How can I get my XP10 running again after experiencing hanging software and subsequent crash?

Question

I'm running XP10 on an iMac 2.9 ghz, 8gb ram, 512mb video.  XP10 ran smoothly back in earlier versions but now seems to hang every time I load it.  I've since deleted the software and reloaded everything from scratch and still the same issue results.  I've attached the log file which hopefully provides some answers; I just need assistance with what to do next based on what can be  interpreted from the log.  My email is [email protected].  Thanks for taking the time to shed some light on the issues I'm experiencing and how I might correct them.

X-Plane tends to get a little more powerful and demanding on systems every time it gets a major update. Our minimum system requirements for the most recent version of X-Plane 10 (10.51) actually list a video card with 1 GB of VRAM, while you list only 512 mb in your specs, so your graphics card may not be able to handle the rendering settings.

Check the X-Plane manual for more troubleshooting tips, but you might start with safe mode to see if you can turn the rendering options down to minimums and potentially get flying again.
