Just out of curiosity,

do we have data (I suppose by ServerStats) about which ACFT is flown 
(not left on ground) whilst in MP ?
So, ACFT :: (connected on MP) AND (Altitude < ground level)
expressed in time / ACTFT

If we do not already have it, would it not be trivial to have it ?

I suppose devs do connect MP while testing developing only to test MP 
features.

'Normal user" also do not connect MP while 'discovering'

So MP users / by ACFT higher than the ground in time/ACFT would return a 
quite impartial reading of 'accepted/acceptable' ACFT.

Kind regards
Lawrence
