hardly

I figured out the problem. I was clicking the "log out" button at the top of the screen instead of the "exit" text in the bottom right. Still, there is no way to quit the log in screen without starting the game...

None.

I created a short mission just to let my sons watch a battle in 3rd person when I noticed that decals do not fade when an aircraft is in the clouds. (Specifically the Russian Star on the SU-25/T) This was using the F4 key to cycle external aircraft views.

Title says it all. I wanted to update DCS before New Year's but not actually play it so I ran the launcher, updated, and it loaded to the DCS Login screen: Log In - Logs in and runs the game, no problem. Cancel - Does NOT log in and runs the game, no problem. The problem is that there is no QUIT button. Pressing cancel logged me into the game, which I quit, then for some reason the DCS Login screen popped back up every time. I eventually had to ctrl-alt-delete and kill the launcher 3-4 times.
