F-5E-3 random crashing

[Stealth_HR]

Here's hoping someone from Belsimtek can read this and give guidance. I haven't flown the F-5E-3 in a while and decided I wanted to get back into it around the time when the switch to 2.5.0 happened. I've had the issue since the first 2.5.0 open-beta build and it last happened today with the newest build (2.5.0.15365.345).

 

With the first 2.5.0 version, everything worked as long as I was on the ground. From the moment I took off, about 45-60 seconds into the flight DCS as a whole locked up and can only be killed through Task Manager (or Process Explorer, which I use). It used to happen somewhere past the point where I retract the gear and the flaps. Thinking it was a problem with my installation (it was a 1.5.x upgraded and merged to 2.5.0) I reinstalled DCS completely from scratch, but didn't fly the F-5E-3 for a while.

 

Today it happened much later after about fifteen minutes of air-time, after I've done several half-successful bomb passes at parked trucks. I just switched to using guns in M2 mode and made several hits. I'm not sure what my ammo state was and if there was any left. While I was doing a right-hand turn I experienced a game freeze and the only way to exit DCS was, again, to kill the process.

 

I'm copying over the last few minutes of DCS logs if it helps:

The F-5E-3 is stock with no additions (not even liveries). The lockups do not happen in other airplanes.

 

I also created a minidump of the DCS memory, but I would need info on where to upload it as it's a 4.5 GB file.

 

Any help?

Attaching today's crash log. DCS was updated on Wednesday to the latest OpenBeta version 2.5.1.16543.355, crashing persists. Attaching mission file as well if it helps the debug procedure.

 

Attempted repair in the mean time, autoupdate_log file in attachment. Still running no mods and no reshade.
