Do you have to have your firewall disabled when flying?

I was wondering something along similar lines to that.. is any validation required other than when the installation is made (on startup for instance).

Because, if you have completed the above, you would know that a PMDG product is a simulation all in itself!!  They have managed to simulate real-life airliners about as realistically as possible with todays PC technology.  It's not joke...after learning the 737s by PMDG and flying them almost daily in my flight sim, I am confident to say, if I was given the chance to fly a real 737, or more practically a full-motion 737 simulator (I have visited them, played in them, but have not yet had the chance to fly a 737 simulator), I would be able to operate it from start-up to shut-down and get from say SJC to SAN.  It is THAT real!  I have talked to many Southwest Airlines pilots, played around in real 737 cockpits, shown a pilot that I can program a real FMC by actually doing so, had the opportunity to jump seat on a ferry flight giving me a chance to see it all in action before my eyes and I can tell you, I sure as hell know my way around that cockpit and know exactly what the pilot is doing during the flight...all because I have tinkered with a $50 add-on.  That is damn impressive in my opinion.  PMDG got my $55 today, and they damn well deserve it.  I have taken her for one spin, and I absolutely love it.  FS2004 is not the same without PMDG products.  I don't do much else with the sim.  If I'm playing FS2004, I am using a PMDG aircraft.  Therefore to me, PMDG is the name of this sim.

Fifty-five dollars for that level of realism and attention to detail in just what I saw in the link is a double dirt cheap bargain and a half! Can you imagine the millions of dollars that software cost to develop and bring to us-- and for just fifty-five bucks?? I am an FS2002 no-talent clod; I'll probably never amass any talent for that game, let alone FS2004 and PMDG's 747. But if I did, I'd buy it just for the enjoyment of trying to learn it while grooving on the graphics. Awesome! How far we have come from FS1.0 just 20 years ago...
