appreciate the good intentions man, its not obvious;
 
	well, i managed to fly my longest flight in a while after applying your suggested fixes,
 
	but ultimately dcs crashed again after 2 hours in the server
 
	logs attached.
 
	 
 
	btw, in the settings in-game, hot plug was already disabled. dont know if its a tell sign. i did add a line to the config file making sure it was off.
 
	thanks.
