This has always been a great plane..historic and a big part of American aviation...always on the" look see" for a model of this interesting plane.There have been some attempts to "DO this plane,but as far as I know,to date none seem avaiable in our Sim world...If it is? boy I would like to avail myself of it...thanx...Vin

Here's one:

There are reflective textures at http://www.simviation.com/fs2002vintage27.htm
It needs some work to work properly in FS2004; the gauges don't show up in VC and the eyepoint seems a bit off. The worst part is that in VC mode trying to look thru the windscreen is like looking thru a perpetual fogbank. Otherwise the flight dynamics are pretty good. Maybe some of our more talented regulars can take a looksee at this?
BTW; Bill Lyons never made a PT-22 'Maytag Messerschmidt' but he did make a rather splendid rendition of a Ryan STA.
 
THe PT-22 on Simviation, by Felipe Belalcazar is the only one currently available for us simmers to use. Someone over in the FSX forum is working on a PT-22 for a school project with the intent of making it a working FS model...no idea if that intent includes a FS2004 model or not...but the screen shots of the project look GOOD! Very nice modeling work, lots of details (the engine detail was stellar). He was looking for images of the cockpit and internal fuselage construction to really make the plane's guts look as good as its skin.

Felipe Belalcazar had ,and my be still doing this.recognizing his creative plate is full,still one wonders will this remain on the drawing board.He may be close to presenting us with this long neglected model in our Sim world!..however only he can tell us....Pictured was his last attempt as far as I know!...thanx..vin!

I saw one of these at the Wings Over Homestead airshow Saturday.

I could not believe how small it is.

Nice looking plane.

If someone where to finish a model of it I would like to see a 5' Oclock Charlie skin made.

This of course is the plane that 5 o'clock Charlie used in the M*A*S*H* episode.

Chris if you plan on doing one I took many pictures of it to get good detailed information. PM me if you want them.
 
My Grandad Owns and Flies a PT-22 down in SoCal. If anyone needs any info regarding the building of one for fs9, Let me know. As a side note, He also has a STA that he flew for many years until a engine failure and forced landing required a complete rebuild. As I write this, he's getting ready to do the test flights on it. I learned all my basic aerobatics in the PT and I credit that airplane for teaching me things that have kept me safe over the years.
 
I like the Ryan STA aircraft. It was more streamlined than the PT-22. There was one at Beverly airport before the war and supposedly it belonged to one of General Patton's Staff officers. However it was consficated in 1942.
 
Started on the PT-22 Last night and I have to say....that is the most funky looking landing gear setup I have ever seen, fun to model though.

LAST NIGHT?!?!?!? Did you sleep at all? For something you started LAST NIGHT you sure have a good bit done. Keep it up and I might be able to get my wife to let me use the credit card for a 2 plane Christmas gift....PT-22 and Lockheed Sirius (need another Lockheed to add to the collection).
