Your experience seems to be one-sided.
Just remember: Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history!

I did mention Coops, didn't I?

even on a dogfight server is more than dogfight!

What robtek said.

Try getting players to fly historical planesets which aren't overloaded with fighters or fighter-bombers in historical settings and ... you'll see them mewing and yammering about fairness and fun and all that mopek. Online is bugged with this and that is why offline is so damned important. Playing against humans is grossly overrated because of human egos that it ain't funny anymore.

IMHO this is the main misconception:

MP is important because you can play WITH other players, not because you can play AGAINST them

1. Imagine that ..... complaining about fairness and fun .... how ridiculous \

2. ... Empirical evidence contradicts YOUR analysis completely and utterly.

3. Your last point says more about you and your emotional problems than it does about the multiplayer experience.

* The multiplayer experience is what gaming is all about. 10 times more so for a Flight Sim. Fortunately it seems this has finally been realized.

** As a famous professor once said 'The future is the Net'

Amen brother. Thread about Oleg's lastest Friday posting turns into a chest-beating, ego fest.
