There are instant gratification (dogfight) servers available in many sims. DSC is unique because of the realism that requires one to start their aircraft, taxi to the active, take off, perform the mission and land. Skill in flying is all of these things and more such as formations as well as performing combat manuvers. There will never be airstarts in full real servers. It makes no sense.
Back to the original posters question about MP, In our squad that flys allot of CloD and some BoS, it's mostly about two things.
1. the LOD or spotting problem currently in DCS World. Without icons (which again would never be in a full real server) it is very difficult to spot and ID unless very close. Fingers crossed that this is addressed in World 2.0
2. Server numbers being able to support relatively high numbers such as the 80-100 that Cliffs can currently support. For Squad based players these numbers are needed for realistic campaigning against human pilots and squads.
If DCS World 2.0 can accomplish those two items they will be the go to sim for MP action. Again fingers crossed as the flight models are second to none and deserve these two most importent "fixes".
