Offline playing

[Fukitsuna]

Hi everyone;

Is there a way to play Dcs (I'm on 2.7 open beta) without having internet connection? 

I'm having a major issue with my home internet network and I'm not able to acces the internet with the Pc I use to play Dcs with. 

Thanks in advance.

For obvious reasons you will need internet access at least once when you startup DCS. You can read more about it here (written for 2.5 version, but I'm sure that hasn't changed for 2.7):

Do you maybe have a phone with internet connection you could temporarily use as a hotspot? Once you started up (activated) DCS, you should be able to switch over to offline mode.

PCs usually don't have WiFi's but most people have Internet on their cell phone. You can use tethered mode to use the mobile connection for the PC just for the moment of starting DCS. Either use Offline mode then or do that once every 3 days.
