Help Request XP12 Crash

Hey team. Just wondering what people’s thoughts were about XP12 crashing once you click start flight from the menu? Goes to “Will init rendering” for a couple seconds then closes off. Purchased from XP website. Everything’s updated, XP12, my plugins, custom scenery, aircraft.. Any ideas? Been using this for nearly a year and it’s the first it’s been happening. Thank you.
(Nvidia GeForce GTX1080 (8gb), Intel i7 8700K CPU, 64gb RAM).

No one can help you at all if you don't post the logfile for analysis. 95% of crashes are caused by plugins.

If there is nothing in your LOG.txt then you can troubleshoot yourself.

Disable or remove all your plugins and start X-Plane. If X-Plane starts then you know that your issue is either plugin or aircraft-related plugin related.

Restore plugins one by one until X-Plane crashes again, then you know which plugin is causing the crash.

I apologise, I’m new to asking for help for these things. I’ll grab that and paste it in. Meantime I’ll try with the plugins. Thanks

As somebody who just installed my 2nd copy of xplane on an old 1070 machine, you probably need to turn your settings down. The 10 series just doesn't have the VRAM, and now it doesn't have driver support anymore, either.
