Modules Deactivated when Offline

[Iberian]

So a thunderstorm knocked out my internet.

 

I decided to fly DCS, started the sim and I received a message saying modules will only be available for some hours and it started a timer.

 

I connected again a few days later, and all my modules were deactivated.

 

Any way to prevent this from happening when I want to sim offline in the future besides getting back online? This is assuming I was not able to click the OFFLINE MODE button on the main menu before I lost the internet connection.
