Is there anything at all that can simulate Real life? Have you ever felt absolute fear? It's a very strong motivating factor. Anything else is just a nudge in comparision.
I've felt the sweaty palms and a fast heart after a simulated flight, the very excitement of losing in simulated battle. But nothing as close to the total fear I've have felt in real life. Losing my simulated life is nothing new. And I've become jaded to it.
You can add all the medals, high score lists, Ranks, or any other behavior modifying trick in the book, not a single one is as motivating as the real thing.
So unless you can provide that gun mounted on the top of computer that fires at me when I screw up, the perfect answer is still not there.
As for who will rule the future of online flight sims. It won't be the one that kills you
