AvgWhiteGuy Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Is there a way to bypass, skip or otherwise cancel the Checking for Updates and go straight into the sim? The internet speed right now in Shanghai is horrible due to this global health issue and it takes more than 10 minutes to download just the measly 7.1MB updater (2.9.13.13). I DON'T WANT to update anything, I just want to fly!!!!!! Why can't the Cancel button dialog just cancel the updater and move on to the sim instead of exiting DCS? Is there a flag I have missed in the Settings to avoid checking updates?

Rudel_chw Posted March 21, 2020 Posted March 21, 2020 Edit the DCS icon, instead of pointing to DCS_updater.exe edit it to point to DCS.exe ... from now on it wont check updates unless you manually run the updater.
