Thanks vpmedia!
I added the "Instant Log File Output" mod and it was the paratrooper error messege that was the problem.
So I changed the conf.ini settings like this
TexCompress=2 (was 0)
TexCompressARBExt=1 (was 0)
And now I could get a QMB mission to run without hangs or freezes still some errors though.
The end of the Log file looks like this:

The above is without TrackIr, when I have the TrackIR software running I still have problems with freezes and CTD's, but the logfile shows no errors.
The end of the Log file whith TrackIr looks like this:

I also got this error when the TrackIr software was running:
An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x41b837
Function name=(N/A)
Library=E:\Spel\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\il2fb.exe
NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error

#
# The exception above was detected in native code outside the VM
#
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.3.1-b24 compiled mode)
#
I have no problems with TrackIr in DBW or in VP Modpack.
Any ideas what to do next, please?
Cheers
