3 NOOB questions - SOLVED

[jackd]

1) Quitting DCS with the exit symbol [-> does restart the game, it does not quit. Something wrong?

2) Saving the .lua file for my carefully made adapted profile in options does not work always .... is that a bug?

3) i get a time left of 2 days, while i bought the licenses officially. What's up? Must i reinstall the lot and how? PS i had the 2.5 version already installed and just started it, and downloaded the updates and bought stuff via the normal procedure. It says 2.7. now somewhere.

! ADDED for point 1):  i found it, EXIT at the right side works OK

Thanks

The exit button you're looking at is the off-line log out mode, hence the wi-fi like symbol being blocked, not the quit to desktop exit the game button. If I recall correctly, there's a time limit for how long you can run the game in off-line mode: that's what the counter is, it has nothing to do with the license for the modules you've purchased. Log back in again to reconnect with the ED server essentially, and you'll be good. There is an exit button on the right hand side of your main screen to exit proper, or if you hit escape in game or post mission etc, it will ask if you want to exit to desktop. Hope that helps.

To further clear up - the offline mode does not have a time limit but you have to be logged in beforehand. This will allow you to use your paid content without the internet connection. You'll only be able to go back to online on the same PC and cannot use the account on any other PC in the mean time.

3 days since the last successful connection is the max time you can use paid content without internet connection while not using the offline mode.
