I've dropped your logs into the DCS log analyser which has the following to say for the crash:

Your DCS has crashed.

Errors

• Memory Timing Issues
  • Remove any overclocking (XMP) from your RAM.
• There is a GPU-related error
  • (Re-)install the latest GPU drivers. Don't overclock your GPU or RAM.

The crash occurred inside dx11backend.dll.

Try running a slow repair for the game including removing extra files.

Delete C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\fxo and metashaders2 and try again.

Next, delete %LOCALAPPDATA%\TEMP\DCS and try again.

Next, try renaming Saved Games\DCS to DCS.old and try again.

 

In addition to this you only have 32Gb of RAM so you can create a custom page file to give you more headroom and reduce the chance of out-of-memory problems. Create a custom page file, just a single one on your fastest SSD, remove any system managed ones. Create it with Initial and Max values of 32768, click Set, Apply, and restart your PC.

Additional tuning tips:

• Turn down Anisotropic Filtering.
• Set Water to Medium or Low.
• Enable Full Screen mode.
• Set Preload Radius to max. 60000. You currently have 150000 set for your preload radius which is really high for your RAM and you will be unnecessarily loading in a bunch of textures and other items when not required and may be redundant.

Advice for Windows if not already done. Note that these are general items to help with performance and not to resolve your issue:

• Disable Game Mode
• Disable Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling
• Disable Core Isolation
• Disable Core Parking
