windows
also you can lower your preload radius within DCS options.

hello. when in options on whatever AC you have shown, doubleclick on the joystick column header. then type whatever you want. then save.

hello. if you are using a quest headset, this is your issue. planned DCS patch tomorrow will fix.

hello. this could be an issue within your saved games folder. one never has to reinstall DCS. running a repair will essentially reinstall anything amiss. what VR headset do you use?
 

hello. the last line of your log
2024-04-03 11:16:09.788 INFO    APP (Main): application shutdown
did you actually initiate the application shutdown of DCS? there is nothing outwardly odd in your dcs.log.
i think this is your AV blocking? can you add exceptions to your AV software?
also look here.
good luck.

there is a separate saved games folder for each install of DCS. even though there is only one version, you originally had two versions. so there is some difference within the two saved games folders.
unless you plan to use an older release before they were unified, just use the version that works.
if you really want to fix it then rename the broken CONFIG folder and copy the working CONFIG folder to the where the broken install is in saved games.

since training missions are in the main DCS folder, a repair should get them back. you may want to remove unofficial mods too.
however be aware that true training missions are written for the caucus map. the missions are also written for AC and not terrain per se. the other missions you mention are non-training missions, meaning unaided by a tutorial.

importing yes! i renamed my LUAs but import likely works fine. renaming the LUAs is how i did it.
the repair process is sufficient to get the game folder healthy. there is little need for anyone to reinstall. many times users do this only to find that either windows is causing problems. or something in Saved Games. i do not believe is much in the registry that needs manual changing. but repair will do this.

are you having an issue with starting DCS or crashing while in DCS? the errors you seeing look to me as you suspect already. those are errors generated by the MOD. since DCS updated the MOD likely needs to be updated to work with latest DCS version.

hello. post the suspect mission. others can try it to see and share their results.
MT will eventually be the only version. so i suggest using it and posting problems you encounter. thanks @rob10 for typo!
post your current specs. we can see if anything is amiss as far as below system requirements for DCS.
see answer for 2.
generally, in my experience, it is best to get two exact matches of DIMMS / SODIMMS. so two compatible dell or crucial that are the same. RAM does do good. the more the better. i have an alienware from early 2021. i bit the bullet and got 128 GB. i do not have memory related issues. of course i could have went with overkill. but i had the money. i also have 32 GB pagefile.
 
for the rant 😉 see answer 2. and also add exceptions to your AV software. there is lots of other tidbits but lets go slow.
see this post
  
 
always come back for help. i surely will if i can. if you keep at it you will love DCS again.
good luck.

as i suspected. the effect is caused by TAA or FSR or a combination of both. visual artefacts but better performance. try DLAA instead. FSR with TAA will cause ghosting.
have a look at this post. 
 

hello. i can try to help. some questions.
have you ever been able to join MP server?
have you removed all unofficial mods?
have you tried troubleshooting steps to rename \saved games\dcs(openbeta) folder?
have you ever run a repair? best to do this after step above.
 

hello. try two things. one is rename your saved games folder. A-4C is still being used. do not delete. your controller bindings are there.
also devices are being unplugged.
 

hello. see if this post helps.
 

right click and properties on each icon.
default DCS that runs the update first.
"C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe"
MT DCS is straight to MT.
"C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin-mt\DCS.exe"
note you can change the icons to others if you wish. click the "change icon" button while in properties.
my MT is black and orange letters.

just before the dump, i see this line
 

have a look here
 

@Brett_Jett - is it possible you have some overclocking going on? see if you can remove or even lower the settings on the overclocking.

hello. your dcs is crashing because of the following error
 see these tips from Flappie la magnifique aide 🙂
 

hello. page file should be like the following:
null
the hotplug setting is in the game options

from the logs you can search for the guid and figure it out what device is disconnecting. looks to me it is VR headset (??)

hello. neither log indicates a crash. the logs just end. are you getting any messages outside of DCS?
i do see these lines in the log that could be the cause.
this indicates you have USB disconnect / connect. are you physically doing this? see this post
 

roger that. good luck. come back if you need further help.

@jaydee i did this a couple years ago and made a PDF of part of the process. especially what @Hiob stated about controls. 
https://pcwiseman.com/downloads_files/DCS_New_Computer.pdf

on the release of Sinai there was some trouble with logins, authorizations, etc. this .1 version fixed those issues.

hello again. honestly i do not think one ever has to reinstall DCS. the repair function normally takes care of getting it back to vanilla. try this. find your saved games folder. it may not be where you think it is. go to explorer and in the URL box type %USERPROFILE%. this will open up your user folder. see if there is a saved games there. also you can see by right clicking on saved games and looking under LOCATION tab. when found go to it and rename the DCS folder. when you start DCS it will recreate. run DCS like normal and see if it will open for you. keep in mind controls will be missing.
