I have no doubt that we will see players that whole reason for installing MSFS will be to just see how many other planes they can knock out of the sky.

Well there's no collision between online players in MSFS, so they'll fail.

Once they realize that they'll probably stop.

Then that is a good thing. I didn't know that as I haven't used Live Traffic yet. I am glad.

The Live Traffic option is for real flights tracked via Flight Aware. Which doesn't seem to be working right now.

Multiplayer is the top option.

Looking forward to them adding those power ups floating under the Golden Gate bridge that will make your 747 fly at Mach 1 if you pick them up whilst inverted. It will add some much-needed realism to the sim. 

[...]I also managed to prevent him from causing havoc online at JFK and wanting to crash into other players, despite his protestations.

[...] I've spoken to several people who want to get it for X Box but are totally uninterested in the realistic "Flight Sim" aspect and just want to fly 747's under bridges, and weave through the buildings in NYC, in 3rd person view...

I also expect Aboso to cater heavily to this crowd once it's released to further push the X box sales.

While there has always been a percentage of the online players that liked to just cause grief to others, it exploded with the release on Gamepass.

It's a little disappointing, but not a surprise to hear that trolling multiplayer is a favourite past time for a number of Gamepass users of MSFS.

Airforceproud95 and his videos (NSFW, btw) are already using MSFS. The Xbox crowd are gonna turn this type of flying up to 11...

'Fun' times ahead!

You don't have to play with MP enabled. I don't (not all the time anyways)

You can't hear other players using the in-sim ATC anyways.

I don't either. I had my fill of it in racing sims.

It's honestly not that bad if you're flying with 'live players' option, since most people use "all players" option since it allows them to change the time of day and weather.

The textures in the video are super ugly.

Thumbs up to FS2020 for pushing this game further to GTA. Although this was clear from the start. Just not communicated.

Oh, it was "communicated", when they said xBox.

It's nothing like GTA. It's far from it.

Well if you want to be serious you can have a group flight in MP, with your serious friends. But most, not all, of those people would be on VATSIM or something like it. Multiplayer is really fun, and I had Game Pass since the release, until yesterday when I bought MSFS, and never had one problem with  other MP players. Would we spawn on the same runway and stuff, or they land on or near me, yes, but the aircraft turns into particles like being beamed up in Star Trek. If I want to be left alone, I just have fun, and turn MP OFF!

But options are good, you don't have to use them! Everyone uses MSFS differently!

You seem to underestimate Human nature!!!

 

As been seen in every MP game in existence... Where there's a will they will find a way to cause grief!

Then don't play with MP enabled.
