will be easyer if u all can post the error report from the log file, there it will show what is making the conflict.

if u have the log file turned on in the config.ini and have the IL-2 Manager installed, IL-2 Manager will do so u will not see the error report in the log file, and even if u un-install il-2 manager it already have re-config so u need to move those files that is call dostats to a backup folder in case they are use for something u need, that was the solution i did to get back the error report to the log file.

this is an example how my log file looks like
