Hi. I don't see the crash in your logs. Please attach the latest zip file from your "SavedGames/DCS.../Logs" folder.

You're having several mods issue in your log:

The fastest way to know if one of you mod is causing the trouble is to temporarily rename your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder to "DCS.bak" (do NOT delete it).

DCS will create a fresh one during startup. See if it helps.

SAvedGames/DCSopenbeta.bak-done.

Logged in again and the same thing happened. Attached some data. Thanks for the prompt reply.

How does it crash? Just to desktop without message, oder can you chose to "send report"? The second screnshot on very top with the Dcs is not responding just appears on high load and no "answer" to windows, this is not a crash yet normally, you may just have to wait longer.

@Herk Did the re-installation solved these issues too?
