Thanks Agracier,
I have found out that it is something to do (i think) with fabianfreds extra static.ini etc files for UP2.0, if i swap these for original UP2.0 files everything runs fine, i've asked fabianfred to see if he can track down what is wrong here.

It will be the same thing, only in reverse. With fabianfred's static.in, there are probably some missing mod files for objects that are in Fabianfred's static.ini but not in your install.

Il-2 sure is a temperamental game to run, isn't it? One little object missing and she goes into a sulk and won't come out to play ... ha ha
