I found the issue. I'll release a fix tomorrow. If you're having issues with it roll back to v1.7 for now. On my machine it takes about 60 seconds to start. Try clearing out your shader cache in Saved Games\DCS\fxo and \metashaders2. That first run after clearing your shader will take a little longer but it should be good after that. Let me know if it's still a problem.

If you're using a mod manager, and uninstalled 1.8 then it should work. If you just copied it over that won't work. There's folder/file in the mod that need to be removed. \Bazar\shaders\common\samplers11.hlsl needs to be removed.
