I unplugged the Nostromo, Pedals, and both the Warthog stick and throttle. Went into options the only remaining columns were Keyboard, Track IR and Mouse.
Result is the same, DCS crashes to desktop. I tried turning off TrackIR as well.
Modules such as: Mi-8, KA-50, FC3, P-51 all function without an issue.
@Abburro: Yes, when I had the mod installed it was the latest version. Currently I have a "cleanly" repaired version of DCS (all mods moved to backup folder).
