You need to look under Part 142 Training Centers. All I see for light airplanes are Level 6 FTDs which, as pointed out above, won't let you do the whole checkride in the box. While the cost of running a sim is cheaper than flying a plane, building and certifying a sim isn't cheap. Twenty years ago Lear and Hawker sims cost about as much as the planes themselves. No one's going to dump millions of dollars to sim a plane that only costs a couple hundred an hour to fly.
