Steam updated to 1.2.7 and patched. All was fine until yesterday - and today it doesn't want to work at all. I have just finished wiping it off and re-installing it which solved nothing..... I have also looked for DirectX updates but it seems I am up to date. The only thing to note is there have been some windows updates so I am going to check what those are and see if it may be the cause.
----EDIT------
Windows Update looks not to be at fault. Here is the info from when DCS crashes as per windows. This seems to be the same each time.

Note this error code: 00006.862 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './Bazar/World/textures/MQ-9 Raeper_textures' to '/textures/'.
The KEY may be the typo of Raeper vs. Reaper (the filename is spelled correctly) maybe it's looking for the typo and can't find it? I am going to change the file name and see.
