Spot on.
At my last organization my Chief Pilot, with my approval bought, with a mate, a limited motion sim for a relatively modest $30,000 which could be configured for GA type piston turboprop and jet with a substantial airfield database, With sufficient fidelity that he hired it out to other training orgs.
As a corporate jet operation operating nationally and internationally with ad hoc destinations likely to be anywhere, the fidelity was such that it was possible to train to practise approaches and landings to anywhere the client wished. Google Earth also provided some really accurate terrain data and the "fly through" mode gave the crews a really good appreciation of the terrain surrounding unfamiliar destinations and for preflight planning.
Its not hard.
