Rob, from what I see from Your log files You have a lot of DX Error on numeros obj, P-51 textures, Tree Textures, some Obj…
Have You done a complete clean and repair?
I suggest You do it via DCS Updater Utility

Once Installed You need to locate Your DCS ED folder and then You can proceed to clean (first) and repair.
After this delete under Saved Games DCS Openbeta folder the two subfolder fxo and metashader.
Check then if You have any Windows Update (.NET framework over all) and eventually made it.
Last but not the least Your GPU drivers are outdated, here You can download the latest version or the last WHQL

Let me know. :+1:

question, does this also work if I have DCS through STEAM?
found my answer, doesnt work with Steam, think i just bneed to remove it and than reinstall it?

Ah right…You have it under Steam…so the utility didn’t work.
You can only use the tools under Steam so…
I prefer a standalone installation but a lot of people use it under Steam without problems…

no worries, I am now reinstalling the whole thing
cheers and thank you for advice
cheers
