Lucas, it's a long shot but check your ...\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder to see if you've got the conf, confUser and confs.ini files in there. The reason I say this is that I deleted mine to restore the default ones and rather than verifying cache integrity I fired up the game and got the 5 second spinning circle you describe.
Cheers
Goanna
