So far, a mere estimate of one hundred people use the FlightGear multiplayer community. Despite this, more and more virtual airlines are emerging and cannot collect as many people as it wishes. Theories of "college students wanting power" and other ideas have been brought up several times inside the FlightGear forum, but has not been dealt with yet in the present. The underpopulation and overorganization issue has made the multiplayer networks confusing to use, possibly scaring users away to other simulators such as X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulator, where virtual airlines and multiplayer services are more organized and population-managed. Due to underpopulation, some airlines were forced to close due to hardship of managment, including former major airline Euroair. | So far, a mere estimate of one hundred people use the FlightGear multiplayer community.

Suggestions to address the underpopulation issue: | |||
* Administration should be controlled. For instance promoting ranks amongst members. Another promotions idea is to keep people in charge of certain sectors of the airline, for instance: route management, fleet management, advertising management, application/enrolment management, or whatever else is felt required for an airline. | |||
