Having exactly the same problem. Giant circling over some buildings. Also waited over an hour. no dice. Tried 3x. Visited the forum to report it and found this post.

I wrote a sample python script for config management. Hope this helps! check_user_config.zip

Thank you for a great work and a few comments First of all, I must thank you for this great work. This is exactly what I have been wanted almost for more than 10 years, and I am sure that many other people too. I installed your Liberation Dynamic Campaign last Saturday and I found it really exciting and enjoyable. You just made my home pilot weekends much more fun and valuable! As an experienced python (server) programmer myself, I like to suggest a few things. I know most of these is already in your TODO list, but I am so excited and could not help it ^^; 1. Short Term Improvements 1) Highlighting selected base: When clicking on one of my bases, it would be helpful if the selected base is highlighted (like changing color or draw some box around it). Also, showing what base is selected on the right side of screen (buy/sell screen) may also helps. 2) Implementation of a config file: I agree that using pywin32api is NOT an option. But since many of users will use windows PC as their platform, maybe using INI file as a config file would be a good option and it's fairly cross-platform solution, since python already has an INI file parser. Windows specific variables like "%userprofile%" wont work inside python, so this would make some significant hassle. But this maybe a good way which a user can customize locations of various folders and other options easier. I plan to try various workarounds in my free time. 2. Mid Term Improvements 1) A dedicated launcher: A python friendly launcher that can handle all the housekeeping regarding user and platform specific configurations, In conjunction with 1.-2). 2) An Official TODO List or Project Plan/Milestone You can always receive good suggestions from end users, but I think maintaining and sharing a TODO List from developer's point of view would be a good way to manage a productive community dedicated into the project. (Possibly a dedicated Github wiki page?) 3. (Very) Long Term Improvements 1) Implementing a database engine: At an early stage a log file should be enough (and better for debugging) and maybe it will enough for the whole project lifetime. But something simple and embedded like sqlite can be helpful along the way. 2) Switching to web-based UX Maybe never needed and I really dont know well about running a dedicated DCS Multiplayer server. But if a dedicated MP server exists, maybe users want to remotely manage the application outside of the server box. Again, thank you for the great dynamic campaign engine and I believe this should be THE dynamic campaign for DCS. I hope all of us can help making this project better!

Running multiple torrent client can help a lot. at least it did for me in your DCS folder there is download / torrent folder. there are a lot of .torrent files. copy them to somewhere else download a reliable torrent client if you dont already have one. there are a lot of them. launch the torrent client and add all the .torrent files you have copied earlier the torrent client will start download files. Theoretically, the DCS native torrent client (downloader or whatever) should get the benefit from your own torrent client. If your own torrent client downloaded something, it can give it to the DCS downloader. this will be the most stable and untouched method. If you dont feel it like the two torrent downloaders (one your own, one DCS downloader) are working togheter, just wait until one of them finishes download. If your own torrent client finished downloading, [iMPORTANT] stop and completely exit your dcs downloader. confirming dcs downloader exited, you can copy/move downloaded files to your dcs folder. (/download/torrent somewhere. you will know where to put them once you see them) start dcs downloader (or updater whatever). it will recognize the newly appeared downloaded files. and start resuming from there. This method saved me somewhere 30 hours of download. Note It helps if the torrent client runs in another machine, even if it is in the same NAT / router adjust torrent client settings to get more bandwidth / connection if feels slow

i bought vive for dcs. i am more than satisfied. However, my wife still cannot fly at all because of motion sickness. She really wanted to fly the thing and tried a few good hours in great agony to get accustomed, but failed. so it can be a deciding factor for some people i think.. At least maybe you can try the VR driving game in the nearest game center / arcade. My wife says VR driving induces more motion sickness than dcs. so if you are OK in driving, you may have good chance to be OK in dcs
