In the early 2000s, flight simulation was a different world, dominated by Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight. During this era, a third-party developer, Flightsim Developers (FSD), created a masterpiece that would become a benchmark for quality: the Pilatus PC-6 Porter.

Furthermore, FSD employed a severe online license activation system. Forum archives from 2012 show users battling "Error 1029: Your Porter license could not be located," even after reinstallation. Another user, in 2008, reported that the installer for the ski version would crash upon launching the activation process. For many simmers, the frustration of dealing with the licensing software often overshadowed the joy of flying the aircraft. One user lamented, "I wish I could help you, but this is the exact reason I stopped buying stuff from them... I always had hassles getting stuff I paid for to work" .
