The file selection windows don't show, when Aero is disabled. I think that's your problem.

What tintifaxl said: IL2 CoD uses operating systems save/load window forms, and if you disabled one of the visual themes or desktop composition (can't remember exactly which of them), you can't use those anymore.

Bang! Spot on thanks tintifaxl and addonys.

Launcher.exe had both 'Disable visual themes' and 'Disable desktop composition' checked under <right-click> -> properties ->compatibility tab. I unchecked 'em and problem soved. Not sure how that happened!?!?!

Thanks all for the quick responses.

Cheers

those settings are for optimization.

enable them to save whatever settings you have to save, then switch them on again.

@Blackdog_kt - I didin't have aero / desktop composition enabled globally only for Launcher.exe, so yes, unchecking those options fixed it.

@albx - are you running the game as administrator?

@adonys - really? does it make much of a performance difference?

yes, of course. It let me choose the path and the filename, but the file is not created.

Yeah guess so.
I didn't notice any performance decrease unchecking those boxes.

@albx - what are your specs?
