resolved Bizarre Issue - Unable to Select Units / Error "You Are Using Historical Mode"

[CommandT]

Hi folks,

It all started after I deleted the "fxo" and "metashaders2" folders which I still do once in a while and this has never caused me any issues but now I have some ridiculous problems.

First thing I've noticed is when going to the WW2 Marianas Map and trying to select a helicopter I get an error message saying "There are no units available for this criteria. You Are Using Historical Mode". So I changed the mission date to 2020 instead of 1944 but then I still get strange things happening like a huge portion of units being unavailable. For example I can select a helicopter but lots of the helicopters which I have are missing from the list in the mission editor. If I however load up an old mission - the units do load correctly, even if they are not shown in the unit drop down menu. Same story with everything else like ships - it's like they are missing but they do exist if you load up an old mission. 

I repaired DCS - no effect. Removed all mods - no effect. Clean up - no effect.

Struggling for ideas here...

I've attached the Export.lua and the dcs.log files. Any help appreciated! Thank you!
