I’m not aware of that requirement but have never disconnected my network connection as I run ActiveSky and supporting software on another PC.

I believe v6 has this requirement and it’s stated in the requirements. I don’t have v6.

Ray is correct.

V. 6 requires such a connection, v. 5 does not.

Thank you.
Hello GiankMustang,

P3D v5 only requires an internet connection when registering / activating the product but not for everyday use.

P3D6 "Personal" version requires an internet connection when registering / activating the product and also during everyday use.
