Thank you Mathias. The issue isn't "realism" it is the UN-realism of random aircraft spawning in random places, non-pilots flying on MP and not following rules or even not always doing sensical things, no equivalent of the FAA pulling licenses for failure to follow rules, no controllers controlling the airspace. Not starting on KSFO 28R isn't an operable option either. I got squashed at KNUQ the other day, right as I started my take-off run a heavy spawned on top of me.
