You may want to review your statement again.
In fsx, if your machine can handle it, you can run full international flight scheduling online or off. At major airports, this means you always have an aircraft on the runway, several at different stages on the taxiway or apron and many more in the air on approach, requiring the pilot to follow proper taxiway, ifr/vfr, atc, and stack procedures just to get into the air and back down.
Online it goes even further, with folks able to operate as air traffic controllers for large groups of simmers flying real airline schedules from all over the world. While FSX is not as popular on line as it once was, it is still possible to fly online with many more people than the largest il2 server ever had. Many groups are still active, with many real pilots in their ranks, the largest of which is VATSIM with over 250,000 members worldwide, within which, you have many virtual airlines. There may not be as many dogfights as a military sim, (although this too is possible with the right add-ons) there are still more than enough aircraft to interact with should you wish to find them.
