I went from dx12 (Beta) to dx11 because of the new A380. Since then, I get a very weird crash report. I havent overclocked my GPU or did anything else. Is there a way to change the directX version outside of the game ond how do I fix this?

To enable DX12 without launching MSFS, you need to edit the usercfg.opt file. Find the line that says PreferD3D12 0 and change 0 to 1.
After making this change, save the file.
The DXGI_ERROR can be caused by software like MSI Afterburner, Nvidia GeForce Experience and Nvidia filters. If you have an Nvidia graphics card, download the latest driver. Uninstall the old driver in safe mode using the free program DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller). After restarting your system, install the new driver.

Did you try starting the sim in Safe Mode?
That will eliminate loading of your addons, which may be the reason you can’t get into the sim.
