What I do on my PC before starting "onealex" mod

[K-61]

I have recently downloaded the "onealex" mod and as a veteran player of GWX Gold it is fairly famliar, with a few new bonus bits I like.

I wish to tell others so they do not have my problem. Through much play testing I have learned that for me to play this game and not have any subsequent play problems, I must unplug my RJ-45 ethernet cable from my machine, then disable my Norton Antivirus and disable my Norton Firewall. If I do not, the next time I go to the play the game, I cannot load and I get a message about some "sky" file being corrupted. Copying over a clean copy does not fix it. I can only conclude that Norton hates this game.

Also, Norton will not let me open the mods section of Subsim, even when I tell it to ignore the warning. This is when using Microsoft Edge. If I use the Chrome browser it lets me in. Very strange.

Just wished to share this to prevent others from having the same problem.
