November 21, 200916 yr I have searched, high and low, for a Stinson L-5 Sentinel for FS9. Payware, freeware . . . nary a one have I found.Does someone in this vast assemblage have any knowledge of the availability of such a puppy ?Joe Schnelle Autos, schöne Frauen und deutsches Bier !

November 22, 200916 yr Well this aircraft was 1941 US Army variat of the Yo-64 / O-62 'Voyager'. Was also in Korean War and known as L-5 'Sentinel'. Was simular to the Piper L-4 'Grasshopper'. This is the plane that was used to evacuated S. Korea president Syngman Rhee during N Korea assult on Seoul. Was then replaced by Cessna L-19 'Bird Dog'. It disappeared from US Army inventory in late 1950's.So, the 'Grasshopper' is the closest to the L-5 and it's in the library here (and elsewhere, of course). Just some facts. I am sure you got pics of L-5, but here is one more, but it's from the US Air Force.Chuck BNapamule
November 22, 200916 yr Joe,I found something 'close' to what your looking for. It's the Stinson 108-3 'Voyager'. Zip name is 'stin1083.zip (at FltSimCom), 6.5 Mb, 01-09-2008, by Brian Gladden. Flys like the real one, in my opinion. Had fun flying it this pm and landing it from VC is very do-able. It has a pilot, animations, and a cool panel with VC included. Here's a pic, because the textures (by Chris Course) are super nice.The only Stinson L-5 Sentinel I found was for FS5. It would take a lot of work to put it in FS9 (including flipping the texture files) but it's basically a Piper Cub in nature, so it would not be impossible. It's he model that would give you problems. Cheers.Chuck BNapamule
November 24, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the replies. I have the Stinson 108 and had considered repainting it to be an L-5 . . may have to.Here's the drive to find one for FS.Taken in 1949 . . my dad's plane in Germany.Taken in 1953 in Formosa (Taiwan to you youngsters).Don't want to have to go to X-Plane just to have my dad's plane.JoePS: He also flew the L-4, the L-17, the L-19 and flew helos 'til he retired after 30.
