BleepingComputer.com: Does Wings of Prey simulator game depend on Steam account and Internet?

Does anybody use the Wings of Prey flight simulator game? I want to buy it. But I have a couple questions. I already checked the specs to make sure my PC has enough power to play it.
It says on the package that Internet connection is needed to activate the product. I emailed their support but they responded in Russian.

1. Is the game heavily dependent on Internet to download updates?

1. Do I need to be signed on to the Internet to use the game?

3. Do I need a Steam account to use this software?

I ask because I had a problem with a previous Steam game. I tried installing it for hours and was unsuccessful. I finally returned it for store credit. This is why the Internet and Steam account thing concerns me. My PC is powerful. But I still have dial-up believe it or not.
