Yeah, this will be tricky. As you say, MSFS will frequently CTD all by itself, with no logging output. BetterBravoLights is obviously communicating with MSFS, so if MSFS crashes it can take out BBL too. (MSFS went at 19:48, BBL at 19:49.)
But I can't say with any certainty that MSFS crashed by itself, or that BBL had no part in the crash... but it's likely that MSFS crashed by itself and that BBL was an innocent bystander.
I'm definitely interested that BBL was reported as 'stopped working'. As you can imagine, I do have specific code in there to handle errors from MSFS, and to cope when MSFS CTDs and attempt to shut down BBL automatically in the same way as if MSFS had exited cleanly. It could be that something wasn't quite right with that 'exit on MSFS crash' code.
Let's keep an eye on it. If you're getting regular CTDs we should then try the exact same setup (same community folder entries and other apps etc) but without BBL to see if that changes the frequency of the CTDs. Given the dreadful monitoring and reporting from MSFS that's the best I think we can do right now? I'll take a look at the exit-on-crash code to see if there's anything obvious there.

Describe the bug
I had just flown from PHNG to PHMK and landed. Taxi'd in, and refueled. Started the plane back up, and was talking to ATC for taxi clearance, and had a crash to desktop of MSFS and BetterBravoLights. Please understand that I am not mad, I'm just curious about what happened. Not sure if it was an MSFS thing, a BetterBravoLights thing, or something unrelated. The high number of CTDs and lack of any error logging in MSFS is frustrating. :\
