A lot of guys who already fly real planes are the ones who build these. The guy who builds the ones at Motionsim.com has a twin engine that costs about $100 an hour to fly (fuel, etc) so these are just off load some flying urge. But if they have planes already why not spend the money on crazy flight sims!
Motionsim.com has the motion part for setups like these. I've tried one personally and they are great. The maker is a pilot so they are as close to the real thing as i've seen.

Motionsim.com must be liked by the slashdot crowd. They make flight/motion simulators that work with any games and they are getting hit pretty hard.
